He shares more about what it takes to be an entrepreneur and the skills you have to acquire! Monday Mindset: Entrepreneurs this one is for you How are your sales calls with your clients? Do you connect with a potential client on a human level? Or do you have a process? Well I had the honor to interview Richard Blank CEO of Costa Rica’s Call Center A state of the art BPO telemarketing outsource company Many times we forget to really listen to what our clients are needing from us, or we disregard our values as a business once the company grows, but in the end, our clients and customers should always receive the best version of the team in any situation. Coming of Age Moments in Recruitment But somehow crack that code for that rainy Wednesday or that time they needed the picking up. Oh, I have a seat. So when people are filling out our resumes and our forms to get hired, I ask them to turn the piece of paper over so you can give me a couple of paragraphs on the coming of age moment. Coming of age? And I go, of course, the time that you beat up a bully, you saved a kitten, or you did it both in one day. Yeah. It's like an 80s movie. You ride off in the sunset with your girlfriend and you beat up the bully. Yeah. I will see what they write. Effective Conflict Management: Handling Anger and Cursing What about conflict management, Alejandra? That too. That's a good point. Okay, so someone's coming at you, guns a blazing, frustrated, the whole shebang, right? Making a scene, cursing. Cursing? Yelling at you. Yeah. Okay, so what do we do? They're cursing at you, right? Let them keep going. As long as they're not cursing at you, they get one warning. If not, then you kill the call. But if they're just cursing out loud, Then they go, Richard, I'm really sorry for cursing. I go, Alejandra, are you done yet? You want to curse a little more? No, I'm okay, Richard. Are you sure? I'm sure. May we move forward? Yes. Thank you. You can let someone cry themselves to sleep or realize the faults in their actions by not interrupting or lecturing. They will then say, but don't say it's okay. No, no, no, no. It's okay. You just were cursing for 10 minutes and wasting my time. Alejandro, are you done yet? The Priceless Moments with Pets When people toast, what happens when you see the, and my favorite, I know when it's humans that do it, but when you see people come back from the military and their dogs or pets. Oh yes. I love those videos. You don't cry. You're not human. And so you tell me there's nothing in the world more important than that moment. So how do you put prices on even money? No, no, no. They give it all away to hug their puppy one more time. Money vs. Self-Respect: A Timeless Question What happens when you have all the dough? And then you look at yourself in the mirror. Can you respect yourself? Is it worth it? So you realize anybody can get the money. Not everybody has self-respect and dignity. Correct. And when you say, well, Richard, what has changed throughout the centuries and millennials? Well, sure, fashion, technology, architecture, but a smile and a hug and a handshake and exchanging food hasn't changed since the beginning of time. https://youtu.be/qf3cUzsCBZs https://youtube.com/shorts/0ZwPBpRQRjg https://youtube.com/shorts/YvXblaU9ylM https://youtube.com/shorts/Ho2_BAm-YkE https://youtube.com/shorts/QCEhUm7LQkc Richard Blank has the largest collection of restored American Pinball machines and antique Rockola Jukeboxes in Central America making gamification a strong part of CCC culture.Richard Blank is the Chief Executive Officer for Costa Rica’s Call Center since 2008.

