They can do anything and go anywhere and sell anything.They can do anything and go anywhere and sell anything. Positive Talk Radio guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center
Good Lord. I had no idea how complicated this whole whole system is. And, but at the end of the day, when somebody gets trained, like you're talking about, they can do anything and go anywhere and sell anything. And because they get it, they, they understand how it all works. Well, just like you see in the movies of the Wolf of wall street, Glen Gary, Glen Ross, or the closing scenes in boiler room, that's only a specific vertical.
That's a certain sort of assertiveness that sometimes the not fit every profile agent that we have here. So I, I, I do appreciate the compliment, but if I may, I never force a hand. What I like to do is from an educated point of view, people make a decision, if anything, and nothing. My good friend, you and I are gonna go to the distance.
I'll go 15 rounds. They'll at least hear me the whole way. And then they're able to make a decision. I rarely get hung up on in the middle. Um, but the most important thing once again, is to do active listening and through deductive reasoning, I can share with you my expertise to see if it fits. And unfortunately there are some times, and I can give you three quick examples where as much as they want to give me the business, I can't take it.
I'm not 24 7, so I don't do grave. We don't speak Chinese or other sort of languages. I'll take Portuguese, Spanish and English. That's what I'll do. But if I can't speak the language or understand the language, I'm uncomfortable with that, that's difficult for me. And the third thing that I have to turn down accounts is I can't match the rates on offshore call centers in India and the Philippines Costa Rica is central America.
We're nears. We're the most expensive in central America, uh, companies such as Amazon, HP into and Oracle here. So expecting a Costa Rican to work for a dollar an hour, as much as I could offer to 'em no one's gonna take it. So the clients have to be very realistic when I'm forthright with them and give them sort of feedback.
They might not want to hear it, but they're respect me for the respect.
