Join Courtney every week where she disseminates wellness woo culture for the curious careerist. Episode 19. Flipping the Script on Call Center Work with Richard Blank When you think of call centers, you’re probably thinking of telemarketers and scammers, or maybe even thinking back to a time you had to call a customer service line and hung up the phone feeling frustrated. Wouldn’t it be nice if that story was different and you left those interactions with a smile on your face, feeling cared for and heard? Richard Blank is training his employees to be those call center workers — and they’re even doing it in two languages. In this episode, Richard and I are chatting about his love for the Spanish language growing up, how that led him down to Costa Rica, and how that eventually sparked his CEO journey owning a call center. Richard is such a kind, open soul, so it’s no wonder he brings that light to his employees and everyone around him. It’s a refreshing departure from what we normally expect out of call center experiences, and for that, we can thank Richard for humanizing a statistically dehumanized industry. https://youtu.be/Ww4MUb3vkO4 https://youtu.be/U_2DFeR1b1w Richard Blank hired bassist Garry Gary Beers of INXS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieGjN5H4xPQ Resume Well, Courtney Page, 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 Hosted on Acast.

Hosted by Kevin Brierton – a voice of clarity in the cacophony of 'could haves' and 'should haves' – this podcast is your weekly ticket to breaking the chains of procrastination and inaction. https://youtu.be/3yoXzYlDQvM https://youtu.be/JXZLgv0sQ2M The Future of Call Centers: AI and Human Touch In 10 years from now, 99% of us could be replaced. Think about an automatic telling machine for your cash. You don't need to go in the banks anymore. If AI keeps assisting people, moving them along, gathering the information and converting those calls, it's gonna work. Like IVR is integrated voice response you put in your things on the phone. But I tell you what, there'll always be a certain market that presses zero, that's willing to speak to the person at the ticketing counter, paying extra 20 bucks just to make sure it's done. Maybe we're concierge, first class, or just rare. But yeah, it will be adjusting my industry accordingly. And is that a good thing? I think it's a fantastic thing for the consumer. But I don't want people today to fully focus on nonverbal communication. I think the texting and emails and chatting, there's a miscommunication, misinterpretation. If you have the certain skills to be able to speak with somebody, you'll have a much more solid relationship, more memorable. You can transfer that electromagnetic energy. And you'll find your job much more fulfilling. But Kevin, my man, I can't thank you enough. I had the best time today on your podcast.

You're all over the place. You didn't give me a specific industry. I don't know how long this cat's been doing this. Who trained them? What sort of onboarding? You're generalizing, making it seem like telemarketing is bad. Okay. Oh, I'm not. No, I'm not generating at all. But no, seriously, let's do the zero conversion ratios every day. Okay. That's why, as I always said as a telemarketer, how can I use them? What am I going to get out of this crappy-ass job that is paying me per hour and I can't get a single freaking commission because the list is bad or the product is bad, the price is bad, everything's bad. Okay. Well, as I said before, this is the romantic death that you have. I can't guarantee the 95 rest of the call. That's up to Billy and his stuff. But at least that 5% with Steve and myself, Prior to the introduction of that company, I'm an ace. What does that mean? I got to pass the pitch. What does that mean? It's a positive reinforcement that wherever I plug Richard or Steve, we are going to be successful. It just so happens that we are not in the right environment at the right time. It's a little bit, but we've overgrown that cage. And so two things, three things should happen if you're signing your name to something, you give it the best that you got.

It's gaming through work, through play, through bonding. Now, I never thought that spending your free time doing company exercises was the correct thing. That's your own time. I was never really into going out having beers with the boss afterwards. I'm not a drinker, but I believe that during office hours, during break time or during certain sessions, this is a happy medium. It gives somebody a chance to let off steam, recharge batteries, try the machines that you and I grew up with that virtually today don't even compare to on the Internet. Elton John had it perfectly when he's talking about a pinball wizard, really filling this machine as you were mentioning earlier. Remember not to tilt the machine. People fall in love in my game room by the Pac-Man machine. I've had individuals really compose themselves before sparring out of control to quit or just to have a bad day.

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.

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.

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?
