Jim Kwik says you have six seconds after hearing someone's name to lock it in memory. Say it aloud, use it in conversation, ask a follow-up question, or visualize it. Without a personal reason to remember, none of it works.

When somebody tells you something like their name, you have 6 seconds to do something with it. Otherwise, it's gone. So saying it and using it and asking, visualizing it helps you to take it in and put it into your memory. But it starts with motivation. So ask yourself, why do I want to remember this name? Maybe it's to get a referral. Maybe it's to make a deal. Maybe it's to practice these things I learned from Jim. And if you won't get a reason, you won't get the results.