And so I said to myself, is this a special sauce or did I just have a foresight to do this? But I tell you what, when I meet other business owners here in Costa Rica that have done a lot of very good things while we're having dinner and we're talking and sharing the trade, I say, yeah, How's your Spanish? They're like, un poquito. I'm like, nice poquito. Pop Culture Study: Mastering Communication from Classic TV Characters The A-Team? Yes. Yes. Do you remember The Face Man, Templeton Peck, played by the great actor Dirk Benedict? Yes. Well, good. Your audience should study him because he was smooth before technology. There was also a show in the 80s called Remington Steel with Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist. Now, if you want to study exceptional rhetoric and delivery, watch that. In fact, I dress like him Timeless Gestures of Connection And when you say, well, Richard, what has changed throughout the centuries and millennials? Well, sure, fashion, technology, architecture, but a smile and a hug and a handshake and exchanging food hasn't changed since the beginning of time. And so... I believe if those are the gestures that last throughout the years, and those are the ones I'm going to be focusing on first. The Value of Local Partnerships in Business I'm not on a home court advantage. So let's be realistic. I am a guest here and I do not look Tico. So they might be charging me 20% more or making it more difficult for me. So I needed an ace man. I needed a sidekick, a local that can get me not just the discounts, but the flexibility and convenience, but also represent me on the streets. But I tell you what, in order for me to grow, I needed to hire local specialists like an IT director. I needed attorneys, accountants, human resources director, individuals that knew the Codigo del Tarajo, the labor laws and the sort of ins and outs where I just didn't have the time, the ability or just the patience to sit there and learn five years worth of human resources laws. And so I needed to have that faith to extend in order for me to grow. But I mostly did it internally, Alejandra. So these individuals that have shown fidelity and their stripes and can take the good and the bad with me, I would much prefer to have them in more sensitive positions than have somebody that could come in that may be a cancer, has bad habits, starts yelling at my people.

But I tell you what, in order for me to grow, I needed to hire local specialists like an IT director. I needed attorneys, accountants, human resources director, individuals that knew the Codigo del Tarajo, the labor laws and the sort of ins and outs where I just didn't have the time, the ability or just the patience to sit there and learn five years worth of human resources laws. And so I needed to have that faith to extend in order for me to grow. But I mostly did it internally, Alejandra. So these individuals that have shown fidelity and their stripes and can take the good and the bad with me, I would much prefer to have them in more sensitive positions than have somebody that could come in that may be a cancer, has bad habits, starts yelling at my people. Listen, calm down, Billy. And might just not be a good pick.

Do you connect with a potential client on a human level? Or do you have a process? Well I had the honor to interview Richard Blank CEO of Costa Rica’s Call Center A state of the art BPO telemarketing outsource company Many times we forget to really listen to what our clients are needing from us, or we disregard our values as a business once the company grows, but in the end, our clients and customers should always receive the best version of the team in any situation. Coming of Age Moments in Recruitment But somehow crack that code for that rainy Wednesday or that time they needed the picking up. Oh, I have a seat. So when people are filling out our resumes and our forms to get hired, I ask them to turn the piece of paper over so you can give me a couple of paragraphs on the coming of age moment. Coming of age? And I go, of course, the time that you beat up a bully, you saved a kitten, or you did it both in one day. Yeah. It's like an 80s movie. You ride off in the sunset with your girlfriend and you beat up the bully. Yeah. I will see what they write. Effective Conflict Management: Handling Anger and Cursing What about conflict management, Alejandra? That too. That's a good point. Okay, so someone's coming at you, guns a blazing, frustrated, the whole shebang, right? Making a scene, cursing. Cursing? Yelling at you. Yeah. Okay, so what do we do? They're cursing at you, right? Let them keep going. As long as they're not cursing at you, they get one warning. If not, then you kill the call. But if they're just cursing out loud, Then they go, Richard, I'm really sorry for cursing. I go, Alejandra, are you done yet? You want to curse a little more? No, I'm okay, Richard. Are you sure? I'm sure. May we move forward? Yes. Thank you. You can let someone cry themselves to sleep or realize the faults in their actions by not interrupting or lecturing. They will then say, but don't say it's okay. No, no, no, no. It's okay. You just were cursing for 10 minutes and wasting my time. Alejandro, are you done yet? The Priceless Moments with Pets When people toast, what happens when you see the, and my favorite, I know when it's humans that do it, but when you see people come back from the military and their dogs or pets. Oh yes. I love those videos. You don't cry. You're not human. And so you tell me there's nothing in the world more important than that moment. So how do you put prices on even money? No, no, no. They give it all away to hug their puppy one more time. Money vs. Self-Respect: A Timeless Question What happens when you have all the dough? And then you look at yourself in the mirror. Can you respect yourself? Is it worth it? So you realize anybody can get the money. Not everybody has self-respect and dignity. Correct. And when you say, well, Richard, what has changed throughout the centuries and millennials? Well, sure, fashion, technology, architecture, but a smile and a hug and a handshake and exchanging food hasn't changed since the beginning of time. https://youtu.be/qf3cUzsCBZs https://youtube.com/shorts/0ZwPBpRQRjg https://youtube.com/shorts/YvXblaU9ylM https://youtube.com/shorts/Ho2_BAm-YkE https://youtube.com/shorts/QCEhUm7LQkc Richard Blank has the largest collection of restored American Pinball machines and antique Rockola Jukeboxes in Central America making gamification a strong part of CCC culture.Richard Blank is the Chief Executive Officer for Costa Rica’s Call Center since 2008.

