The MOOCH SAYS, "You guys rock".

The MOOCH says to Costa Rica's Call Center, "You guys rock". Anthony Scaramucci lavishes Costa Rica's Call Center anniversary with the illustrious Mooch. https://youtu.be/5y6v1ovIMSU The former White House Communications Director begin the video with style, "Hey, to the COSTA RICA'S CALL CENTER staff". His famous tenure of six days, from his unofficial start date on July 25 until his unexpected dismissal on July 31, is the shortest in history for that post. The MOOCH shattered the past accomplishment of 11 days that had been held by Jack Koehler during the Reagan administration which made him an instant legend and cult figure for his candid nature and sharp intellect on multiple subjects. "From Richard and Grace, giving you a cool shout out" is how the Mooch acknowledges two bosses that can survive in the competitive outsourcing industry. Anthony was awarded #85 in Worth magazine's "Power 100: The 100 Most Powerful People in Global Finance and can clearly notice leaders of industry when they cross his humble path. "Congratulations on that tenth year anniversary in business" This statement given from a visionary whom, back in 2005, took the chance and started Skybridge Capital. The Mooch knows first-hand how to run a business for over twenty years and can sincerely share his joy with other organization’s with stability and endurance that hit business milestones. 2011 was a great year for Mr. Scaramucci. He rocked it and won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the year award New York Award in the Financial Services category. Anyone who has that type of high goals in business can also appreciate the style and grace of the building that hosts the magic and innovation. The Mooch shows his taste for our vintage location "Loving the classic art deco building and neon marquees" "You guys rock" is exactly how the Mooch refers to CCC. He is known for his straight shooter thoughts and once tweeted, "I sometimes use colorful language." Work life balance is key to the Mooch. He shows the fun side of life when he mentions our office perks, "Employee arcade, 11 pinball machines". "That 50's cafe is sensational" is another compliment from a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother house Season 2. "And what about that old school Mercedes Limo for VIP guests" Classic 300D Limousines join the exclusive vehicle fleet of diplomatic embassies and the era’s top celebrities and social elite. The Mooch served as the national finance co-chair for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign and supported the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. He can relate towards style and comfort in selected transportation for influential individuals that require the best. Anthony showed his cognitive skills by graduating from Tufts University and doubling down on a diploma from Harvard Law School. He reiterates his approval of a winning business model when he says, "Wishing you an awesome tenth year anniversary celebration from the Mooch". The video ends with a smile and a two finger sendoff kiss to your fans in Central America. The entire staff at COSTA RICA'S CALL CENTER appreciates the time and effort in making this shout out. The TICOS now refer to you as a "popular senior in high school that teaches freshman how to be cool." ¡PURA VIDA MOOCH! http://www.costaricascallcenter.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/23284906585

RANDALL CUNNINGHAM scores a huge running touchdown play with COSTA RICA'...

The video begins in star studded fashion, "Ah, hello. Ha ha." "It's Randall Cunningham calling." CCC favorite NFL QB, Randall Wade Cunningham Sr played in the NFL for 16 seasons, primarily with the Philadelphia Eagles. "Is this the Costa Rica's Call Center?" Not only was Randall the most exciting QB, our nearshore outsourcing services can always score a touchdown by closing the deal with clients. "Are there any Randall Cunningham fans over there?" Too many to count. He has a huge fan base in the Central America BPO industry. Cunningham was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2016. Cunningham was also inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame in 2000. "Is Richard around?" Yes and been in CR for the past 20 years as a leading telemarketing trainer. An actual fan from Philadelphia that has seen you play live in Veterans Stadium at the northeast corner of Broad Street and Pattison. "Anyway, I wanted to give an Eagles hello to the staff there from the favorite QB RC." The video concludes with a reminder of greatness, "#12 Philadelphia Eagles." "I heard that you celebrated your 12th year anniversary in business." "Come on...That is what I am talking about!" "Congratulations. I wish many more on you. Much more success." Feeling as if the fans and organization did not fully appreciate his contributions to the team's success, as well as being unhappy with his role as a back-up, Cunningham retired from football after the 1995 season.He left Philadelphia with the third most rushing yards in Eagles history, with 4,482, On August 15, 2002, Cunningham signed a one-day contract with the Philadelphia Eagles to officially announce his retirement.CCC will continue to be a leader in the call centre industry and will set the bar in Latin America. "I hear about the art deco building that you guys are kicking it in." In his final 10 NFL seasons, Cunningham played in only 80 games, but finished his 16-year career completing 2,429 of his 4,289 attempts for 29,979 yards and 207 touchdowns, with 134 interceptions. He was sacked 484 times, third-most all time behind (2nd) John Elway with 516 sacks, and (1st) Brett Favre with 525 sacks. Our beautiful structure located on the corner of 11th avenue and 23rd street in Barrio Aranjuez. The best must perform in the most impressive structures. As Randall graced the field in the most exciting stadiums, our telemarketers can feel proud working in a positive work culture and location. Yep, the neon marquees." Cunningham also rushed for 4,928 yards on 775 carries and 35 touchdowns. He retired after the 2001 season as the NFL's all-time leader in rushing yards and carries for the quarterback position, (a record broken in 2011 by Michael Vick), and tied for fourth with Steve Grogan in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback . All great names should be displayed bright and proud. CCC has the sharpest neon lights that enhance our telemarketing experience. "Ah ha, the Jukebox arcade. That is what I am talking about!" Cunningham also averaged 30.6 rushing yards per game during his career—second most all-time for quarterbacks, behind Michael Vick. WE encourage a fun work environment and have supplied the call centre with a jukebox for each floor and our onsite 1950s cafe. "And the American pinball" Work life balance is essential and has contributed to a decrease in attrition and increase in production. A gamification call centre culture was created at CCC and has assisted in building a successful work force that is able to bond.CCC has the largest collection of Pinball in Central America with 11 machines. "The 1984, that's when I cam e into the league, Mercedes Limo! We call it a Benzo." In July 2012, Cunningham was named the 23rd greatest quarterback of the NFL's post-merger era, according to Football Nation. Our clients are met at SJO for a luxury ride in comfort and style. The video continues with a dose of international relations, "Anyway, I am supposed to say Pura Vida #12. I don't know what that means, but I hope you do. Ha Ha." The ticos love when people acknowledge the laid back "pure life " culture. It can also be noted on phone calls with clients where the telemarketers make the conversation a first call resolution and positive experience. "G-d bless you all." In March 2013, Cunningham authored Lay It Down: How Letting Go Brings Out Your Best . The book shows readers how to work out the “lay it down” principle in all phases of life. in Conclusion, Randall ends the personal Cameo with one final thought, "Shout out from Randall Cunningham. Philadelphia Eagles. have a good one. Much success."

