谈话技巧

Use People's Names More

多说对方的名字

We are more likely to be in tune with others when they say our name. Dale Carnegie, an author of public speaking and interpersonal skills books, previously said our names are “the sweetest and most important sound” to us. In conversation, you can use this to your advantage by asking for their name, and then dropping their name occasionally throughout the conversation later on.

当别人说出我们的名字时，我们会更可能和他们保持在一个频道上。公共演讲和人际关系类书籍作者戴尔•卡耐基曾说过，对人们而言，自己的名字是“最甜美、最重要的声音”。在交谈中你可以充分利用这一点，先询问对方的名字，然后在后面的谈话中偶尔提到它。

The ability to remember someone's name has been linked to people being more likely to help you, more likely to buy from you, and is seen as a compliment. A study in the Journal of Consumer Research found using people's names is a complementary means of persuasion. When we hear our name, we automatically shift our attention to the speaker, which creates an illusion that we are important.

记住别人名字的能力让你更容易获得帮助、更有可能售出商品，这种行为被视为一种赞美。《消费者研究期刊》上的一项研究发现，使用人名是增强说服力的方法。当我们听到自己的名字时，会自动把注意力转移到说话者身上，产生一种我们很重要的幻觉。