Do you remember The Face Man, Templeton Peck, played by the great actor Dirk Benedict? Yes. Well, good. Your audience should study him because he was smooth before technology. There was also a show in the 80s called Remington Steel with Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist. Now, if you want to study exceptional rhetoric and delivery, watch that. In fact, I dress like him Timeless Gestures of Connection And when you say, well, Richard, what has changed throughout the centuries and millennials? Well, sure, fashion, technology, architecture, but a smile and a hug and a handshake and exchanging food hasn't changed since the beginning of time. And so... I believe if those are the gestures that last throughout the years, and those are the ones I'm going to be focusing on first. The Value of Local Partnerships in Business I'm not on a home court advantage. So let's be realistic. I am a guest here and I do not look Tico. So they might be charging me 20% more or making it more difficult for me. So I needed an ace man. I needed a sidekick, a local that can get me not just the discounts, but the flexibility and convenience, but also represent me on the streets. But I tell you what, in order for me to grow, I needed to hire local specialists like an IT director. I needed attorneys, accountants, human resources director, individuals that knew the Codigo del Tarajo, the labor laws and the sort of ins and outs where I just didn't have the time, the ability or just the patience to sit there and learn five years worth of human resources laws. And so I needed to have that faith to extend in order for me to grow. But I mostly did it internally, Alejandra. So these individuals that have shown fidelity and their stripes and can take the good and the bad with me, I would much prefer to have them in more sensitive positions than have somebody that could come in that may be a cancer, has bad habits, starts yelling at my people. Listen, calm down, Billy. And might just not be a good pick.

Well I had the honor to interview Richard Blank CEO of Costa Rica’s Call Center A state of the art BPO telemarketing outsource company Many times we forget to really listen to what our clients are needing from us, or we disregard our values as a business once the company grows, but in the end, our clients and customers should always receive the best version of the team in any situation. Coming of Age Moments in Recruitment But somehow crack that code for that rainy Wednesday or that time they needed the picking up. Oh, I have a seat. So when people are filling out our resumes and our forms to get hired, I ask them to turn the piece of paper over so you can give me a couple of paragraphs on the coming of age moment. Coming of age? And I go, of course, the time that you beat up a bully, you saved a kitten, or you did it both in one day. Yeah. It's like an 80s movie. You ride off in the sunset with your girlfriend and you beat up the bully. Yeah. I will see what they write. Effective Conflict Management: Handling Anger and Cursing What about conflict management, Alejandra? That too. That's a good point.

They give it all away to hug their puppy one more time. Money vs. Self-Respect: A Timeless Question What happens when you have all the dough? And then you look at yourself in the mirror. Can you respect yourself? Is it worth it? So you realize anybody can get the money. Not everybody has self-respect and dignity. Correct. And when you say, well, Richard, what has changed throughout the centuries and millennials?

