Garry Gary Beers INXS bassist performance video. "Shine Like The Sun" rock song by Igni Ferroque.
A podcast interview combined with the strong curiosity of a proud member of my favorite band INXS brought me to ggbbasses.com. After carefully navigating the site, one section offered to “HIRE GARRY!” on a track. Naturally, I was very interested in all of the additional options associated with the bass session. As luck would have it, my company produced a song, "Shine like the sun" performed by the Costa Rican guitarist Igni Ferroque. Filling out a form to contact Garry Gary Beers was an unbelievable surreal request that was cool in and of itself.
https://youtu.be/ieGjN5H4xPQ
To my astonishment, Mr. Beers personally followed up with an email the next day. Along with the courtesy of proper introductions, we mutually confirmed my intention to purchase the full bass session package. Caught in the moment, I insisted on a good faith deposit for his time and close the deal. Mr. Beers had naturally shaped the pace of doing business in a relaxed way. "By all means send me the tracks. I’ll have a good listen and let you know my thoughts on moving forward. That work for you?" It did work as a potential new client and placed me in a good frame of mind from the start.
Fortunately, Mr. Beers had informed me of the positive news about the song making the cut. "Hey Richard, the music is great! Looking forward to having a play on it". He offered many secure payment options along with the value placed on all four elements. The expenditure was more than justified and deemed a gift when considering his talents and achievements. Mr. Beers never pressed for any money nor attempted a hard sell. He is a nice man that loves music, period.
In a trustworthy spirit, Mr. Beers offered me the convenience of sending a comfortable amount of money to start the project. The value of the arrangement was so good that I immediately choose to commit 100%. We sent a full deposit, sat back and prepared to enjoy the ride. As the secure funds entered the GGB business account, Mr. Beers had already taken the liberty to record the bass tracks and was at the ready to send the audio files. He added a sincere compliment as well, "Music is excellent by the way- really reminds me of Rainbow- one of my fav bands."
Mr. Beers walked me through the easy process of combining his work with the initial recording for the finished product. The steps were simple, “2 tracks of bass version 1 – DI and Amp.2 tracks of bass version 2 – DI and Amp- Both of these takes have a click at the top to verify it syncing to your track. They are recorded to the tracks you sent with the click intro so they should sync perfectly." Mr. Beers added an additional spark, “I’m also sending synth tracks to accompany the bass tracks- Intro only. I have included a mix track and the individual synth tracks." The music had a studio quality sound and GGB grooves. It rocked along with the enjoyment of plug and play. A video of Mr. Beers playing on the track was coming up next and the apex of my unique musical journey.
Like clockwork, Mr. Beers enthusiastically contacted me about the video and the confident reaction to his bass session. "Glad to hear it" He wrote. "I enjoyed playing the tracks… Let me know which bass track versions 1 or 2 you used with the intro and the track so I can send a matching performance video.” Handing over Mr. Beers all creative control was logical and showed a true respect for his craft. The consideration by Mr. Beers to collaborate on a decision was unforeseen and very appealing. How do you choose one groove when both versions are slick? I decided to mix and match the funk from the tracks provided. Mr. Beers had agreed and gave the feeling of excitement by his response, "That would have been my choice. The Intro bass with the fuzz and Wah is a trip!"
The performance videos sent by Mr. Beers had simple instructions: "Hey Richard, here's 2 videos- the Intro -take 2 with fuzz and Wah - and the song - take 1 with pick. The intro track has a click count in so it should be easy to sync." He added, "The main track video has the guitar intro so you can sync to that. Hope this works for you." The final production was amazing and combined perfectly. In addition, Mr. Beers mentioned the project on his personal Facebook Page, “Last night I finished bass tracks for an amazing Costa Rican heavy rock artist- really great stuff and a lot of fun for me to play on.”
Everyone noticed that Mr. Beers showed an authentic enjoyment as he adjusted his amp and started jamming in an Aussie themed studio. Apart from the brilliant music created, a heartfelt chest tap happened as he finished the song and the video ended. The final act of my personal experience working with Garry Gary Beers was a strong transfer of positive electromagnetic energy that was widely felt and well received. Thank you Mr. Beers for the luxury.
I highly recommend Mr. Garry Gary Beers. The working relationship was easy and stress free. My firsthand knowledge involved the attention to detail, clarity to avoid miscommunication and the generosity of his sincere efforts. Experiencing a comfortable first time business deal was a pleasure. The financial investment in working with Mr. Beers was worth the extemporaneous chance to meet a multi-platinum bass guitarist. Most importantly, the bonus of sharing his music and imagination with fans.
In conclusion, I am a very satisfied customer of Mr. Garry Gary Beers and admire his ingenuity on this special project.

It encourages listeners to embrace challenges head-on and to strive for success, no matter the obstacles they may face.

Shine like the sun lyrics:
Have you every thought of leaving home?
How far would you go to find you space?
Are you willing to start all alone?
Without letting your mind scatter...Out of place
Working hard everyday dawn to dawn
Hitting the phone to reach the goal
Fitting in your spot in paradise
Never take your eye off the prize
YOU BETTER SHINE LIKE THE SUN
YOU BETTER DO THINGS RIGHT
IT'S A GAME OF WIN OR GO BACK HOME
BUT YOU'RE A WINNER, YOU TAKE IT ALL
No matter how strong you feel you are
No time for breaks until you're all done
With all your goals there is always stress
And everybody needs to rest
And yet there is no dream that comes alone
Once you feel great, you feel at home
You find the beauty of a smiling face
You find the love, you find the GRACE
YOU BETTER SHINE LIKE THE SUN
YOU BETTER DO THINGS RIGHT
IT'S A GAME OF WIN OR GO BACK HOME
BUT YOU'RE A WINNER, YOU TAKE IT ALL

