Expectations and Disappointments

I get disappointed more than I do angry. And I expect the most of people. So I give them the benefit of the doubt. And the majority of the people stepped up to the plate and shined and shed some skin and really showed me the best.

Leadership Authenticity and Strategic Communication

Because if I kicked and cried like a baby in front of a hundred people, they'd laugh at me. They wouldn't respect. On the flip side, my friend, I'm also a human being. So I want them to see the passionate, true side of a man that's fighting for this. And so I'm not like what you see in the movies or out of Hollywood. I will sit down and break bread with you. I will play pinball together. And I'll not correct your grammar, but I'll make suggestions to make your rhetoric more diplomatic and strategic. I will power up your vocabulary, replace words like help and use assistant guide and LinkedIn and say for my clarification compared to, excuse me, we can, Tara, we can readjust tones. And so by doing so, these individuals will be able to have that much more balance in their work.

Perspective on Learning Challenges

I put fear into perspective. You, my friend, studied French as I Spanish, as they did English, amongst other languages. So why don't we say that learning a second language is 10 times harder than any account that I'm going to put you on. Right. Okay. Okay. To me, you're like, yeah, you're right. I know I'm right. So everyone calms down.

In this episode of the Max Yao Leadership Podcast, @RichardBlank , CEO of Costa Rica's Call Center, reveals the secrets behind creating a thriving workplace culture and mastering communication in the call center industry. Why You Should Watch: Whether you're a business leader, aspiring entrepreneur, or someone looking to elevate your communication skills, Richard shares a wealth of insights on leadership, personal growth, and building authentic connections. Key Highlights: From Dreams to Success: Richard's journey from Philadelphia to Costa Rica and his rise as a call center CEO. The Power of Communication: Master techniques for difficult conversations, cold calls, and building trust. Leadership Strategies: Learn how to lead with empathy, inspire teams, and develop future leaders. Community Building: Discover how Richard creates a workplace culture that prioritizes employee happiness and retention.

Maxime Yao (Max) is the Founder of the Self-Empowerment Leadership Institute, an education business dedicated to helping corporate executives and entrepreneurs across the world develop their leadership skills and grow their career and business. https://youtu.be/ywgfuWmJtEw https://youtu.be/OHADgPq7eJI Life-Changing Decisions and the Courage to Follow Through And one of the final questions I'll have for you is, you know, we've spent the last hour together, asked a few questions. What is one question that you wish I'd asked you? And how would you have answered? I guess... what is the moment in your life that everything changed? And for me is when I sat down with my parents at 18 years old and I convinced them that I was following in my great-grandparents footsteps. He came from Eastern Europe at the turn of the 20th, learned English, made our money during the depression. It's in my blood. Skipped a couple of generations, but I'm going south. And Allow me to live a poet's life. Allow me to have a true life. And at 18 years old, making that sort of long play decision, it's kind of crazy. It's kind of risky. It's madness. But looking back at it now, I couldn't be more proud of myself for standing strong and tall and following through on a commitment that I gave myself back in 1991 to continue this and not stop.

Expand your mind to elevate your life! On this podcast, I interview game-changers from across the globe who are here to share gems of information that they have mined through success. Occasionally, you will hear straight from me, on recent discoveries and practices I implement. In this episode, Richard Blank, CEO of Costa Rica Call Centers, discusses the lost art of talking on the phone and the importance of soft skills in effective phone conversations. He shares his personal journey and how he became the CEO of a call center in Costa Rica. Richard emphasizes the need for phone conversations in retaining clients, upselling, and receiving referrals. He also provides tips for dealing with irate customers and preserving energy and emotional balance during phone conversations. Additionally, Richard highlights the power of humor and storytelling in creating meaningful connections over the phone. Season 4 Episode 9. March 20th, 2024. Experiencing Costa Rica's Pura Vida and Mental Decompression And the culture here, it's a very united culture. It's a very proud culture. We mentioned Pura Vida, which means pure life. They're really into nature. So, I mean, with all the national parks that you visited and the monkeys that are hanging around, the sloths and iguanas and butterflies, it's like being in a painting. It really is. Maybe when you decompress, my friend, and you put the phone away and you sit under that palm tree next to a waterfall out in the rainforest and no one's around you, maybe that's the sort of thing that can recharge your batteries and get you in a healthier state of mind. The shame that I see is when people bring that mental baggage with them and hoping that that will erase it when they come here. But no, they need to separate the two. Or when people are here, they go maybe a little above and beyond in regards to adventure. https://youtu.be/P0ZIdIAveek https://youtu.be/68QHH2qszcU Richard Blank hired bassist Garry Gary Beers of INXS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieGjN5H4xPQ Lifelong Learners Collective, Ella Catherine, Richard Blank, Costa Rica's Call Center, Outsourcing, Telemarketing Call Centre, BPO, Nearshore Contact Center, Sales, Entrepreneur, B2B, Business, Podcast, Gamification,Leadership, Marketing, CX, Guest, Money, B2C education, BPO trainer,call centre, contact centre, contact center,trend, trending Richard’s journey in the call center space is filled with twists and turns.

