   Most people perk up when their name is being said. It's one of the first words that are taught to us from birth and one of the essential links to our identity. The psychology on our name spans from relationships to sales. We like it when people call us by our name, because we inherently want to be remembered. But what about conversations people have about you? 


   A study from NCBI called Brain Activation When Hearing One's Own and Others' Names stated, "There is unique brain activation specific to one's own name in relation to the names of others". In sales, you recognize that people are inwardly selfish and respond better when you know their name and let them talk about themselves. So, when a friend or colleague tells you that they were talking about you to someone else, you want to know what they said.