And so I said to myself, is this a special sauce or did I just have a foresight to do this? But I tell you what, when I meet other business owners here in Costa Rica that have done a lot of very good things while we're having dinner and we're talking and sharing the trade, I say, yeah, How's your Spanish? They're like, un poquito. I'm like, nice poquito. Pop Culture Study: Mastering Communication from Classic TV Characters The A-Team? Yes. Yes. Do you remember The Face Man, Templeton Peck, played by the great actor Dirk Benedict? Yes. Well, good. Your audience should study him because he was smooth before technology. There was also a show in the 80s called Remington Steel with Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist. Now, if you want to study exceptional rhetoric and delivery, watch that. In fact, I dress like him Timeless Gestures of Connection And when you say, well, Richard, what has changed throughout the centuries and millennials? Well, sure, fashion, technology, architecture, but a smile and a hug and a handshake and exchanging food hasn't changed since the beginning of time. And so... I believe if those are the gestures that last throughout the years, and those are the ones I'm going to be focusing on first. The Value of Local Partnerships in Business I'm not on a home court advantage. So let's be realistic. I am a guest here and I do not look Tico. So they might be charging me 20% more or making it more difficult for me. So I needed an ace man. I needed a sidekick, a local that can get me not just the discounts, but the flexibility and convenience, but also represent me on the streets. But I tell you what, in order for me to grow, I needed to hire local specialists like an IT director. I needed attorneys, accountants, human resources director, individuals that knew the Codigo del Tarajo, the labor laws and the sort of ins and outs where I just didn't have the time, the ability or just the patience to sit there and learn five years worth of human resources laws. And so I needed to have that faith to extend in order for me to grow. But I mostly did it internally, Alejandra. So these individuals that have shown fidelity and their stripes and can take the good and the bad with me, I would much prefer to have them in more sensitive positions than have somebody that could come in that may be a cancer, has bad habits, starts yelling at my people. Listen, calm down, Billy. And might just not be a good pick.

Coming of Age Moments in Recruitment But somehow crack that code for that rainy Wednesday or that time they needed the picking up. Oh, I have a seat. So when people are filling out our resumes and our forms to get hired, I ask them to turn the piece of paper over so you can give me a couple of paragraphs on the coming of age moment. Coming of age? And I go, of course, the time that you beat up a bully, you saved a kitten, or you did it both in one day. Yeah. It's like an 80s movie.

They give it all away to hug their puppy one more time. Money vs. Self-Respect: A Timeless Question What happens when you have all the dough? And then you look at yourself in the mirror. Can you respect yourself? Is it worth it? So you realize anybody can get the money. Not everybody has self-respect and dignity. Correct.

And so I needed to have that faith to extend in order for me to grow. But I mostly did it internally, Alejandra. So these individuals that have shown fidelity and their stripes and can take the good and the bad with me, I would much prefer to have them in more sensitive positions than have somebody that could come in that may be a cancer, has bad habits, starts yelling at my people.

A smooth transition when becoming an expat in Costa Rica. Positive Talk Radio guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center. Obviously because your, your company's growing, but you see, but even if your company wasn't growing, you're doing things the right way. You're doing things the way I think that they should be done because. I believe that we are all one, that we are all connected, that we are all the same, regardless, whether you're the CEO or the dishwasher or the general manager or the cook. Um, you've all got a different job, but you we're all human beings. And we all have the same wants and needs and desires. And we all wanna be fed. We all want to have a house. We all want to have a beautiful wife, unless it's a beautiful husband. And, and, uh, and, and all of that. So, you know, but that's, that's, we're really simple people. Yes. Um, when, when, and it doesn't take a lot to make us happy. No, it really doesn't. And, and I also follow all the Costa Rican labor laws here. I, I am a guest in this country and I wanna make sure that we do things correctly and that everyone gets their full salary and benefits. And as I mentioned before, my main goal is to feed families. And so. Once again, by being embraced here, learning their language, learning the culture, learning the traditions, it made this sort of transition for being an expat. The last two decades, very easy. And I could recommend it to anybody, my main suggestion before going abroad. And, and this is very interesting that a lot of things that you and I hold dear in the United States and people hold to such high esteem really don't make a difference when you leave the country. And so a lot of the stuff that might make you important back home doesn't work here. And what I realized quickly is that people will really judge you by your essence, really who you are. And so when I was able to show that I learned their language and I understand their culture and that I do respect the fact that I'm a guest, once again, this positive reinforcement was just an abundance where I realized that was at the right place.

