Prowly, the all in one tool for PR experts. I'm so excited because we are going to Costa Rica, San Jose to meet Richard Blank. Richard, welcome to the show.
Learn their language. It's a great way to show respect, keeps an open mind. It shows structured discipline and especially cognitive skills. Anybody that speaks a second language to my mind bears the mark of higher education. I believe the best way to retain a client, to get an upsell, to get a referral or best case scenario, exit interview, if you would fumble the football, is to speak with somebody and try to maintain that interpersonal communication and possibly resolve any sort of conflict management that you may have with clients or with yourself. The the first thing is when you're making a phone call is to use your anonymity for your advantage. You don't do that for the whole call. That's shady. But you get your first three seconds and the best thing that I would do is the company name Spike and ask how the company is doing. Hey, how's the Unnoticed Entrepreneur podcast doing today? We're good, thanks. Who are you? Hey Jim, so glad that you asked that. My name is Richard Blank. Who is Richard Blank? You know, I was going to tell you that my company is Costa Rica and then we keep buffer boomerang until we can, till we can even out the tone and then we have a conversation and that's where the micro expression reading comes in. A phonetic micro expression reading. Pause before names and numbers, use them in transitional sentences and tie downs. That's what you do. And if you can practice that dedicated practice, you'll have beautiful conversations with people. I think the greatest thing to do is show authenticity in the beginning. Oh, your due diligence. Look at a LinkedIn profile or website so at least you can custom make a voicemail email or as I would say a company name Spike when you're calling them and say better than Alex does. No offense, but you know I'm going to say better than you. And that took the way to buy me 30 seconds to get the past to pitch to speak to Jim.