Igni Ferroque is a Costa Rican rock group that was born at the end of 1978. Igni Ferroque, which from Latin means iron and fire, performed its first concert in the Colegio La Salle auditorium on September 15, 1978.Roberto "Ferroque" Ruiz all the weight of the direction of the group and it was then that all the musical work and the creative genius of Roberto Ruiz rose that this legendary Costa Rican band has not left to this day and marked the beginning of a process of musical growth and development of relevance inside and outside of Costa Rica.
Throughout its long history, full of ups and downs, the group visited Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Ecuador between 1986 and 1992, bringing to all those forums the Original Rock that has always characterized them. Based on the anti-arms and pro-environmental theme, its lyrics are clear: "If rock is a means of mass communication, the message must be clear and positive," Roberto Ruiz told Rodrigo Farías Bárcenas, a Mexican journalist, in an extensive interview given to Diario Uno más Uno in 1986; that phrase defines the idiosyncrasy of Igni Ferroque.
His hits include "Si Quieres Paz" (1990), "Dance in the Swamp of the Dead" (Inspired by a passage from the Lord of the Rings, 1986), "San Lucas" (1982), "Silences" (1980) , "Homeland" (1980) and "La radio" (1979). Their music has been described as jazz-rock with influences from heavy, blues, reggae, and classical, quite progressive for Costa Rican standards. Currently, the group is sounding "better than ever" as confirmed by the excellent musician Calilo Pardo, director of the Academy of Modern Music. They have shared the stage with groups such as El Tri, Alux Nahual, Botellita de Jerez, Kenny y los Eléctricos, Depeche Mode. They also shared in the biggest party in the history of Rock in Costa Rica during "Human Rights Now" in 1987 alongside Bruce Springteen, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Yossu Nandour and Tracy Chapman.

We talk about losing 80% of your business in a matter of weeks, head trash that keeps you stuck playing small, and everything in between. If you’ve ever worried that you're the only one struggling, that everyone else “gets it” and you’re missing something (or messing things up)... this show’s for you. Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe to the Permission to Kick Ass podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you stream your podcasts.

My guest today, Richard Blank had a vision from an early age — to do work that would fulfill his needs vs society’s expectations. With that as his guiding compass, his path led him to Costa Rica where he eventually became the CEO of a call center. But Richard’s vision goes far beyond him… what I love about his business is how much intention he puts into paying it forward. Listen now for some major inspiration!
Richard wasn’t willing to compromise his dreams of creating a life he loved. He brings that same passion and dedication to his business, day in and day out. To find someone so true to their ethics in business is rare and refreshing. This episode is jam-packed full of perspective shifting insight to running a people-first business. If you’re looking to strengthen the relationships within your biz (hint: you absolutely should be, if you’re not already!) this one’s for you.
Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode:
Ever looked at someone else’s life and thought “I wish I could do that?” Great news: YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN! I lovingly request you take notes as Richard and I break down what it takes to live a life where you stay true to yourself.
The surprising thing you can give to anyone, anywhere, in any situation that will immediately de-escalate tensions and build a ton of loyalty and goodwill. This is how Richard cracked the code on scaling his business and getting people to LOVE working with him.

Life, Passion & Business podcast. How to explore your calling in Costa Rica with Richard Blank.
Exploring the creativity of the human spirit with just five simple questions. Those questions give us a window to explore the journey and life story of people that look like they have it sorted.
Explore your calling, are you on a life path that feeds your soul?
Richard Blank is a native of Philadelphia born to a family with more than the average means and there was a plan. He was on a path to an Ivy League education to study medicine or law.
But even at that age, he knew it was important to be inspired in his chosen career. Neither of these was his calling. He convinced his parents to let him take a different path. He went to the University of Arizona, earning a bachelor’s degree in communication and Spanish.
For his junior year at the age of 21, he took a semester at a university in Madrid. It was about absorbing the language and the Spanish way of life. While he did enjoy the party scene. He also took the opportunity to travel on trains and stay in youth hostels. He explored the art and culture of Europe.
On returning to the US he took an internship with a Spanish TV station. And for a while and another job working with an importer of Corona Beer.
He used his bilingual ability and communication skills to create opportunities for himself and built a career in telemarketer training.
The Big Break
The life-changing break came when he was 27 years old. He relocated to Costa Rica to train employees for one of the larger call centres in San Jose.
In his mid-30s he started his own call centre. It began with one seat in a communal office, and it was slow and steady journey.
Today he owns a building and directly employs 150 people. Over the last 10-plus years, he has trained over 10,000 bilingual telemarketers. His hobby is collecting vintage pinball machines.
Explore your calling
What is so interesting about this interview, is that Richard has nothing to sell. He reached out to me because he was inspired by the work that we do. And the stories that we share at life passion and business. It is about the our calling and why we are here.
Our conversation is not about telemarketing. It is about Richard’s life and the philosophy that has helped him move to a new country and build a successful business. It gives him the opportunity to give back to his adopted community.
He believes everyone has a calling. For him, it was to major in Spanish and explore the culture, and look where that got him. I hope this inspires you to explore your calling.

Who has the sort of vigor to really put their hat in the ring? Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
My base foundation would be play , empathy, and just showing that sort of respected people because, um, it's done well for me. I have a very nice reputation here and I am a guest in this country. And so the fact that I was embraced, I was able to build a business in a very competitive industry, got my blessings every day, this should have never happened.
And so it really puts things in perspective on being bold. And fortune does favor the brave. And from time to time, my friend, there may be naysayers and gray believers out there, and it's only because they love you, but you have this sort of thing in your heart, then by all means, you should drink life and you should go for it.
And I really respect people that are responsible financially and with their family, but have this sort of vigor to really put their hat in the ring. Or as John Wayne said, die with your boots on. And, and I love seeing people like that because you know, they're living the most fulfilled life.

