There’s only one feeling worse that forgetting someone: devaluing someone. In your organization, club, business or association – there are bound to be dozens, possibly even hundreds of members you’ve never met. That’s okay. You can’t keep a tab on everybody. People come in and out of organizations all the time, and not everyone comes to every meeting.
Beware of questions like, “Are you a new member?”
Don’t assume that someone is The New Guy simply because you don’t know them. Even if you think “Oh, I know everybody,” there are always people on the fringes. Perhaps they joined the organization five years ago. Maybe they’ve been out of town for a few months or their schedule conflicts with certain meetings or events.
SUCCESS SENTENCE: “I don’t believe we’ve met before – my name’s Scott.”
LET ME ASK YA THIS…
How do you approach people you don’t know in your organization?
