First off, you could record the initial meeting on your phone. Also like pamela said, repeat the name back to them. I always heard you should repeat it back at least three times in your initial meeting. And find a distinguishing feature you can 'link' in your mind to that person. Review the information again before going to bed. In this day and age it shouldn't be difficult to get a pic of the person to put with the name for the purpose of reviewing the information in your mind.

Pamela is right, and you notice the instructions for it is to keep that name in mind repeated for at least 30 seconds.