“I love to allow people to feel more comfortable with me, to become more engaged in a conversation. This is not a lecture, and I’m not just checking off boxes and interrogating you. It’s a conversation. And it’s I mean, I don’t learn anything new when I speak. I love hearing what other people have to say to see what I have in common.”
This is Richard Blank’s story…
My name is Richard Blank and I’m the CEO of Costa Rica’s Call Center. I’m skilled in reading phonetic micro expressions and use this to my advantage when speaking with people, especially over the phone.
I’ve found that by using someone’s name, asking how their company is doing, and sharing interesting facts about myself, I’m able to build rapport and influence the person I’m speaking with. This has been beneficial in both my personal and professional life.
In this episode, you will discover:
Phonetics is the purest form of communication, the sound of speech, not the semantics or even the tone.
The tone of voice should always be positive and empathetic.
0 seconds to 2 minutes is the best time to gauge a person.
How to gauge someone. They discuss some of the techniques they use to do it.
Richard believes in open-ended questions and specific name drops.
He also believes in the art of speech and meeting minutes to avoid conflict.
Richard’s advice to people is to be authentic.
When he was in his 20s, he tried to change his personality for a job interview, but he realised it was not going to work for him. Now he allows people to grow naturally.
He believes that people that feel seen, they feel heard, and they feel like they matter through the way that they communicate with others.

How INXS can be used to close a deal on an Australian sales call. Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Richard Blank: I got through.
Christina Canters: Can I? Okay. So can I summarize what I believe you did there? Yes, ma'am. So firstly, you said you asked how the company was going and you said the C method named with so much joy and excitement that I got excited just hearing you know, what my company was up to. So that was one thing. Yeah.
The second thing you used Aaron's name, you said, hi Aaron, how are you doing? You know, how are you doing? Which I believe builds that rapport. Cause people also love hearing their own names. Yes. You also mentioned a couple of interesting facts about yourself that I wouldn't have expected on an initial call.
Exactly. So you said you've got a pinball collection and that INXS is your favorite band. Why do you do that? And is that random and weird?
Richard Blank: No, because I'm extremely proud of INXS and everybody in the world should listen to them. Um, Because if not, I'm gonna sound like everybody else and you're gonna hang up one and it's gonna put a bad taste in your mouth.
And yes, you don't need my pinball machines, and I'm sure you love INXS, but what's that have to do with the C method? It's got a lot to do with the C method. Everything's got to do with everything.

What's one final tip you could give to a leader or a manager? Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Love it.
Christina Canters: Um, Richard, I, I know that we're, we are running out of time somewhat, which, and I know you said at the start of this conversation, we could talk all day, but we actually don't have all day. I know. , we don't have all night. I know it's nighttime where you are. Um, Couple fi. Final last question. Final two questions, Richard.
Sure. What's one final tip you could give to a leader or a manager? Someone who has a team who would like to, you know, do more of what you've just talked about, you know, have, have that, that great camaraderie and have the trust and respect of their team and have, have their team just love being at work.
What, what final tip would you have for.
Richard Blank: These amazing individuals that rose to those possession positions, they earned it, but they also can't forget where they came from. So people need me time. They need to walk away. I I, I'm not sure of your outside activities, but I myself, I, I like working out in the gym.
I wash my convertible on Sundays. We did speak about pinball marathons, and these are the sort of Richard Times where I put my phone away, I can decompress. I'm not really into Eastern meditation, but I have my other areas in which I can tap into my consciousness, and so it will allow me to, and we mentioned this earlier about luxury of time.
If people are running groups and they can think about things, they might have overextended themselves in one meeting, they might have not said enough. Or maybe what they should do, once again, is to allow every individual. To give every single opinion out there and collectively through synergy, you can bring that group together.
And so your ego is fine and you don't want people to fear you, and you'll get the job done and your employees have the leverage. They can always quit. So I don't think cursing, yelling, and screaming does any. But I, I do believe that these individuals that work with you have families and children, and as long as you take that into consideration and you give them the benefit of the doubt, and I've even told agents to log off, go to the bathroom, throw some water in your face, and get back on that phones where somebody might need the unofficial timeout because they're having a moment.
And so you, you have to do that. If you think people are robots, they will leave. You don't need to go out drinking with them. That's their private time. And some people don't even like to drink and don't think pizza parties solve things either. It's gotta be the time that they don't expect the flowers.
And sometimes they even claim that the greatest gifts are not store bought cards, but the ones that you personally write. And how, how about this? I'm not gonna say, Christina, you're doing a great job. You're my favorite. High five. You now, last Tuesday when you got on the phone with Mrs. Jones, I had listened to that 33 minute conversation.
Wow. I cannot believe you confirmed her email. Four. Dog was barking in the background. You put the dog away, you asked about the dog. Everyone's laughing. The client loved you, and then you're saying to yourself, my God, you actually listened to me for 33 minutes. And I'd say, Christina, of course I did, because if you were in my shoes, you would've done the same.
And so when you look at me, you go, you know, I'm not going anywhere. This guy's great. Forget the pizza party. This guy actually listened to me for 33 minutes and really picked apart my call. So your your amazing end Dear Supervisors and managers, show some authenticity. Just don't say good job champ and call 'em Chief and Ace.
Really let 'em know. Really let 'em know what they did and try to assist them in every way that you have to get them to different levels. And if you feel insecure that they're gonna take your job and your position, then you're not doing a good enough job. All is fair in love and. If you earned it, somebody else could too.
And so just be the best you can be and try to bring other people up because who's to say that you're not gonna get promoted? And then these people are gonna work with you. And so, um, don't be selfish. Everybody deserves their chance. And if you're number one, then you get that position. If that. And look how hard you and I work.
You make it look easy. This sea method. Look at this. They should only know what you're doing behind the scenes. . And so I, I think if people are willing to take that sort of responsibility and the golden ring could be theirs,
Christina Canters: love it. Love those final words. Richard. Um, look, I really appreciate you taking the time to join us on the show.
I'm, I'm, I'm gonna have to listen back to this conversation and take notes and unpack everything that you shared cuz there was a lot in there. If people want to reach out to you, connect with you, learn more about you, Richard, uh, where can they find you?
Richard Blank: Well, they can buy a first class plane ticket and come visit me here, which would be wonderful.
I'm all over the internet with my websites and, but I also have a Facebook fan page of about 103,000 people, and so when this goes live, you're gonna have a lot of new fans and it will also give your audience a chance to see the business process outsourcing. In Central America, just real quick. We're north of Panama, south of Nicaragua.
We're the only democratic society in Central America. There's no standing arm in Christina, so there's a 95% literacy rate. We have the best infrastructure. They claim that Costa Rica has the most neutral English accent. We're known for medical tourism and especially ecotourism. So if you like surfing, which I know Australia does, we have waterfalls and monkeys and iguanas and butterflies, and it's just a wonderful place to visit.
I'm here, your friend, I got a thousand suggestions for you and your audience. And uh, Christina, I really can't thank you enough. I thorough. Enjoyed our time this evening.
Christina Canters: Oh, Costa Rica sounds absolutely wonderful, Richard. It's gonna have to go on my list now of places to visit. Sounds wonderful. Um, thank you so much again.
It's been such a,