The company game room pinball machines are older than the young telemarketing agents. Positive Talk Radio guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center I, I couldn't agree more. I am just thoroughly enjoying this conversation. Me too. Uh, good time. you? You're you're, you're an amazing guy and you're also a fun loving guy, uh, because you've got one of the largest, uh, if not the largest, um, jukebox and, um, pinball collections in all of central. Forget my business. That's what I'm proud of. People say you could go back and talk to your 14 year old self and tell 'em what you do. I'd be you got pinball machines. , you'd be the first question I'd ask myself. Yes, yes, yes I do. And it's, it's an obsession of mine and people have no idea. The treasures that they have that are in their bodegas. And so all the time I will be driving a couple hours. To kick a tire or two on an old jukebox or an old retro arcade machine, or especially a pinball machine. And for a couple hundred hours, I'm driving back in 1961, Racola Regis that's in mint condition. And so one man's trash is another man's treasure. And if that's the way it is, call me Oscar, the grouch I'll take as much charge as you got. And as long as I have the space for it and my wife doesn't get angry, I'll be grabbing as many machines as I can. I, I currently have 13 pinballs. Six jukeboxes, five retro machines and an air hockey table. And as I mentioned before, these machines are older than the agents. I have an area coming where people can, it's a neutral environment where people can meet others from other campaigns. They can let off steam, they can recharge their batteries. I haven't seen people fall in love by the Backman machine and it, and it gives somebody the chance to hang out with the Hefe in a neutral environment where we're just having. Fun. And so when people are best friends and you mentioned this earlier, attrition goes down, people want to come to work. And I really believe that a gamification company culture is imperative. Not Xbox, not, not placing. You can do that at home. Do like you, did you, before this podcast, you told me that you bought the thing. You always wanted an old retro machine with the main ator and 3000 games. And we're talking about how much fun we're having you deserve. I think that if an environment creates a game environment where people can play, they will become that much closer. And so I, I really, really stand behind that and play with each other. And, and there one is shooting, uh, the pinball or the others are watching and, and everybody's laughing and you're having a Coke or whatever it is. I got enough games where everyone can play. No, one's waiting. unless they want to and put their quarter on the Marqui. Oh, no, no, no. Everyone's. And, and so how much space now the games are actually at the facility, is that right? Yes. I got some in my own home where I have a private man cave, but the majority of my machines are here on the first floor. It's kind of funny. I got my air hockey table. That's in my training room. It's so loud that I had to take the plastic pucks and they got these now more of like a rubber sort of puck. And with the Wildcat 1 25, you can create these really smooth surfaces. And so literally I had to put the air Hawk in there, cuz it is so loud. People are screaming. So when there's not classes, doors are shut. You see people sitting in the chairs, watching that, that that's really where our tournaments happen. And it's, uh, it's amazing because the littlest, smallest Asian we have has got the greatest skills until we stop those shots. And so, um, I love it. It's fun and people stay later after their shift or they'll come a little bit earlier to just hang out. And, um, obviously we're doing something right.

You could become a public speaker and be filthy rich. Positive Talk Radio guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center Are you doing any public speaking and doing this? Do you have any idea how much, how much in demand you would be across this country? If you were to, uh, put together a, a, a program and to become a public speaker, you could be filthy rich. Thank you. My friend, I have no seminar. I don't have a book. The fact that you even mentioned my company. Thank you very much. I'm doing this today. Just to share idea. We're good friends. I'm adding wind in your sales as your mine. And if I ever did decide to do that, would it be lucrative short would, but I'm always concerned about the artists that's commissioned compared to painting on their own. When you are paid to do something, it, you might lose a little bit of what got you to where you wanted to be in the first place. That so I'll definitely listen to all offers, but today, once again, I'm not selling. All I want to do is share these ideas and give you my best. And as long as I can keep this sort of frame of mind, this natural, raw, pure Richard, then I, I think you'll be getting the best performances out of me.

