Creating Playful Connections with Vintage Pinball So they're not on their phone or smoking a cigarette or by themselves. And it gives a chance for people to approach me so we can talk and laugh and compete. And they'll never get a chance to play these old, beautiful machines. I got a 1970 Bally's Camelot and a 71 Bally's Expressway. When are they ever going to see these electrical, mechanical, gorgeous machines from the 70s? And so I do this because it's like the Willy Wonka thing. You know, the umptalumptas, they sing while they work. I got people here that like skip through the hallways because they're in a good mood. That's great. Yeah. It's nurturing. I've created play and I'm doing it at a certain advanced level of professionalism because when you laugh with a co-worker, because no one ever laughs at work, but when you see someone and you're laughing through fun, man, you saw a different side of them. You saw them giggling, laughing, winning. And that's special. Quality Over Quantity in Telemarketing And if you can find that sort of focused imbalance in the beginning of a phone call, you will get such amazing distance, like the long bow. That changes battle. And so instead of making 400 calls a day, tell your supervisor, Billy, I'm making 125. Why? Because my metrics moved. I'm doubling the amount of talk time. And look at my conversion ratios. So do you have any common metrics? Oh, that's awesome. I'm in front of a lot of people. You know what I do. I work with sales organizations. And in a big group, after they get to know me a bit, I'll say, how many of you actually like to prospect? There's usually one, maybe two people. And I joke with them and I say, you're weird. It's not normal to like getting on a phone and calling strangers, but You know, then I say, I wish more people were like that. You have a passion for this. Strategic Business Management and Delegation And so companies might be in a rut or they might not understand the art of speech or how to write a script or how to marinate a list and really how to do a good workflow. Or they're just overwhelmed and they really want somebody to assist them to tee it up for them. And they go in and close. Listen, a lot of companies, my friend, it's about letting go. I'm not telling you to give the keys to the company, but if you're overwhelming yourself with making phone calls, it's like someone that owns a restaurant. You can't do everything. And so you don't also want to hire the cheapest person because it could ruin your clientele base and they might not want to come back. And so that's why I always ask for the profile, specifically what you're looking for in the expectations. And when I read scripts, it's very interesting how they kind of write it. They think like I'm calling and the person answering his credit card at the ready. It doesn't work like that The Transformative Experience of Studying in Spain Get the opportunity. How did you get the opportunity? And when did you go to Spain, University of Sevilla to study Spanish and get that language proficiency? In order to be a Spanish major at the University of Arizona, you have to spend some time abroad. I'm like, really? That's cool. Force me. Yeah. Then I doubled down. I'm not going first semester and coming home. I want the full year. And I want Christmas break over that time to not come home, to take a backpack, a URL pass. call my family once a week on a pay phone and travel, go to Amsterdam, go to Corfu, Greece. That's cool. And this is before the cell phone. So you had to hustle the hookup. You had to go around and meet people. You had to read the signs and show up at the bar. It was so bohemic. It was incredible. And the people that I would meet, and it was not saying it was clean in regards to hygiene. I'm talking about youth hostels, but it still had a sense of innocence to it still. Yeah. And the people there shared books. And if they saw someone, they would join. But he doesn't speak any of the languages we speak. Complete place at the table. And I learned that what I grew up with in the United States sometimes was not applicable or had any sort of merit somewhere else. And I needed to shed that skin to not only be included, but to learn.

