Basic mistakes people make with names

1. Never spell a person's name wrong. Just spend a few seconds to check her Facebook or LinkedIn. 

2. If Wong Sea Kiong introduces himself as Sea Kiong, please address him as Sea Kiong, not Wong. 

3. When talking to a new friend / colleague, use her name during conversation. It helps you remember the name, and also makes her feel respected and cherished. 

4. Before going into a meeting with new people, spend some time finding out and remembering their names. 

None of these are hard to do, but they can work wonders in building relationships.
