Leadership with Empathy & The Decline of Job Training Well, first and foremost, thank you so much for mentioning that. I have learned something being an owner of a company that you do have leverage. You can always hire, fire, make or break somebody. And so it should be humbling for the fact that somebody wants to come and add wind in your sails and you're only as good as the people that support you. And so for me, it's so important to make sure they have their dignity and that you show empathy. and that they're just not treated like a number or a robot, that these are investments and these individuals should be given delegation so they can grow within your company. So it's very important for me to see how high and how far these individuals can fly with me. So I'm always their biggest fan, always putting one in their sales. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Well, I have a story to tell. So I have, I'm an independent contractor. Um, And I get different contracts for different jobs. And I am learning that the, I don't even know what to call it. The people that are doing these 1099 jobs are getting lazy. And what I mean by getting lazy is the training. They don't even train me no more. What they're doing is sending you links to videos and you train yourself. I done had five contracts do that to me. You train yourself, they send you these videos, you look at these videos, you train yourself and then you go out on the floor. I don't agree with that. I feel like just because you're a contractor doesn't mean that you're gonna be able to go through and just do it. You still need that training. And I'm glad you don't do that, Mr. Blank. https://youtu.be/TJ92rBNNIkw https://youtu.be/ulqS8ZgEg1A?si=rEa12DfGqTHZYAjX https://youtu.be/gen4mLeCq8I Richard Blank hired bassist Garry Gary Beers of INXS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieGjN5H4xPQ Sipping with Maria & Tika Gee podcast, 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 Richard's journey in the call center space is filled with twists and turns.