In this episode of "Leverage with Daniel," your host Daniel Tolson dives deep into the world of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) with guest expert Richard Blank. Discover the ins and outs of BPO, from when businesses typically start outsourcing their services to the essential soft skills and qualities to look for when hiring BPO agents. Join us as we explore the fascinating realm of Phonetic Micro Expression Reading and how it can be a game-changer in call centers. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your business with invaluable insights from Richard Blank. Topics Discussed: What is BPO, and who utilizes it? When does a business typically start outsourcing its services? When hiring agents for BPO services, what soft skills, characteristics, and qualities should you look for in a candidate? What is Phonetic Micro Expression Reading, and how can it be leveraged in call centers? https://youtu.be/_3M0cyLKQyk https://youtu.be/uM3SWevsxaI https://youtu.be/2DyaWZoz-Dk The Importance of Diligence and Endurance in Business And at the end of the day, Daniel, when you're talking about leverage, you got to choose between 10 companies. I'm not into the Philippines, might be a little more expensive. Look at the way I treated your assistant. I called you back on time, followed through on that email. How about this? I did so much due diligence on you from your LinkedIn profile on your website that I custom made your voicemail and email. He loved me. It was almost mine to lose. And so I'm earning these things by getting a lot of first downs and moving it forward through momentum. I'm not angling my way in there or pretending to be. And so if you have that sort of pace and rhythm, your supervisor needs to calm down. He should remember when he was on the phone and what it's like to do this sort of forced march. Now also, my friend, you need to build up that endurance for it. You're talking about manual dialing. We have machines now that do that for you. But the old school players off of those Cisco phones, remember how to do those dials?

And there needs to be some self respect. I like people that make their bed in the morning, if they're capable of hitting the gym, so they can release and retain.

Paul Angelle welcomes Richard Blank, who shares his journey to Costa Rica and insights on leadership, the call center industry, and time management. Richard offers advice for starting a business in Costa Rica and discusses the benefits of podcasting. Specialized Virtual support for your law firm At Stafi, we’re not just staffing providers—we’re growth partners.

Whether you need to fill multiple full-time paralegal roles, find the perfect assistant to handle intake and marketing, or just need some help with the phones after-hours, Stafi has your back. Richard Blank, our latest guest on Inappropriate Growth, shared his unconventional journey to starting a business in Costa Rica. It began with a passion for languages, a spark that no traditional education system could extinguish. He went above and beyond, spending his weekends and evenings pouring over books, watching movies, and engaging with people to grow this passion. His grades might not have been Ivy league standard, but his determination caught the attention of a dedicated Spanish teacher who, along with the late principal Norman Schmidt, believed in him and got him into Arizona for their language program. But how did he convince his parents to let him pursue this path instead of the traditionally coveted fields like Ivy League education or medicine? He invoked his great grandparents. Sounds intriguing, right? Richard's story is a testament to the fact that the road less traveled can sometimes lead to the most exciting destinations. His dedication and commitment to his passion is truly inspiring, and a reminder to us all that success is not always linear. Tune into this episode of Inappropriate Growth to hear Richard Blank's fascinating journey. Who knows, it might just spark your own path less traveled. https://youtu.be/dGgbmWYXEDk https://youtube.com/shorts/BXniUNkkN-I https://youtube.com/shorts/K1E8QnY-zR8 Richard Blank hired bassist Garry Gary Beers of INXS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieGjN5H4xPQ Paul Angelle, Inappropriate Growth Podcast, Richard Blank, Costa Rica's Call Center, Outsourcing, Telemarketing Call Centre, BPO, Nearshore Contact Center, Sales, Entrepreneur, B2B, Business, Podcast, Gamification,Leadership, Marketing, CX, Guest, Money, B2C education, BPO trainer,call centre, contact centre, contact center,trend, trending, Sunset, Louisiana, United States Hosted on Acast.