Creating Playful Connections with Vintage Pinball So they're not on their phone or smoking a cigarette or by themselves. And it gives a chance for people to approach me so we can talk and laugh and compete. And they'll never get a chance to play these old, beautiful machines. I got a 1970 Bally's Camelot and a 71 Bally's Expressway. When are they ever going to see these electrical, mechanical, gorgeous machines from the 70s? And so I do this because it's like the Willy Wonka thing. You know, the umptalumptas, they sing while they work. I got people here that like skip through the hallways because they're in a good mood. That's great. Yeah. It's nurturing. I've created play and I'm doing it at a certain advanced level of professionalism because when you laugh with a co-worker, because no one ever laughs at work, but when you see someone and you're laughing through fun, man, you saw a different side of them. You saw them giggling, laughing, winning. And that's special. Quality Over Quantity in Telemarketing And if you can find that sort of focused imbalance in the beginning of a phone call, you will get such amazing distance, like the long bow. That changes battle. And so instead of making 400 calls a day, tell your supervisor, Billy, I'm making 125. Why? Because my metrics moved. I'm doubling the amount of talk time. And look at my conversion ratios. So do you have any common metrics? Oh, that's awesome. I'm in front of a lot of people. You know what I do. I work with sales organizations. And in a big group, after they get to know me a bit, I'll say, how many of you actually like to prospect? There's usually one, maybe two people. And I joke with them and I say, you're weird. It's not normal to like getting on a phone and calling strangers, but You know, then I say, I wish more people were like that. You have a passion for this. Strategic Business Management and Delegation And so companies might be in a rut or they might not understand the art of speech or how to write a script or how to marinate a list and really how to do a good workflow. Or they're just overwhelmed and they really want somebody to assist them to tee it up for them. And they go in and close. Listen, a lot of companies, my friend, it's about letting go. I'm not telling you to give the keys to the company, but if you're overwhelming yourself with making phone calls, it's like someone that owns a restaurant. You can't do everything. And so you don't also want to hire the cheapest person because it could ruin your clientele base and they might not want to come back.

Our website: https://ArmyMen.com.ar Sarge Hawk and Bravo Company destroyed a portal at a real world dinner party while a seductive Blue spy watched from afar, admiring Sarge. After returning to the Plastic World, Grimm informs Sarge and Vikki about the anti-plastrification serum and the threat it represents to the Green Nation. Sarge and Vikki are sent to destroy a freighter train containing the serum and the portal the Tans use to transport it. They succeed, so Sarge and Vikki part ways, Sarge going to the Freezer while Vikki goes to the Graveyard. In the freezer, Sarge manages to destroy the serum hidden inside the soda cans, and Vikki, with Hoover's help, manages to get to Dr. Madd.'s, but instead of waiting for Sarge, she enters the Castle and ends up captured by Zombies. But Sarge eventually manages to rescue her and destroy the Serum inside the castle. Upon their return, Grimm informs the duo that they have found the location of the Tannenburg headquarters with the help of a female Blue spy, revealed to be Brigitte Bleu, who claims to be working with the Blue Resistance. The Green Army launches an assault on the Tan Headquarters and Tannenburg is captured. During the peace treaty, Plastro invades the base through a portal with his new army and captures Vikki. Seeing that the base is lost, Grimm and Sarge escape. They meet up with Bravo Company at a distant outpost and are sent to capture Tan's Dormitory Command... ----------------------------------- Sarge's Heroes 2 picks up after the first game. The leader of the Tan Nation, General Plastro, has been missing ever since he fought Sergeant Hawk. Sarge has been busy blowing up the portals connecting the reduced-scale Plastic World to the "other world" on the Real World scale, the world of humans. In addition to guarding the portals that allow the Army Men to teleport to the real world, Sarge wants to uncover the details behind Bleu's plan to revive Plastro, before the Tans can use it to their advantage. It's basically the same third-person shooter from the last Sarge's Heroes, which we game fans love. There are many traditional weapons to use such as sniper rifles, grenade launchers, bazookas, mortars and the like. The Sergeant and his friends go through places like a refrigerator or the kitchen table, while destroying small squads of Tan Army Men and achieving objectives ranging from protecting a teammate, rescuing someone or simple search and destroy. As each small squad of Tan Army Men is destroyed, you are rewarded with full health before heading out on the next group of enemies. The system works pretty well until you die and realize you have to start the whole level from the beginning. Some of the levels can take almost half an hour to complete (unless you're an expert making a speedrun), and the lack of save points in the middle of the level can get frustrating (unless, like most nowadays, you're