What motivated you to get into the nearshore call center business? Positive Talk Radio guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center It's because she, I have to ask. What motivated you to get into this business and to, and to really study it the way that you have so that you could pay it forward and impart your employees with some real success strategies, as well as your customers and your clients. They receive results because of the style with which you make the calls and the style with which you do. So what motivat, what, what, what makes you different than everybody else that I've met? Well, the first thing is I wanted to find a job, so I didn't have to move back to the states. I live in paradise. I was gonna, I was almost gonna paint shells on the beach if I had to, but do they have snakes there? excuse me. Do they have snakes there? Uh, they most certainly do. Oh, then I can't go. I'm sorry. I would wear big rubber boots if you're treking out into the rain forest, but, uh, nah, I think most places you'll be safe, but you know, where I really saw it is once again, for those four years in my late twenties, when I was sitting with the Costa Rican Ticos at the call center, as much as I was amazed by their bilingual abilities. Conversations and positive escalations. I saw the tough side of the job I really did. And I needed to once again, find a way to make it efficient, but not to have them burned out and to keep their dignity. And so I really took it from the area of the language aspect. I really do encourage them to study the, the source. So instead of using words like help, they can use guide, assist and lend to hand instead of telling somebody, excuse me, could you repeat that for my clarification? For my edification, Kevin, was it 1, 2, 3, or ABC? I teach 'em the fall on certain swords on a call. And so once again, if I can assist them in teaching them what the north American market is. What our genres are certain vocabulary, certain styles. And I mean, if they wanna learn bad words, I'll teach 'em bad words, but that doesn't help anybody. I, I want them to be prepared so they could walk into a board room. Improperly represent themselves in their company, and that's been my goal. And through these years I've seen some incredible people and, and you're gonna love this. The most I'll hire people with experience. They come in, they're hot. Sometimes they could be cancers. It depends on the person. I like the person more. That's got no experience at a call center. I mean, they're brilliant college educated bilingual, the whole shit bank. They just don't know what a phone system is or a headset who cares. I can teach that an hour, but I love the fact that I could mold somebody and I can show them certain skills. And as long as they're coachable and they show up on time pen, the ready I am the first. To put, win in their sales and find as many ways as I can to promote them. And I'll delegate, even though they're not a supervisor, I'll let them write a script. I'll let them do a training class. They can pull their hall of fame, call out and talk about it with 15 people. Why not to practice their public speaking, you know? And, and I always love making suggestions cuz no one makes a perfect phone call. So I don't think you're getting away with it. I will definitely find something to make a suggestion on. And these are just building their own self reli. And self confidence. And I love seeing that with the people that work here with me. .

Telemarketers are literally able to have almost a full hour's worth of talk time. Positive Talk Radio guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center and that will buy you success at the same time. That's true because, because the more that you build a relationship with somebody and, and, and treat them like a, a real person, the, the one I always hate is when I get a, um, um, telemarketing call. And the first thing that happens is I pick up the. There's a delay. Now I realize that that delay is because it's an automated, uh, dialing, right? That's correct. Predictive dialer. Mm-hmm yes. And so they wait until you pick up and say hello before it actually connects to a human being. Am I correct? In that? It can be, there could be some latency. I'd have to really look into that through the it department, but sometimes it's seamless where you can't tell. And it's an immediate, but, um, no, and, and really that predicted dialer is amazing because it really gives you all of the information about the person with whom you're calling. And at the end, you get to do a disposition report so quickly, you can just do a drop down and explain what happened on the call. And so what happens there is that these agents are literally able to have almost a full hour's worth of talk time, minus any sort of wrap up or CRM time. But, um, you know, that's something regarding the center. I don't know. A lot of the times they'd like to do these voicemail drops and then you would have to opt in that you're interested to speak with somebody legally to talk to them. That could be a pain as well. And you know, I, I have somewhat empathy towards these agents making these calls. It depends, you know, a lot of times they'll tell me that. Car warranty is expiring, but guess what? Champ? I haven't lived in the United States for 22 years. So obviously I don't have a car warranty expiring. So that upsets me a little bit. But if I get somebody on the phone and it's something I may qualify for, like telecom, for an example, and I compare rates, I'll listen to them pitch and with their permission. I'm gonna ask to do a QC on them. A quality control. We do 22 KPIs, which are key performance indicators, and we can gauge a call through the questioning and the answering. But I usually look more for soft skills when they do name draws, positive, escalations, military, alphabet, rebuttals, and things like that. And so when I'll speak with somebody, I'll, you know, let them qualify me, send me info and maybe set up an appointment, but I'll ask them if they have a couple. I'd like to give them some professional feedback, and I'm not saying your tone was this or tone was that I will literally restructure their arguments and explain to them open ended to close ended questions and certain sort of vocabulary that I think will be more diplomatic and change the tone a little bit. And I know that they're listening because they will repeat back to me or even ask me, follow up questions on some of these skills. And thank me for that. And even send me a personal email to thank me for that. Now, what am I doing this for? I'm paying it forward because there are a lot of times I was having weird days and someone would just take my call to warm me up and say, go Richard, go. Even though I'm not gonna buy from you, but I like you, but I think you're great. And hang in there and I know what that's like. And I will sometimes reset them and ask them to re, could you please repeat that sentence for me again? You went too fast. I couldn't hear you. Was it 1, 2, 3, or ABC? And so I'm telling them to relax and calm down because you sound great. I just can't understand you. And once they do, and once they give a perfect pitch, then I'm proud of them. And that's just, as I mentioned before, just paying it forward.

