Remember fellow telemarketers, a tough sales prospect is more bark than bite. The Proven Entrepreneur podcast guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center

Don Williams: See. Okay. And then above that we have video con, you know, what we're doing. Um, and or audio I guess would be the next layer. And then video con, and then face-to-face. And obviously the more complex, the more valuable, the higher up that pyramid we want to go. And so think about proposing marriage. Be best to do that face-to-face and Um, but, uh, and if you're doing podcasts, you wanna do video conference, Richard Blank: we try to reduce as much misinterpretation as possible. Even though someone could be writing you something, the tone could be off the vocabulary, it's just there's sometimes they're lacking some sort of strategy or diplomacy. And so a lot of the times I will call up to follow up with a client just to make sure that I am understanding. Their message. And I'll be honest with you, a lot of times it's more bark than bite. They might write something or do it in bold cap and so be it. I can take it, but let you know. Lemme just see if you can back it up with how you say it, because a lot of the times they'll realize that they may have overextended themselves and they'll try to readjust that tone. And so as you say, if you don't know the client very well, it could be a very strange first impression that you wanna, you wanna get a second opinion on.