using an emulator). There are also several cooperative levels where a fellow Bravo Company Commando team up with you for the mission. Often your own teammate will shoot you repeatedly, or put themselves in constant danger, making the level much more difficult than it should be because you have to protect them. The feel of the game is different, in general. Rather than try to adapt what exists on the other consoles (PS2 or N64) and pare it down for the limited Playstation hardware, like the original Sarge's Heroes did, the team on this port decided to put their own mark on a lot of things. The levels have been completely redesigned to be more compact, some weapons have been added, and more enemies have been added to the mix. Sarge's Heroes 2 for PlayStation 2 is by far one of the best looking Army Men games to date. This PlayStation 1 version is almost totally different, but although it is lower quality for the obvious reason of running on the PS1, the quality of the game, the models and the resolution of the textures have been greatly improved. The Army Men have a nice shiny look to them and there are some noteworthy effects like reflections and particles that are used quite liberally. The explotions also look particularly good. Even so, the repetitive enemies age the experience quickly and the not-so-powerful bosses fail to spice up the game. In general, the graphics in Sarge's Heroes 2 are the result of an old game engine on an old console, only with graphic improvements. Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 is some of the best the series has to offer. If you've enjoyed Army Men games in the past, Sarge's Heroes 2 is more of the same. The gameplay is a bit frustrating as always and there are a lot of bugs that haven't been fixed. But anyway, for those who haven't found previous iterations of the series disappointing, they won't change their minds with this latest installment. #ArmyMen #ArmyMenSargesHeroes2 #SargesHeroes2

Our website: https://ArmyMen.com.ar Sarge Hawk and Bravo Company destroyed a portal at a real world dinner party while a seductive Blue spy watched from afar, admiring Sarge. After returning to the Plastic World, Grimm informs Sarge and Vikki about the anti-plastrification serum and the threat it represents to the Green Nation. Sarge and Vikki are sent to destroy a freighter train containing the serum and the portal the Tans use to transport it. They succeed, so Sarge and Vikki part ways, Sarge going to the Freezer while Vikki goes to the Graveyard. In the freezer, Sarge manages to destroy the serum hidden inside the soda cans, and Vikki, with Hoover's help, manages to get to Dr. Madd.'s, but instead of waiting for Sarge, she enters the Castle and ends up captured by Zombies. But Sarge eventually manages to rescue her and destroy the Serum inside the castle. Upon their return, Grimm informs the duo that they have found the location of the Tannenburg headquarters with the help of a female Blue spy, revealed to be Brigitte Bleu, who claims to be working with the Blue Resistance. The Green Army launches an assault on the Tan Headquarters and Tannenburg is captured. During the peace treaty, Plastro invades the base through a portal with his new army and captures Vikki. Seeing that the base is lost, Grimm and Sarge escape. They meet up with Bravo Company at a distant outpost and are sent to capture Tan's Dormitory Command... ----------------------------------- Sarge's Heroes 2 picks up after the first game. The leader of the Tan Nation, General Plastro, has been missing ever since he fought Sergeant Hawk. Sarge has been busy blowing up the portals connecting the reduced-scale Plastic World to the "other world" on the Real World scale, the world of humans. In addition to guarding the portals that allow the Army Men to teleport to the real world, Sarge wants to uncover the details behind Bleu's plan to revive Plastro, before the Tans can use it to their advantage. It's basically the same third-person shooter from the last Sarge's Heroes, which we game fans love. There are many traditional weapons to use such as sniper rifles, grenade launchers, bazookas, mortars and the like. The Sergeant and his friends go through places like a refrigerator or the kitchen table, while destroying small squads of Tan Army Men and achieving objectives ranging from protecting a teammate, rescuing someone or simple search and destroy. As each small squad of Tan Army Men is destroyed, you are rewarded with full health before heading out on the next group of enemies. The system works pretty well until you die and realize you have to start the whole level from the beginning. Some of the levels can take almost half an hour to complete (unless you're an expert making a speedrun), and the lack of save points in the middle of the level can get frustrating (unless, like most nowadays, you're using an emulator). There are also several cooperative levels where a fellow Bravo Company Commando team up with you for the mission. Often your own teammate will shoot you repeatedly, or put themselves in constant danger, making the level much more difficult than it should be because you have to protect them. The feel of the game is different, in general. Rather than try to adapt what exists on the other consoles (PS2 or N64) and pare it down for the limited Playstation hardware, like the original Sarge's Heroes did, the team on this port decided to put their own mark on a lot of things.