Learning a second language is 10 times harder than any telemarketing call. Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Christina Canters: You are really ha people then feel seen, they feel heard, they feel like they matter. And that sounds exactly what you are able to do through the way that you communicate with others.
Richard Blank: Sure. And in their first day when they come to work, I let 'em know that learning a second language is 10 times harder than anything.
I'll put them on, I'll give 'em all their resource. and I'll support you a hundred percent. And before we go into the training room, why don't we go play some pinball for 20 minutes and go ? And so we start with dessert first. And so I've seen individuals on their first day instead of just absorbing, now they're contributing.
I really do see that sort of momentum and breakthrough very fast.
Christina Canters: Wait, can you dive a little bit more into that? So when you say you have dessert first. What exactly are your team doing on the first day? Is it the playing the pinball?
Richard Blank: Of course. Before even the training class ,
Christina Canters: so everyone, so it's basically having fun.
So it's having fun building culture before they've even watched the first onboarding video, my
Richard Blank: friend is helping them relax, love it, because they just probably came from an environment where they left because of a bad coworker, bad supervisor. Obviously they're not there anymore, so it's, they're on a rebound.
But I cracked a code. When people are filling out their applications and putting in everything that you want, hire them for. I asked them to turn their paper over and why don't you write me a couple paragraphs of a coming of age moment? Let me know when you had your walkabout, when you beat up a bully or saved a kitten out of a tree.
And so I do this to see what sort of depth they have, where their mind goes immediately when it comes to how they see themselves in their proudest moment, and also on a rainy Wednesday. I can remind you of when you were a champion and let them know that you're better than that and I, I know where you could be.
And so these are the sort of things where you try to really grow with somebody with synergy, because as I say, they look at me as a boss and they come into work and everyone does their 40 hours a week. I, I see it differently. I was given a career. I came to Costa Rica at 27 and worked at my friend's center for four years.
So it was a one in a million opportunity. I, I learned it from the inside out. I wasn't C level. I sat in the cubicles, broke bread, saw all the good and the bad, and it allowed me to understand areas in which I could extend more empathy and give, not just call center industries, any sort of person, more dignity.
And I knew if I was ever given that. My base foundation would be play , empathy, and just showing that sort of respected people because, um, it's done well for me. I have a very nice reputation here and I am a guest in this country, and so the fact that I was embraced, I was able to build a business in a very competitive industry.
I got my blessings every day. This should have never happened, and so. It really puts things in perspective on being bold. And fortune does favor the brave. And from time to time, my friend, there may be naysayers and gray believers out there, and it's only because they love you, but you have this sort of thing in your heart, then by all means, you should drink life and you should go for it.
And I really respect people that are responsible financially and with their family, but have this sort of vigor. To really put their hat in the ring, or as John Wayne said, die with your boots on . And, and I love seeing people like that because you know, they're living the most fulfilled life.

It's better to clean a window than to break a window in childhood.Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Christina Canters: For you, star, when did you first realize that this type of skill was so powerful?
Richard Blank: When I was a young man, I was, I was taught when you go over to a friend's house to wipe your feet and ask for permission and, and just. Know, your pleases and thank yous. And so instead of being known in elementary school as a bad child and not asked to come back, most of the parents said, you're one of the few friends I allow Christina to hang out with.
And so, um, I realized that by being polite was better than cursing. It's better to clean a window than to break a window. And, you know, you could always grow up and, and, you know, live life and, and figure out the stupid things to do in your childhood. . But when I was in my twenties and individuals were going for job interviews and they were too well rehearsed, they would stumble upon themselves.
And I tried that one time and I was very out of character. And then I said to myself in the mirror, it was right when I graduated college, I was never gonna do that again. Christina, either they're gonna love me or they're not gonna wanna work with me because if they love me, it's gonna allow me the sort of liberty and freedom
To be me and you'll get the best out of. Because if I'm in a in a box, I'll be miserable and you will not know the real person. And I try to do that here. I allow people to grow naturally. There's labor laws and people have to do certain things, but if somebody has an idea, Or I see the potential in someone, I will bend them but not break them.
I'll get them to stand up and do public speaking. I will have them sit in meetings with me and contribute. I will listen to their calls and not just say, Hey, great job, but I will let them know what they did. And so by allowing me to work with individuals from a C level where I could be humble. I could be, um, you know, show this sort of gratitude and interest in them.
It's amazing how many people tell me I'm the only boss that's ever done something like that. And so with all these people, cuz I compete against Amazon, they have thousands of people here, all the bells and whistles. But I do know this, Jeff Bezos didn't play pinball with everybody. . I walk the roads and I know everybody's.
I'll be there downstairs to say hello to your mother when she fix you up at work. And I don't need to be thousands, but my couple hundred that I have, the people that are with me, that's what they were looking for. They wanted the smaller shot. They wanted their name to be known. They wanted to grow. And that's why my friend, I believe that water seeks its own level.

