Disability Insurance Reflexology

While listening to a coach extol the athletic virtues of a prized athlete, he used a descriptive cliché, “Homer is always in the right place at the right time. He has instincts as to where the ball is going to be”.

This belief has been debunked. Homer cannot read the minds of his teammates. He is simply conditioned to the patterns of the game. This conditioning is built into a reflex pattern that usually works to his advantage. It is a technique used by the great ones. He does not have to wait and see where the ball or the push is going. His repetitive experiences have been mentally catalogued and developed into reflexes that eliminate the time required to think.

If reflexology works with athletes why can’t it work with sales persons? We suspect that it can and so we put together clues and patterns that will enable a producer to:

  1. Remember all products and all uses of those products
  2. Instinctively respond to the key words, or motions of the client, and always be on top of his game (sales).
