I mean, this guy, and I don't tell this story often, but his name was Ruby. He had a gray van with no windows, the short Chevy van to the creepy one. That sounds so shady. And my mom, I was like, I swear I was 14 maybe. My mom would let me leave with this guy for four hours a night on school nights. And sell candy. and sell caricatures. I did that for East Abington Little League, a box of 100 back in the late 70s. I would knock on the door back and ride on Abington, dollar a thing for the uniforms, but good for you. Well, you're okay now, so obviously nothing bad happened, but for 14 years old, they probably loved you. They probably bought two candy bars. They must have. I did something right, man, but I was just doing it, right? And thanks for asking, by the way. Share a little bit about me, but that particular part of my life, I never thought it would have the impact that it did. It surprised me later on. In fact, surprised me so much, I just had this epiphany, and then I decided to put it on my LinkedIn as one of my jobs. Straight Shooter: The Basics of Successful Communication A lot of the times, I like to not be a devil's advocate, but let's be a straight shooter. If somebody only has 400 phone numbers, that's not enough to last the month. Maybe they don't have a script. Maybe the tone of their script is too aggressive. There's no rebuttals in case someone asks a question. No email template, no voicemail template, no pipeline. So I'm going to say, yo, bodies, I mean, this is where we're beginning. And so a lot of the times, it's really working backwards. Unique Training Methods Using Arcade and Storytelling I start with dessert first and you know what your favorite class was back in the day. It was recess. Let's call a spade a spade. You were kind enough to mention my, my pastime and my collection of antique pinball machines and retro arcade machines. And so what I like to do prior to the first training class is to have the dozen agents out there in the arcade playing pinball with one another in air hockey. It can reduce their stress. They start bonding through play. They make friends. And then when they're in the training room, they're now contributing more than just absorbing. And I try to do checkpoints with people. I like the triple gun trainings. Just don't give me an answer back, Chad. I'm going to expect you to stand up in front of the class, hold your paper in the left, use your right hand because of illustrators. It gives you another 15% of expression and helps you with your pausing and pacing. And I'm just trying to triple building confidence. But I got something even better for you. When people come in prior to working at the company, they fill out a resume, OK? And they put in all the bells and whistles. But man, that's what everybody does. So I'm going to say, Chad, why don't you turn the paper over and give me three paragraphs of a coming of age moment. I want to see your grammar, your vocabulary in English. I also want to see when you beat up a bully or if you saved a kitten out of a tree or if you happen to do both in one day. Why do I do this? Because I want to see depth. I also want to make a nickname for you. And also on a rainy Wednesday, I want to tell you that you're the kitty saving champ just to give you that second wind and remind you of where you are and where you're going. And so I can separate a lot of people that want to be promoted immediately without showing any sort of merit. I would prefer to have people without any bad habits. They could speak the English. They just don't know a predictive dialer or a CRM. I can teach that in five minutes. https://youtu.be/gRQ_cc9JVv8 https://youtu.be/j0PeLXCXloI Fire your Boss Fridays, Lisa Hart, Chad Passa, 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
