We created this podcast as a resource for anyone who is looking to integrate the Nine Elements of Holistic Wellness (NEHW) into their daily lives. We will share big ideas about business and life in general.What big thoughts are you thinking today? Building Business Relationships And mind you this, my friend, prior to being transferred to you, I already gave your secretary, Catherine, a huge compliment. I told her that she was great. I told you she was great. And I'm also going to do it in writing. So when we get off the phone, you're going to tell her. And when I call your company back, not only will she remember me, She'll thank me for that compliment that I gave her because she's worked there for 10 years and no one's ever done it. She's going to tell me about your anniversary, your company culture, your direct extension. And the next thing you know, Richie's got more business because everyone loves him. And that's how you do the circle. You make nice. You touch two or three times. You build a pipeline. That's what you do, Jeff. Embrace the Unexpected: Journey of Growth I wanted my horizon. I wanted to leave a castle to slay a dragon so I can save a princess and be a prince, damn it. I wanted to drink life. And don't tell me that I was going to be CEO of a call center. I didn't even know what a call center was, but you didn't even know really what one was until this podcast. And so I fell into this, but I drank it. And I think that's one of the most beautiful things when you embrace the unexpected and incorporate it and grow from it because you would have never known. And so that's why I'm here today. I love it. Now, I could talk to you all day, Richard. I will be mindful of your time, I promise. Emotional Interactions: AI's Shortcomings There's certain times someone will want hand-holding and to spend a couple extra minutes on the phone to vent with an intake coordinator for a law firm or with their insurance company or when they're speaking with their doctor's assistant because they're emotional. And when you start doing things in that way with AI, it's really eliminating the value of that client. And so to answer your question, I do customer support. https://youtu.be/MSdL9gCx7Qk https://youtu.be/kEb34JeS1Co https://youtu.be/j3TyG7q0DgU https://youtu.be/9LodUrQP21Y The Big Thinker Universe, Jeff Borschowa, The Global Wellness HQ Podcast, Richard Blank,Costa Rica's Call Center, Outsourcing, Telemarketing Call Centre, BPO, Nearshore Contact Center, Sales, Entrepreneur, B2B, Business, Podcast, Gamification,Leadership, Marketing, CX, Guest, Money, B2C education, BPO trainer,call centre, contact centre, contact center,trend, trending Jeff Borschowa Jeff Borschowa began his accounting career in 1991.

Our experts will share their practical tips on wellness in one of these core areas: emotional, intellectual, occupational, physical, environmental, financial, spiritual, social, or habitual. We created this podcast as a resource for anyone who is looking to integrate the Nine Elements of Holistic Wellness (NEHW) into their daily lives. We will share big ideas about business and life in general.What big thoughts are you thinking today? Building Business Relationships And mind you this, my friend, prior to being transferred to you, I already gave your secretary, Catherine, a huge compliment. I told her that she was great. I told you she was great. And I'm also going to do it in writing. So when we get off the phone, you're going to tell her. And when I call your company back, not only will she remember me, She'll thank me for that compliment that I gave her because she's worked there for 10 years and no one's ever done it. She's going to tell me about your anniversary, your company culture, your direct extension. And the next thing you know, Richie's got more business because everyone loves him. And that's how you do the circle. You make nice. You touch two or three times. You build a pipeline. That's what you do, Jeff. Embrace the Unexpected: Journey of Growth I wanted my horizon. I wanted to leave a castle to slay a dragon so I can save a princess and be a prince, damn it. I wanted to drink life. And don't tell me that I was going to be CEO of a call center. I didn't even know what a call center was, but you didn't even know really what one was until this podcast. And so I fell into this, but I drank it. And I think that's one of the most beautiful things when you embrace the unexpected and incorporate it and grow from it because you would have never known. And so that's why I'm here today. I love it. Now, I could talk to you all day, Richard. I will be mindful of your time, I promise. Emotional Interactions: AI's Shortcomings There's certain times someone will want hand-holding and to spend a couple extra minutes on the phone to vent with an intake coordinator for a law firm or with their insurance company or when they're speaking with their doctor's assistant because they're emotional. And when you start doing things in that way with AI, it's really eliminating the value of that client. And so to answer your question, I do customer support. https://youtu.be/MSdL9gCx7Qk https://youtu.be/kEb34JeS1Co https://youtu.be/j3TyG7q0DgU https://youtu.be/9LodUrQP21Y The Big Thinker Universe, Jeff Borschowa, The Global Wellness HQ Podcast, Richard Blank,Costa Rica's Call Center, Outsourcing, Telemarketing Call Centre, BPO, Nearshore Contact Center, Sales, Entrepreneur, B2B, Business, Podcast, Gamification,Leadership, Marketing, CX, Guest, Money, B2C education, BPO trainer,call centre, contact centre, contact center,trend, trending Jeff Borschowa Jeff Borschowa began his accounting career in 1991.

