I also feel like people only remember what they want to remember. For instance if I'm at a bar and an attractive person tells me their name I am much more likely to remember it then the bartender who I also had a casual conversation with, however vain that might sound. I've heard a few dozen pitches and I still remember many who gave them by what their company is doing rather then who they are... YMMV as always.
