2) How to Win
Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
Remembering Names
and Enthusiasm Matter - Read this book
or take the courses from the Carnegie programs. Either way, you will win. The number one lesson I learned from
Carnegie is that other people's names are music to their ears. Learn names of clients, customers, or those in
positions of influence. Be enthusiastic with people and miracles will happen. Carnegie, D. (1994). How to Win
Friends and Influence People. New York: Pocket Books
