Say Their Name. First. Always. And Yes, every single time.
This is my favourite tip – start every email, call, message, or LinkedIn DM with their name. And keep using their name with every question asked.
“Hi Sarah, quick question…”
“James, this might be worth a look.”
“Rebecca – can I run something by you?”
Why? Because our own name lights up our brain. It’s personal. It makes us feel seen.
It’s not cheesy. It’s neuroscience. Our names are the sweetest music to our ears so…..
Just “Say my name. say my name. la la la ” Beyonce