My name is Richard Blank and I’m the CEO of Costa Rica’s Call Center. I’m skilled in reading phonetic micro expressions and use this to my advantage when speaking with people, especially over the phone.

How Remington Steel and Templeton Peck demonstrate advanced speaking skills. Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Christina Canters: What do you say to people who might be listening, who might be thinking, well, what about me just being my authentic self? You know, if I'm trying to emulate someone else, isn't that then me becoming inauthentic or not true to myself in terms of how I communicate? What would you say to those people?
Richard Blank: Excellent question and, and let me rephrase that and thank you very much. You, you need to be you, because if you try to be somebody else, you're not gonna last long. You'll get caught after 20 minutes. And so since English is their second language in Costa Rica, really my suggestions were about proper grammar.
So they'd watch the bbc or they'd listen to Australia television and they would hear the different pronunciations so they can get the ear for it for the different clients. But there are certain dialect. You do pronounce words differently than we do in Philadelphia, compares to Queens English, and, and it's fine.
It's all beautiful speech, but as long as they keep training their ear, they, they might like, as I mentioned before, if they listen to something in parliament, a transitional sentence or a way that someone was able to diffuse conflict by saying, for my clarification, Christina, for my edification. Compared to, excuse me.
What'd you say? Could you repeat that? Or, as we discussed earlier, with word choices from help to lending a hand that's still authentic, these people aren't changing. All we're doing is assisting them in growing and giving them more, giving them more self-confidence and self-reliance. That is all. And so they would be capable of listening, contribut.
And giving that sort of impression to where people will wanna move forward and work with them, but it is practice now, if I could make some suggestions just for my own personal growth. I love television. I love all time radio, and so my favorite speakers were Basil Wrath Bone back in the forties and fifties.
I enjoyed very much Jeremy Brett that did a Sherlock Home series in the eighties, and I, I liked Pierce Brosnan as Remmington Steel and Dirk Benedict as Templeton Peck in the A Team. I thought these were phenomenal, glib, clever, poised, balance speakers, and I gravitated towards that and I thought that it was very nice and and charming.
To be able to have an extensive vocabulary to sit up straight, to speak. Well, and and I realize that a lot of doors open that way for you. You might get a second plate of food in someone's house, , you might get that back. And
Christina Canters: so when did this start? When did this journey?

You gotta do the quarter second slide pronoun technique on a sales call. Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Christina Canters: Oh, you've trained thousands. I know about like 10,000 call center, uh, sales people a a lot. Um, this is your bread and butter. This is what you're really good at. Yeah. What you were talking about before in terms of your voice going up and then a pause. Uh, I'm trying to, I'm trying to do it, uh, right now, but I'm not sure how effective it's been.
How do you go
Richard Blank: back? You gotta do the quarter second slide.
Christina Canters: The quarter, second slide. Where do you do that at the end of the sentence?
Richard Blank: No, no, no, no, no, no. There's, there's even forced stutters that you can do. I, it's, it's natural speech. The, the greatest form of speech, my friend is sincerity. And so you can tell there's certain subjects where I extend and there's others like I did earlier with that phonetic micro expression reading.
It was almost military. I was just going through it quick and and banging it out. But I believe in the art of speech, there's nothing better than that. The source. So you can expand on your vocabulary with similes. For an example, I don't like to use the word help, I think Okay. That you could adjust it with a certain assisting.
How about a guiding tone? And my favorite Christina is lending a hand sort of approach. Okay. And so just that way alone, you can almost give yourself an advantage in regards to your momentum because you're being sincere, you are standing solid ground and obviously, , you are very excited about what you're talking about.
It could be any subject, but here's the beauty of it. You don't need to sell anything first. Put that stuff away. You and I should be talking about our lives prior to me sharing my products with you. Now, how about this as a salesman, no one ever bats a thousand, but you gotta let me go the 15 rounds, or at least I gotta earn it.
And from an educated point of view, make a decision. If, if I explain everything and. The sweetest peach in you just don't like peaches. I'm willing to accept that, but we're good. Thanks. No, thank you. Click. You didn't even gimme a chance. And so these techniques that I do in the beginning, I'm not lying, I'm not compromising ethics, values of morals, but my goodness, Aaron heard me say the name of your company better than he did.
I answered him well. I got excited. He, I cracked enough codes to transfer the call and I also gave a gift. And so these are the sort. First impressions that you can do that is just natural. There's no money exchanged. All you're doing is just putting your best foot forward and, and that should make for amazing days where you jump clouds, where every call could be 80% the same, but there's still 20% special sauce.
I mean, you do like a certain topping on your ice cream, and I love those sort of things. I always try to look for that on every single.
Christina Canters: Okay, so it's like you, you don't even need to change a lot of how you're talking. It's, it's maybe tweaking a few of those things, especially to start with. So if someone's never even thought about this before, never thought about their tone, or thought about making that great first impression, these are some tiny tweaks that they could start to do in order to make, you know, put the icing on on top.
Like you say,
Richard Blank: Richard had you practice. Yeah, they need to record themselves. No one likes having a sound, but they do realize that they can make that sort of adjustment. Maybe they have certain actors or actresses where they find that their tone of voice is not offensive. They like their rhetoric. They like their delivery.
Some people watch Pacino movies like Sent of a Woman, and they get inspired. Others will see the Wolf of Wall Street or Glen Gar. Glen Rosson get inspired or, or how about, uh, dead Poet Society? You might see a movie or you know, or Patch Adams when you have an inspirational doctor or teacher that could then move you.
And inspire you. And so maybe you study that sort of rhetoric because the market speaks Christina, because as much as movies and you and I have our opinion, if the masses get influenced by a speech or by an action, that is what you should study and, and potentially try to emulate.

