But my parting words, what's assisted me in the long run is just not to be hard on myself. Okay, it's so important to look in my own eyes in the mirror. If you can't do that, we got some issues. 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. And if you can have a better diet, so we just don't do fun food all the time, we have food that can maintain and give you protein. You know, I always believe that regardless of any sort of outcome, at the end of the day, if you know you did things with honorable intentions and good faith, you should be able to live with yourself because a lot of people compare way too much and that's okay. But I don't know. I think you should be your own destiny, your own future, your own pace.

So when the client called me and said, Richard, do you know anything about classic movies? Yes. Wiffle ball pitch. Here we go again. I started rattling off all my Alfred Hitchcocks and Steve McQueen's. And I mean, come on, man, I'm all over the place. And the guy's like, man, you know this better than I do. I go, could you imagine how I'm going to be pushing this and selling this? Yeah, absolutely. Getting excited over the spaghetti Westerners of Clint Eastwood. I mean, you've got to be kidding me. These were classics. But I tell you what. One of the greatest things people can do is to watch these movies because if you're speaking, let's say for an example, you're 20 years old now and you wanna call someone like myself a business owner, You should be watching Fast Times at Richmond High and Failure Spielers Day Off. Why? Because that's what I grew up on. That's right. So when you call me up, you go, come on, man. You know Mike DeMone's five-point plan.

So we all need to calm down and slow down. Secondly, this is my wheelhouse. How many times do you really get telemarketing calls? So I'll let Billy pitch me for five minutes. I'd love to hear him. And then I say, hey, Billy, you mind if I make a suggestion? Yeah. And then I rope-a-dope them. Real good. And at the end, they thank me. I will... Let them know times when they missed the beat. I will ask certain questions that they never followed up on. They'll glance over it. They'll hedge it and repeat it. But they won't ask a second or third question, which shows depth, interest, and anchoring, as we spoke earlier. I bet you at the end of the phone call, if I asked them to give me the meeting minutes, they couldn't even tell five of the answers that I gave or five of the extra things that I mentioned.

And he said something earlier really stuck out to me when it came to leadership. When you're talking about how you wanted to make the people feel like people are not numbers. And I feel like that's a really big thing, especially nowadays when you work for these different companies and these different corporations that they just look at you as a number, you know what I mean? Not as an actual person. So for you to have that intuition to understand that, you know, if I had these people understand that they are people and I care about the person, then it's like everything else will come to respect will come. And it's easy to lead people that want to be, you know, they want to be led and feel appreciated.

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.

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.…

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.…

Welcome to Growing Up with Dr. Sarah, where we take on - and tackle - general health and wellness, parental issues, family matters, and real-life challenges that affect every single one of us. Being a pediatrician, while having a mother's perspective, has given me unique insight and experience on what we all need to do better to live healthier, happier, and stronger as individuals...and as families.

You want to get a free cappuccino. But that's not the point. The point is to hang for that electromagnetic energy that you have through a smile, through a hug. Because at the end of it all, cash is not going to make you happy. And fortunately for me, doctor, I chose a lucrative industry and got very lucky, and the stars were aligned. And there's only so many dinners you can eat. And so there are certain stages of individuals where they want to pay it forward in one way. And thankfully, I have a linguistic environment where people do want to learn advanced soft skills so they can manage conversations and retain relationships. And I have them study even You know, Helen Keller, for an example, the master communicator that I try to explain, and this is with all due respect. There is a Helen Keller Institute in Desemperados. It's for blind and deaf children. But when you remove one or more senses, others get expanded. She was such a genius where her taste, touch, and spell, she connected to our world, created a language with Ann Sullivan, and the rest is history. We're removing our taste, touch, and smell. And so I know our hearing gets expanded.

Location: Melbourne, Australia Wednesday May 31, 2023 Richard Blank - CEO Costa Rica’s Call Centre Following a Different Path It's impossible for me to share notes with my parents that went to Columbia Business School and did all this finance when I was a Spanish major at Arizona. Yeah. My great grandparents came from Europe. Okay, great. So I can compare myself to a couple generations back that were nomads. That was my argument to my parents at 18 years old and why I wanted to study languages compared to going to Ivy League. Because look what our great grandparents did. They were entrepreneurs. They left Eastern Europe, came to New York, were in the fashion industry, made their money Persistence and Perception But from that component, you mentioned before about walking across the dance floor. Right. Getting up there and you've listened to a number of my podcasts. So apologies if you're getting the same story that you've heard before. But for the audience, the new audiences that haven't heard it, others have. But I had a friend in the army. I wasn't really a friend, but it was someone I was in the army with. He was a good looking guy, but he was a bit dumb. um in my opinion and but he was always dating these amazing women they were beautiful they were doctors and lawyers and and just really genuinely good people that would help out and we're looking myself and my friends are going how you know you're not that bright and you know yeah you're good looking but we were always thinking you know he must be well hung or something like that was you know i was 19 years you know those are the thoughts that go in your head And one day I asked him, and I said, Shane, and I did say this. I said, Shane, you're not that bright. How is it that you're dating all these amazing women? And he turned into this wise old soul, put his arm around my shoulder, and he said, Damien, what you don't see is I ask a lot. Most of them say no. You just see the ones that say yes The Vintage Limo Experience you were mentioning the limo not the kind of limo that your audience is thinking it's a restored 1984 300d lang that's why i want to be in it it's like awesome yeah put in a put in a bar I painted it black. I got the white walls and I found old school, like, hubcaps on it. It's cool. It's real cool.

Yo, Jeff, you watch movies, don't you? Absolutely. The Wolf of Wall Street and Boiler Room. Glengarry Glen Ross, right? The prime gig. All that good stuff. Wow. I mean, you're screaming out, Recco, cutting ties. Everyone's standing. Closing on cold calls. I mean, come on, Gene the Machine. Golfies for closers. Please. It really depends on the environment that you're in. There's five campaigns I don't do here. It's because I'm in a very strict Catholic country and I'm a guest here. We don't do sports books, casinos, stocks, pharmacies, or sweepstakes. there's a lot of companies out there such as your bank or other places that will retain a client that will give you an upsell or some sort of referral or assistance that you might not get when you're just entering in information filling out forms waiting for somebody to respond that's the most frustrating thing when you keep pressing zero yeah and so as much as people are downsizing and trying to do things through ai AI can't give you a hug. And AI can't tell you that they know where you're coming from if your dog dies The Power of Delegation and Growth Or how about even this, the best part, you might even be able to start hiring people and paying salaries and delegating and promoting. And so the moment that you release that weight mentally, physically, spiritually, then you rise, right? Release whatever weight is holding you back so you can expand. That's my only suggestion for your audience. I can't thank you enough. You do the best podcast. You know, I had a great time with you today. I have the best guests. So it's all you.