We all have a story to share that can inspire others. My mission in life is to help as many people get onto stages as I can.

We also specialize in e-learning simulations where learners will be able to try the skills they've learned in a controlled environment designed to allow them to experiment. https://youtu.be/P2VO8lyeQmM Hired bassist Garry Gary Beers of INXS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieGjN5H4xPQ Communication Techniques: Balancing Conversations in Call Centers These are things you need to do every 30 seconds for checkpoints. I believe in preventative measures instead of cures. So instead of a 10 minute conversation, Andrew, it's 20, 30 second conversations that you need to land. You need to get the checkpoint, the underwater thumbs up scuba diving because people rush their calls. You do agree with positive or negative reactions, reinforcements, Gotta take a breath, see what's going on in this boxing round. What are they doing? How are they reacting to you? Are you lowering temperatures and getting closer? And so these things are very important in these soft skills. So you're asking me to tie this thing in a bow and make it cookie cutter for everybody. You gotta be kidding me. These calls zig and zag. And so if you try to read your script, if you try to interject at the wrong time, cross-talking, interruptions, nice, and a bad call and you wonder why. And so there's certain timing, it's a two for a one, you take back and go in, you repeat and chisel, and you tell Billy with the coffee bread yelling at you to keep making phone calls your supervisor to calm down. because I'm looking to be engaged right now. I'm looking to be in the moment so I can capture that one or two things on that call that will completely diffuse the situation. The Power of Personal Connection in Communication They didn't have matters. They didn't do their due diligence. They didn't look at your LinkedIn profile or website. They were not prepared to talk with you. And so, as I say, make these calls and emails and voicemails custom made. And if you do, at least you're gonna capture their attention so they'll listen to it. How about this? Richard, why are we leaving voicemails? That's a good point, Andrew. Tell you what, how many texts do you get a day? A thousand? How many emails do you get a day? 500? How many voicemails you get a day? five yeah so i'm gonna leave you a great voicemail tell you how great judy is so maybe you'll call me back and um all i know is this when i do call your company back and judy does pick up the phone she'll say richard i've been here for 10 years the only person who's ever complimenting you on the phone to andrew i'm gonna put you right through oh thank you It works, it won't compromise your ethics and it's gonna make somebody's day. So separate yourself from other people, pay that compliment, pay it forward. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Richard’s journey in the call center space is filled with twists and turns. When he was 27 years old, he relocated to Costa Rica to train employees for one of the larger call centers in San Jose.

And there we go, my friend. I was willing to take, and also you have to get past certain guilt, either as parents, friends, and you have to avoid the naysayers and great believers, take them into consideration, but you can't have them stop you. And so sometimes you need to be selfish if you want to go on these adventures. And so my intentions were honorable, but I really had to hold course because I literally had nobody to compare notes to. Nobody was doing this. So I was off on my own and I said, you know what? Be bold and brave and see where life will take you. Excellent. So there's a story that aligns a little bit with that, with hire, lead and chill the company. That is, we were much less intentional, but there was still this path that we followed and we didn't have a roadmap either. So we super unintentionally started Hire Lead Chill in that nobody else was doing this recruiting for the home service space back at seven or eight years ago. It was not a consideration to outsource recruiting really in the home service space for 98% of the businesses out there. The Art of Handling Gatekeepers and Creating Positive Momentum It's really an adjustment of mass. Yeah. And in the beginning, people have these ego defense, especially with their mechanisms. And they're black and blue and we're good, thanks. And you sound like a salesman and just send me information. Fine, I'll take that romantic death. But you're at least going to say that to me seven minutes in because I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions in charge of your secretary. You have to understand there are things like positive escalations where if I get a gatekeeper on the phone and I get the pass to pitch and I get transferred to you, I will definitely let them know verbally and in writing how amazing that individual is. So when I call your company back, they remember me. And they add to my momentum. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
