Episode #251. I interview Richard Blank, the Founder, and CEO of Costa Rica’s Call Center based in San Jose, Costa Rica. Richard has set up his own business to help entrepreneurs enhance and maintain good communication with their clients.

From working at his friend’s customer service company, Richard decided to leave his former job and build his own business to pursue new opportunities. Costa Rica’s Call Center was established in 2007 and has been running for over 15 years and has 150 FTEs.

So he says, “If you are level and in control, throughout your day because a character is judged during the chaos.”