Meanwhile, Sarge confronts one of the prisoners in the castle's dungeons... Sarge's Heroes 2 picks up after the first game. The leader of the Tan Nation, General Plastro, has been missing ever since he fought Sergeant Hawk. Sarge has been busy blowing up the portals connecting the reduced-scale Plastic World to the "other world" on the Real World scale, the world of humans. In this version of the game, that table seems to exist in a strange painting. This is the first difference I noticed about the Playstation 2 version & Nintendo 64: its strange effects. The backgrounds are blacked out, but the colors and shadows are high contrast giving everything a neon look. No matter what you're doing or what level you're at, these images of LSD are constantly appearing at you, making Army Men SH2 on PSX a slightly quirky experience unlike any other game, and even its other N64 and PS2 ports. This is made stranger by a soundtrack that seems to be lifted from the series' more upbeat remixes. In addition to guarding the portals that allow the Army Men to teleport to the real world, Sarge wants to uncover the details behind Bleu's plan to revive Plastro, before the Tans can use it to their advantage. It's basically the same third-person shooter from the last Sarge's Heroes, which we game fans love.

So the guy looks at me, he goes, listen, the gas station is just a block away. And he goes, I'll push it if you will. I go, are you serious? He goes, yeah, why not? And so I took my jacket off. I'm still in my suit. Got the, you know, the best on. It's a good bonding moment there. Pushed it down the street. People are honking, laughing at me. A guy on purpose would curve a little, so it splashed me. Handling Leadership Challenges During COVID Yes, of course, Laura. It was during COVID when all of a sudden the government said, you got to send everybody home. And so what do you do? IT needed to prepare the lifeboats. The agents mentally needed to prepare for the isolation. And my supervisors and I needed to create certain mediums to keep that communication going and that lifeline going. And so I saw some people run for the hills. I saw freshmen step up to the plate. The Gary Technique: Trust and Perseverance Tell me about a time when you went to bat for someone else. Who did you speak to on their behalf? Why and how? I totally remember this story when we spoke about it, Laura. I had an agent called Gary and we called the Gary technique. This guy was usually the ramper upper where I'd put him on a brand new campaign to lead the charge, show some metrics and things will look good. Once again, the lone voice with the client convincing them that this is the guy. So after a certain day or two, when the client was losing its patience or Gary wasn't, you know, hitting the home runs yet, he said, Hey, I want you to remove him and try somebody else. And I said, you haven't really given him enough time. He goes, no, I just don't have a good vibe. I go, okay. Let's give it until the end of the day. And then I'll put him on another campaign. Next thing you know, Gary ripped three appointments. And so the client calls about it goes, why? I didn't know that. Let's keep, I go, well, listen, Billy, I did speak to the other client. He's being moved, but I just got to let you know in the future, have faith in me, trust my opinion. This is my wheelhouse. I know what I'm doing. And you know, just once the people get loosey goosey and they feel comfy on the phone, then you start hitting them. And so, um, I've fallen on swords for people because I've known what they've done. And I've also made mistakes as well. Sometimes Gary was not the good fit on a certain campaign and it just wasn't the right guy. Guy can't bat a thousand. Sure. Sure. And so I'm willing to take that hit too. But the beauty of it is at the end of the day, regardless of the outcome, the fact that you might have faith in somebody else besides yourself.

