I, I don't get to talk to a lot of CEO.It'll be fun. He's uh, he is a CEO of, uh, Costa Rica's call center, which is a huge call center. And it, uh, he teaches people that the, the indigenous people down there, how to speak English, how to sell, how to do all kinds of stuff. Um, he, his, uh, website Costa Rica's call center. You, he can. Just about anything in the service world that you can think of.I was going through it. It's like, wow, they do that. Oh man, they do that. They do. They from web design to sales, to all kinds of different things. It's just really is remarkable. So, so Richard blank, how are you, sir? I'm doing great. Thank you so much, Kevin, for having me on this show. How in the world did you end up in Costa Rica?Whew. Well, if you can get past your parents guilt, you can pretty much live anywhere in the world. So that's the first thing, but, uh, no, my story began in Northeast Philadelphia back in 1991. When I graduated Abington high school, I. My favorite class was in Spanish. So I decided to double down on it at the university of Arizona, the Spanish communication major.And when I was 27, I had a one in a million opportunity to come down here for a couple months to work at my friend's call center. And a couple months turned into four years at his center and 22 years total. In Costa Rica. And so I've been in business for 14 years with my own center and no one really decides to be CEO of a call center.You kind of fall into it, but since English is their second language in Costa Rica, and I found it fascinating, the artist speech I had to dive in and take it on to see what I could do.Positive Talk Radio has accepted Richard Blank's invitation to join the audience for a solid discussion regarding taking a chance by moving abroad and starting a company from scratch in Costa Rica. Kevin McDonald discusses with Richard advanced telemarketing strategy, conflict management, interpersonal soft skills, customer support, rhetoric, gamification, employee motivation and phonetic micro expression reading.Positive Talk Radio with Kevin McDonald"Evolving Ideas One Conversation At A Time"Positive Talk Radio podcast was originally started in 2003 by Kevin McDonald and friends on KKNW 1150 AM in Seattle with great guests, dynamic stories and interviews, plus new thoughts on a wide range of topics.