Can we talk about the buffer boomerang technique? Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank.
Christina Canters: Can we talk about the buffer boomerang technique? Because you held up the piece of paper and for the people who are listening on the audio, can you explain, so I'm gonna read it now. So at one side there's buffer and a two in the circle, and then there's a, it's like a smiley face. And at the other end of the smiley face it says boomerang.
And underneath it says, that is a good question. Can you explain, Richard, what the buffer boomerang
Richard Blank: technique is? Well, you saw the negative two in the buffer cuz someone's negative. And so what I need to do is I need to buffer the negative name, drop you to get your attention. Again, I can't say it's a great question every time.
You can't beat that horse of death, but let's just use it to the, that's an excellent question. Repeat the question back, which I did to Aaron, and then send it, and if your audience can't see or the ones that can, I was smiling the entire time talking to you, and I was leaning forward the entire time using my hands as illustrators.
To give myself that balance and rhythm. I mean, you could tell, and there are certain extended pauses. I like to adjust my voice to go really high and then to loud whispers to make a statement.
Christina Canters: So why is that effective? Why, why is that
Richard Blank: effective? Because monotony, you only catch a, a monotonous speaking in monotone.
You catch one in five. So you really need to, it's almost like a dessert tray, Christina, you, you don't bring everything out on one level. You know how they have it stacked in different levels so you can see it and enjoy it. Each one deserves its own marquee and imagery, and so each one deserves its pause to see if there's a positive or negative reinforcement.
You never know, and I don't like jumping the gun because some people could be so amazed. And they're pondering and they're waiting to say something back. And so I love to allow people to feel more comfortable with me, to become more engaged in a conversation. This is not a lecture, and I'm not just checking off boxes and, and, and interrogating you.
It's a conversation con with sation. And it's, I mean, my, I don't learn anything new when I. I love hearing what other people have to say to see what I have in common. And I get a lot of compliments for being a very good listener. And I take copious notes. I believe in meeting minutes because there's accountability.
People might forget something. And it's just an excellent way to avoid any sort of conflict and, and you could take the initiative, you can be proactive, you can make sure the target dates are hit and the times to call back are. , um, everyone needs to lead the dance. Might as well be you and allowing them to think that they are, which is fine.

A style that immediately anchors with the client 100%. Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Richard Blank: Because I'm letting you know that I'm vulnerable. I'm showing with you three or four things that I do it my call center by playing pinball with the agents by moving from Philadelphia to Costa Rica by once again talking about walkabouts and in excess and stuff. At least I'm showing some major interest.
And you're amazing country. Yeah. And so, um, these are the sort of soft skills that could be a me too technique that someone could. I, I chose three different things. Travel, music and games and business. And so one of 'em had to hit, I could talk about food if you want . You're not gonna do shrimps on the barbie.
Yeah, I could have done that one, but everyone does that one. But, um, yeah, and I, I, I try to be non-threatening. I don't do this on every call. I mean, once again, someone says, who are you? Well, that's when we used the buffer boomerang technique. Not saying Aaron's tone was negative. But sometimes they are. And so what I like to do is do the name draw, let 'em know it's an excellent question.
Repeat the question for active listening, and send it positive. And you know what my favorite part was before I was transferred to Christina? The fact that I was just about to get transferred. I stopped there and stop, stop, stop. And I'm getting transferred. I could have killed the call, but I said, stop. I gotta let you know.
That I'm gonna compliment you, . You
Christina Canters: gotta be feeling me. Oh, I love that. Yes, yes, of course you do. It's a positive
Richard Blank: escalation. Some people get paid on that at call centers and other companies, but it's really, so how about this one, Christina? Imagine if, if hypothetically, Aaron transferred me to the mail room.
And then I got transferred over into it, and then I got transferred over here and there. I write everybody's name down. So even though I spoke about Aaron, imagine if I mentioned two or three people. You'd be like, who are you? You got passed around. My company, no one speaks to Matt in the, in the mail room.
I go, he's like the nicest guy I ever met. Don't tell me that. That immediately anchors. With the client, hundred percent. It's yours. Hundred percent. It's yours to lose,
Christina Canters: and if the person doesn't say their name, I'm assuming you ask for their name.
Richard Blank: They don't need to. I just need to say my name. And I have to let them know and if I'm about to transfer them and they still don't wanna gimme the name, err.
Put out your nails. Well, good for you. Why don't you have a nice lunch? Relax a little bit. You should be a little sweeter on the phone. But let me put to you this way, you know perfectly wont. When I get transferred to you, I'm going to get their name cuz I'm gonna compliment Mr. Or Mrs. Bidder. And then when I call you company back, I'm be like, how you
Christina Canters: doing Buddy
And they're gonna be, how did you get my name? You know, I was gonna get your.
Richard Blank: You remember me, and then they love me to death. I, I, I get them. The shed is skin a little bit. Once someone gets complacent, especially is the first impression of a company that's terrible. They should be bells and whistles, trumpets, red carpets, guns a blazing.
And so maybe it's just to remind them that they need to sell that sizzle and to bring somebody in appropriate. So you can meet in the middle and start strong. That's, that's just my thought. Hm.