Broadway star JARROD SPECTOR has a huge fan base with COSTA RICA'S CALL ...

The video begins in a first class style and delivery, "What's up Costa Rica's Call Center crew? "He made his Broadway debut in Les Misérables, playing Gavroche. Afterward, he studied economics at Princeton University and then returned to acting before completing his degree. "This is Jarrod Spector. Now listen, before I spent most of my life on Broadway, I was the pain in the as little brother in a friend group. And, always tagging along with my brother's friends. And that group included, Mr. Richard Blank." Jarrod was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania .He was a slick little brother that never told his parents about the parties we had in his house back in high school . He kept the code of silence. "So, I am not surprised to hear that he is the best boss to the crew down there." In 2007, Jarrod joined the 2nd San Francisco cast of Jersey Boys. Spector played Frankie Valli, a role he would play later in Chicago and on Broadway. Jarrod being a lead of a cast can relate to a leader of a company. Both set the pace, are 100% dedicated and can follow through as a professional. Just like acting, offshore BPO is very competitive and only those with endurance can make it big. "Listen, I have not been down there myself, but I have seen some pictures. But man, what a sweet set up." As Jarrod dominated Broadway when he was in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical as Barry Mann from January 2014 to February 2016. Attractive venues and pleasing theatres can really make an experience memorable. In addition, a positive work environment can also produce the best nearshore customer service agents that are able to act like they care about the client. CCC has the best company culture in Central America. "The got the art deco building with the neon marquees." Naturally Jarrod can appreciate style since he has performed in some of the most beautiful theatres and arenas. He received a nomination for a 2014 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical and a nomination for the 2014 Outer Critics Circle Award, Outstanding Featured Actor In A Musical for his portrayal of Barry Mann. The call centre located on the corner of 11th avenue and 23rd street in Barrio Aranjuez. "You got tunes on the jukebox" Since we upgraded our rockolas, we are able to download music and Jarrod has a very large selection of his tunes at the ready. We have Jarrod's studio LPs along with many live performances for our staff to enjoy while eating in the company's 1950s cafe. He has quite the fan base here in central America. In 2016 he participated in the recording of the demo English version of the Death Note: The Musical. He sang L ‘s parts. " and that arcade with the pinball machines. No really, can I come down and like challenge on the Jurassic Park pinball machine? Specifically, because I grew up with that machine and I really think that I can hang." CCC has the best gamification call center culture in Latin America. Our game room is 100% free play and we encourage our agents to try American Flipper pinball for the first time during their breaks and lunch. The fact that we both own the same pinball machine is a good sign. "But, only of you pick me up at the airport in that ridicules vintage 1984 Mercedes Limo. Is that something we can work out? Cause if so, I am coming and I can't wait." Jarrod knows that all special guests are met at SJO for a luxury ride and he is well deserving of a comfortable ride to the beach. When a star arrives at their destination in a smooth limo, it can really make the entrance a memorable experience. From 2018 to 2019 Spector starred as Sonny Bono in The Cher Show at the Neil Simon Theatre on Broadway. He always arrived to the shows in style. "Congratulations on 12 years. What a fantastic accomplishment. And I hope to see you all soon." Spector and his wife Kelli Barrett perform a cabaret act together titled “This Is Dedicated: Music’s Greatest Marriages”, for example in March 2017 at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. From one strong accomplishment to another, we appreciate the fact that you have acknowledge our hard work and discipline. We wish you continued success.

The "Reggie!" bars were handed to fans as they walked into Yankee Stadium. Jackson hit a home run, and when he returned to right field the next inning, fans began throwing the Reggie bars on the field in celebration.
