How To Save New Contacts In Your Phone When You Meet Them
Here we are talking about phone numbers. At some point in the relationship building process, you are going to get a phone number. How do you keep these organized? Let me show you.
There are four main things I am tagging people with when I am adding someone into my contacts in my phone:
- Their full name (for obvious reasons, ha-ha).
- Where they currently live.
I make sure that I include where they live, so that anytime I am in their city or area I can contact them for lunch or coffee. That, plus I am aware of where they reside.
- What they do for a living or how they are useful to me.
I put their profession in their title as well, so that anytime I need someone from their profession, I can just type in the keywords and they will pop right up.
- Where I met them.
To remind myself of where I met them and how I know them, I tend to add that to the end of their title if it’s someone I may not already remember. If you don’t catalog people in this way, it’ll be harder to stay in contact with them down the road. That might be because you forget who they are, or you can’t remember the difference between two people named ‘Ryan’ based only off their last name.
Whenever I don’t catalog people in this manner, I never really talk to that person again. It’s weird but I know this method works. ????