Christina Canters: please.
Uh, can I ask what the
call's
Richard Blank: regarding? Absolutely, Aaron. The reason for this phone call is that I'm in Costa Rica. I got an amazing call center. I collect pinball machines In excess is my favorite band in Australia, and I just would like to touch base with it for 30 seconds to properly introduce myself.
Christina Canters: Oh wow. What kind of pinball machines
Richard Blank: do you have? Oh my goodness gracious. My oldest is a 1976 Ballet's Freedom. I got 13 of. One man's trash is another man's treasure. And I'm so glad, Erin, that you brought that up. I tell you what, when you ever come and visit in Costa Rica, we'll do a pinball marathon.
How does that sound?
Christina Canters: That sounds absolutely fantastic. I love, I love me bit of vintage, uh, gaming. Uh, alright. I'll put you through to Christina.
Richard Blank: She should be available Before you transf me or I just wanna let you know that you did an excellent job and when I speak to Christina, I'm gonna let her know that.
Christina Canters: Thank you. That means our, our marriage is strong, man. Still strong. . I'll transfer her through. Excellent. Then ring, ring, ring, ring. Uh, hello, Christina
Richard Blank: speaking. Hey Christine, this is Richard Blake. I just gotta let you know that Erin is probably the greatest employee that I've ever spoken to. You should be very proud working.
Christina Canters: Ah, thanks Richard. Um, can I ask her
Richard Blank: what the call's about? Well, absolutely. He was kind enough to transfer. My name is Richard Blank. I'm with Costa Rica's call center, and I just wanted to touch base and introduce myself. Let you know I got a great call center in Central America. I collect pinball machines in excess is my favorite band.
And I just wanted to share some of our services with you to see if this is something that you may be interested in.
Christina Canters: Awesome. All right. Pause, role play. Big round of applause, Richard .
Richard Blank: But check it out. When I call your company back and I speak to your amazing husband, you know he is gonna remember me and he's also going to thank me for saying that to you and in writing.
And then he might also tell me your direct extens. In anniversary or promotion, something of your company culture that may move the ball forward a bit. And those are the sort of things, my friend, that we just paid it forward. And as you can see, your husband actually gave me the pass, the pitch. So rock on.
I got you. .
Christina Canters: Can I, okay. So can I summarize what I believe you. Yes ma'am. So firstly, you said you asked how the company was going and you said the C method name. With so much joy and excitement that I got excited just hearing, you know, what my company was up to. So that was one thing. Yeah. The second thing you used Aaron's name, you said, hi Aaron, how are you doing?
You know, how are you doing? Um, which I believe builds that rapport cause people also love hearing their own names. You also mentioned a couple of interesting facts about yourself that I wouldn't have expected on an initial call. Exactly. So you said you've got a pinball collection and that in excess is your favorite band.
Why do you do that? And is that random and weird?
Richard Blank: No, because I'm extremely proud of in excess and everybody in the world should listen to them. Um, why? Because if not, I'm gonna sound like everybody. And you're gonna hang up on me and it's gonna put a bad taste in your mouth. And yes, you don't need my pinball machines and I'm sure you love inaccessible.
What's that have to do with the C method? It's got a lot to do with the C method. Everything's got to do with everything.

This phone technique really reduces any sort of defense from a gatekeeper or filter. Stand Out Get Noticed podcast (The C Method Episode 283) guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Christina Canters: Do you have an example, Richard, of like a personal example of where you had to chip away at, you know, you know, collect the dimes as you say, in order to get that final end result that you wanted?
Richard Blank: Sure, and I was actually able to give myself major momentum in the beginning. Two things I did when I like to prospect companies, I use my anonymity to my advantage.
Not for the whole call, cuz that's shady, but my first impression is not to ask for your. Or to, you know, trip up on my intro. Usually I like to do a company name spike and I'll ask how the company is doing. So at least it sounds like a mystery shopper. I've been there before and it really reduces any sort of defense from a gatekeeper or filter.
Christina Canters: Wait, can I just pause you there, Richard? Sorry. So who I need you to really like, like take me through this process. So who's the person you're speaking with initially?
Richard Blank: Anybody. But if it's a first time impression for a secretary or a gatekeeper answering a call, right? A gatekeeper to a, the security guard or a elevator attendant up front, or even the president themselves.
The first thing I'm gonna do is either say their name or especially the name of their company, which they're so proud of, better than they did. And so at least what it's done is, and you know this, it's gave me 30 seconds, at least 30 seconds to then once again, properly introduce myself and just to see if I can snap 'em out of this zone of cold calls, hangups and bothering, just to let 'em know that Christina and Richard are are, are just here to properly introduce ourselves and.
Prior to a contract, once I get transferred, let's just say hypothetically from your assistant to you, I will let you know verbally with a positive escalation how amazing your assistant was. I'll do it in writing at the end of the call, regardless of what happens in the middle of the call. Just just to separate myself, Christina, from the other.