I told you she was great. And I'm also going to do it in writing. So when we get off the phone, you're going to tell her. And when I call your company back, not only will she remember me, She'll thank me for that compliment that I gave her because she's worked there for 10 years and no one's ever done it. She's going to tell me about your anniversary, your company culture, your direct extension. And the next thing you know, Richie's got more business because everyone loves him. And that's how you do the circle. You make nice. You touch two or three times. You build a pipeline. That's what you do, Jeff. Embrace the Unexpected: Journey of Growth I wanted my horizon. I wanted to leave a castle to slay a dragon so I can save a princess and be a prince, damn it. I wanted to drink life. And don't tell me that I was going to be CEO of a call center. I didn't even know what a call center was, but you didn't even know really what one was until this podcast. And so I fell into this, but I drank it. And I think that's one of the most beautiful things when you embrace the unexpected and incorporate it and grow from it because you would have never known. And so that's why I'm here today. I love it. Now, I could talk to you all day, Richard. I will be mindful of your time, I promise. Emotional Interactions: AI's Shortcomings There's certain times someone will want hand-holding and to spend a couple extra minutes on the phone to vent with an intake coordinator for a law firm or with their insurance company or when they're speaking with their doctor's assistant because they're emotional. And when you start doing things in that way with AI, it's really eliminating the value of that client. And so to answer your question, I do customer support. https://youtu.be/MSdL9gCx7Qk https://youtu.be/kEb34JeS1Co https://youtu.be/j3TyG7q0DgU https://youtu.be/9LodUrQP21Y The Big Thinker Universe, Jeff Borschowa, The Global Wellness HQ Podcast, Richard Blank,Costa Rica's Call Center, Outsourcing, Telemarketing Call Centre, BPO, Nearshore Contact Center, Sales, Entrepreneur, B2B, Business, Podcast, Gamification,Leadership, Marketing, CX, Guest, Money, B2C education, BPO trainer,call centre, contact centre, contact center,trend, trending Jeff Borschowa Jeff Borschowa began his accounting career in 1991.

I make camp. I exhaust every drop you have. vertically before i move horizontally to that next question which i'm going to be asking in an open-ended way because i'll still get your yes or no but i'll get the explanation sometimes i'll figure out where the priorities are and you could have saved me some time and so these are the greatest ways for you to breathe to be able to lower your temperature think ahead plan your notes and it's a It's a beautiful dance if people are willing to do it. Richard's Passion for Pinball Machines guy's garage and pull them out. And so currently today I have 15 pinball machines, six jukeboxes. I've collected air hockey tables and other retro machines because I have the space for it. And secondly, I'm willing to die on that hill. My wife can win 99.9% of the arguments. This is the one battle I'm on to fight. Please just let me have my video games and my pinball machines. If we do, I'll have a very happy marriage. I love it. Now, what's your rarest machine or your prize? Who's your favorite child? What a beautiful question. It's difficult to say, but my taste has changed through the years. Right now, my favorite decade for pinball machines were the 1970s, okay? You still had, sometimes you might have the new screens, but it's usually the wheel and the sound would be the bells that you would have. But my favorite part, and this is where I go crazy, It's the marquee art. It's the play field. So it's not a laminate or a sticker. This was painted on wood. So over the years, you can see the certain cracks. It has its specific roles. And if the cabinet and the outside is preserved and in good condition, you see some of the most amazing artwork on these machines, from the pins to where you put in the coins to the lighting. I get passionate over it and I love the restoration of it. The Human Touch vs. AI in Customer Service How am I going to shatter misconceptions? Yo, Jeff, you watch movies, don't you? Absolutely. The Wolf of Wall Street and Boiler Room. Glengarry Glen Ross, right? The prime gig. All that good stuff. Wow. I mean, you're screaming out, Recco, cutting ties. Everyone's standing. Closing on cold calls. I mean, come on, Gene the Machine. Golfies for closers. Please. It really depends on the environment that you're in. There's five campaigns I don't do here. It's because I'm in a very strict Catholic country and I'm a guest here. We don't do sports books, casinos, stocks, pharmacies, or sweepstakes. there's a lot of companies out there such as your bank or other places that will retain a client that will give you an upsell or some sort of referral or assistance that you might not get when you're just entering in information filling out forms waiting for somebody to respond that's the most frustrating thing when you keep pressing zero yeah and so as much as people are downsizing and trying to do things through ai AI can't give you a hug. And AI can't tell you that they know where you're coming from if your dog dies The Power of Delegation and Growth Or how about even this, the best part, you might even be able to start hiring people and paying salaries and delegating and promoting. And so the moment that you release that weight mentally, physically, spiritually, then you rise, right? Release whatever weight is holding you back so you can expand. That's my only suggestion for your audience. I can't thank you enough. You do the best podcast. You know, I had a great time with you today. I have the best guests. So it's all you.
