Using a person's first name is a powerful technique for building social connection, influence, and perceived trustworthiness.

“Use people's first names. Become the kind of person even when you're tired, even when you're overwhelmed, just a simple little fix. Take a beat. What did you say your name was again? That's it. And then say it.”
