" I think it was elizabeth that recently commented that she was impressed with how I remember various hubskiers "

See?! How do you even remember that !?!

I've always had terrible memory for names and basic information about people, which is particularly bad if you want to do anything business related as I aspire too. Do you have any tips on how to keep all these things in mind? Or is it just all about being more conscious of it and paying more attention when people introduce themselves?

thenewgreen is amazing at this. I often mix up users for NO REASON. For example, for some reason flagamuffin and ButterflyEffect - these are two people that only have hubski in common - but for some reason, I mix up who I think they are all the time. And then there was the time I called out demure instead of galen... there are a ton more where for no logical reason, my brain mismatches usernames. It probably has a lot to do with not seeing your faces. I'm usually much better when I have a face.

I don't use any tricks etc. I just really care about Hubski a lot and therefore, I remember stuff. Especially content that I find interesting. Trust me, I am far less likely to recall something in my professional life.

I remember stuff about my friends IRL etc too. Basically, if its something I care about, I remember it.

    How do you even remember that

He's in the business of forging client relationships. It usually comes with the territory.