You're looking to gain 30 seconds for a pass to pitch a sale. Stand Out Get Noticed podcast guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.[The C Method podcast Episode 283]
Christina Canters: So, Richard, can we take a step back? You mentioned earlier that when you say, when you're wanting to gauge someone, so when we bring it right back, you know, let's say like we're for someone who's in the workplace, they're working with a team, or maybe they're speaking to a, a high level manager, um, or a client, let's say yes.
What, why? Why are these techniques useful in terms of gauging? So what are we actually gauging with the other person and how does that then benefit us or benefit the relationship?
Richard Blank: Fantastic. Christina, you're really gaging positive or negative reinforcements, and since if it's someone you've known for a long time, you know if he gets you, but if it's someone you don't know and you can't see them, I don't know if you're nodding, taking notes or with me.
And so a lot of the times in the beginning, it's a very delicate area. To where you should listen twice and you speak. There's a very good time by asking open-ended questions that people will tell you what they're looking for. So you could have been way off. And also there's an attention span. And so I believe by doing specific name drops, it's more towards transitional sentencing or tie downs, and every sentence has personal pronouns like a your or an R.
So these are trigger words. Every sentence where I can just bring you in, bring you in, and then knock it in for the close. And so, um, I always believe in military alphabet because there's a lot of the times things are misspelled or mispronounced, and the last thing you want is an email bouncing back.
And these individuals, it's very time sensitive. So if you think that you're getting 10 minutes, you're, you're sadly mistaken, my friend. You're looking to gain 30 seconds for a pass to pitch. And you're not pitching for 10 minutes, you're doing ten one minute pitches like a boxer and around, because this is like, when we're nothing, things
Christina Canters: can adjust.
Yeah. So this is like when, so, so let's say we're having a phone call with someone and I mean, this could even be face to face right? As well. Yes. So, so, so what I'm hearing is that, um, we have a very short amount of time to influence. On the phone or face to face. So we need to be constantly keeping an ear out and gauging what their reaction is to us so that we can keep adapting.
Our style of communication is
Richard Blank: that, but my friend, we're not looking to do a cold call close every time you and I, for an example, we had to communicate multiple times because of scheduling conflicts. It wasn't anything bad, but life happens and you and I were professional. We communicated in real. And we are extremely flexible for convenience, and I think that was wonderful prior to jumping on this podcast today.
And that's not even a sale. It's just because you and I wanna work together and have an episode together. But I, I think if people are able to gauge boundaries, and maybe somebody would like to review your credentials before a contract, or maybe what you and I could have done today is move forward three or four paces and then tomorrow.
We can always pick up where we left off. And how about this one? Unless there is a major sense of urgency, give somebody the luxury of time, allow them the ponder, sleep on it, write a draft, and maybe not send it because the next day you might even make more progress that way. Then you would if you felt like you needed to force somebody's.
on a previous conversation. And so, um, I, I always believe that if you start something, it could always grow and you should never compare it to stuff you've done in the past. And each, each individual, it's almost like a riddle. And you know, how about this? I'd rather collect a million dimes than just gimme $100 bill.
And so things can be chipped. Masterpieces can be molded and worked on. And some of your best relationships, and you know this well, have been over a decade and these things are five minute conversations, the two hour lunches, and that's the way I look at an individual. You, you and I, my friend, don't know what's happening outside the office.
There might be something distracting them or influencing their decision, so give them the benefit of the doubt. Give them two or three different types of shoes to fit in. And then you'll know how to walk with them. Christine? Yeah.
Christina Canters: Do you have an example, Richard, of like a personal example of where you had to chip away at, you know, you know, collect the dimes as you say, in order to get that final end result that you wanted?
Richard Blank: Sure, and I was actually able to give myself major momentum in the beginning. Two things I did. When I like to prospect companies, I use my anonymity to my advantage. Not for the whole call, cuz that's shady, but my first impression is not to ask for your boss or to, you know, trip up on my intro. Usually I like to do a company name spike and I'll ask how the company is doing, so at least it sounds like a mystery shopper.
I've been there before and it really reduces any sort of defense from a gatekeeper or a filter.

Two minutes are the best segments to gauge somebody's tell signs. Stand Out Get Noticed podcast guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.[The C Method podcast Episode 283]
Christina Canters: Hey Richard, uh, when you first reached out to me and said, Hey, I think I've got something of value to share to your audience. You talked about micro facial expression reading. I'm actually gonna say that again. Phonetic micro expression, reading for mastering, verbal tell tale Tell science. Now that was that ped my interest because I have not learned anything before about phonetic micro-expression reading.
Can you share what that even is? Absolutely. I would love to, and I think your audience will find it fascinating. You mentioned earlier about facial expressions and there's nothing wrong. With reading someone's body language. In fact, most people are used to reading people's expressions. Now, I always believe in congruence where the audio is supposed to match the visual.
Now, in my industry, owning a call center, the majority, if not all of the calls, are sight unseen. So phonetics to me, Christina, is probably the purest form of communication. The sound of speech, not the semantics or even the tone. Okay? And so with the phonetic micro expression, What I would like to show your audience is a very simple x, y chart, okay?
The tone of voice should always be positive and empathetic, so you show confidence and you show empathy. Now, there's a technique called mirror imaging. People use this in sales and public speaking, interpersonal communication and conflict management. I use it for manipulation because if you have a consistent variable, you can see inconsistencies.
So you and I can gauge somebody on how fast and how loud they speak. I believe 30 seconds. Two minutes are probably the best sort of segments to gauge somebody. And if you happen to see a spike or a dip, it's usually when you ask a tie down or clarification question to somebody. And so these are usually for first time phone calls or when you know somebody for a long period of time and even face to face.
If you happen to close your eyes and take out the distraction, you might be able to pinpoint this. Now, I believe that a tone rate in a pitch could be manipul. So that's why I the answering speed this subconscious that people have, they're not consistent and that's pretty much the insurance policy to see if they're being consistent.
Now, I don't want to put somebody on the spot. Or let them know they're being facetious and not being honest with me. So maybe I might ask them to reexplain it using their other senses or another way to keep it simple for me just to see that they're consistent. And so, um, while you're on the phone and I was doing it for years, it can seem monotonous and boring.
And so I was trying to see if I could bite an apple while juggling, not acting a fool and wasting my time and not doing good work. But there, but there's gotta be some. That we can crack and other levels that you and I can master, so we could become a little more lucid on the phone and not just complacent, because most people do not show active listening.
They're halfway there. And then a lot of times there's crosstalk or miscommunication. So a lot of the times we can almost control the conversation. It's just by being very engaged in it, and so that could really assist your audience when focusing in concentration on someone's phonetic speech.