It was during COVID when all of a sudden the government said, you got to send everybody home. And so what do you do? IT needed to prepare the lifeboats. The agents mentally needed to prepare for the isolation. And my supervisors and I needed to create certain mediums to keep that communication going and that lifeline going. And so I saw some people run for the hills. I saw freshmen step up to the plate. The Gary Technique: Trust and Perseverance Tell me about a time when you went to bat for someone else. Who did you speak to on their behalf? Why and how? I totally remember this story when we spoke about it, Laura. I had an agent called Gary and we called the Gary technique. This guy was usually the ramper upper where I'd put him on a brand new campaign to lead the charge, show some metrics and things will look good. Once again, the lone voice with the client convincing them that this is the guy. So after a certain day or two, when the client was losing its patience or Gary wasn't, you know, hitting the home runs yet, he said, Hey, I want you to remove him and try somebody else. And I said, you haven't really given him enough time. He goes, no, I just don't have a good vibe. I go, okay. Let's give it until the end of the day. And then I'll put him on another campaign. Next thing you know, Gary ripped three appointments. And so the client calls about it goes, why? I didn't know that. Let's keep, I go, well, listen, Billy, I did speak to the other client. He's being moved, but I just got to let you know in the future, have faith in me, trust my opinion. This is my wheelhouse. I know what I'm doing. And you know, just once the people get loosey goosey and they feel comfy on the phone, then you start hitting them. And so, um, I've fallen on swords for people because I've known what they've done. And I've also made mistakes as well. Sometimes Gary was not the good fit on a certain campaign and it just wasn't the right guy. Guy can't bat a thousand. Sure. Sure. And so I'm willing to take that hit too. But the beauty of it is at the end of the day, regardless of the outcome, the fact that you might have faith in somebody else besides yourself.

So the guy looks at me, he goes, listen, the gas station is just a block away. And he goes, I'll push it if you will. I go, are you serious? He goes, yeah, why not? And so I took my jacket off. I'm still in my suit. Got the, you know, the best on. It's a good bonding moment there. Pushed it down the street. People are honking, laughing at me. A guy on purpose would curve a little, so it splashed me. Handling Leadership Challenges During COVID Yes, of course, Laura. It was during COVID when all of a sudden the government said, you got to send everybody home. And so what do you do? IT needed to prepare the lifeboats. The agents mentally needed to prepare for the isolation. And my supervisors and I needed to create certain mediums to keep that communication going and that lifeline going. And so I saw some people run for the hills. I saw freshmen step up to the plate. The Gary Technique: Trust and Perseverance Tell me about a time when you went to bat for someone else. Who did you speak to on their behalf? Why and how? I totally remember this story when we spoke about it, Laura. I had an agent called Gary and we called the Gary technique. This guy was usually the ramper upper where I'd put him on a brand new campaign to lead the charge, show some metrics and things will look good. Once again, the lone voice with the client convincing them that this is the guy. So after a certain day or two, when the client was losing its patience or Gary wasn't, you know, hitting the home runs yet, he said, Hey, I want you to remove him and try somebody else. And I said, you haven't really given him enough time. He goes, no, I just don't have a good vibe. I go, okay. Let's give it until the end of the day. And then I'll put him on another campaign. Next thing you know, Gary ripped three appointments. And so the client calls about it goes, why? I didn't know that. Let's keep, I go, well, listen, Billy, I did speak to the other client. He's being moved, but I just got to let you know in the future, have faith in me, trust my opinion. This is my wheelhouse. I know what I'm doing. And you know, just once the people get loosey goosey and they feel comfy on the phone, then you start hitting them. And so, um, I've fallen on swords for people because I've known what they've done. And I've also made mistakes as well. Sometimes Gary was not the good fit on a certain campaign and it just wasn't the right guy. Guy can't bat a thousand. Sure. Sure. And so I'm willing to take that hit too. But the beauty of it is at the end of the day, regardless of the outcome, the fact that you might have faith in somebody else besides yourself.