In 30 seconds you can build a relationship on the phone. Positive Talk Radio guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center Oh, exactly. Well at the, at the, at its core. Sure. This is all about relationships has to be, and it is amazing to me. How, in 30 seconds you can build a relationship or begin a relationship with somebody to keep them on the phone. Cuz that, that, how do you teach them? How do you teach your, your, your folks? To start building that relationship right away. That is why you have the best podcast. You literally are asking me some of my really is this underhand whiffle ball pitches. You're just giving me the best questions I'll give you. I'll give you a wonderful technique that I do. I call it the company name, spike. This is your first. Not even 30 seconds. It could be the first three seconds of a call. Let me give you an example. You have positive talk radio, right? And I'm calling your company and somebody answers the phone. They're like, hello, it's Kathy positive talk radio. I'm not gonna ask Kathy Al she's doing or even to speak to you yet. I'm going to utilize anonymity just for my opening, not the whole call cause that's shady, but I will say, Hey, how's positive, tall radio. Doing. So, what I'm doing is I'm saying the name of your company better than your person did and they're gonna realize that I could be a mystery shopper, your best friend or your best client. So obviously they're gonna answer me. We're doing great. And that's usually when they ask my first buffer boomerang question, who are you? I'm gonna go, Kathy. That's an excellent question. My name is Richard blank, and then we're gonna have a nice conversation. I'm gonna let them know that I'm gonna give them a positive. When I do get transferred to speak with you, we spoke about that earlier. And so all I'm doing is using my first couple seconds to say something that you are familiar with. I said it better than you cuz you know, I'm gonna say it better than you. And I'm going to use this anonymity cuz most of the time when they start asking how Kathy is doing or being able to speak to you directly, usually they say we're good, thanks. Or no thank you. Or what he is selling. I'm not doing any of that. I'm immediately showing good faith and I'm taking it from certain percentages of a half point shot to not even a three point shot. Now it's like foul shot percentages. I'm not guaranteeing you a hundred percent, but what I can do is increase your percentages of prolonging a conversation because no one's going to ever give you 10 minutes. Gavin, you know this? No, you're lucky if you get 30 seconds. So my opinion is to keep buying. And if you're capable of doing that by some due diligence, if you mention pinball machines on my phone call calling me, unless I got something to do, it's really yours to lose. I will literally give you five minutes to pitch me because it showed that you took a couple extra seconds like you did prior to this podcast. You're telling me all this stuff you researched about me. I can't thank you enough. That's the sort of thing as a CEO of a company that will give you the pass to pitch, and I will let you do it because you just showed that extra effort, do that in an email template, do that in a voicemail that you're leaving, just make it custom made. And if you just take that one extra thing that, you know, the company loves so much, it may buy you time.
