That's some business sales BS they teach when you use peoples name to both show them that they are important (Look! I know who you are.) and to make them feel a "connection" to you.
That stuff is true and does work BUT some idiots way overuse it and continually say the other parties name in lieu of pronouns. "Well Bill, knowing that our widget is vitally important to the success of your business I think it needs to be bought. Don't you Bill? I mean, Bill, after all you want to be successful. Right Bill?"
I literally tune people out when they pull that crap on me.

No but it's good to throw it in once or twice.
