Costa Rica’s Call Center is a bilingual call center with high caliber college educated employees. Richard explains that ecotourism, cost of living, and culture are major advantages to living in Costa Rica compared to countries such as The United States. Costa Rica’s Call Center was created when Richard worked at a friend’s call center in Costa Rica teaching English. The work was something he gravitated to and decided he wanted to start his own call center business venture. Richard explains they work to fulfill the needs of the client and agent by providing support, training, and adequate hiring.

Richard explains that he helps make his employees feel more confident in their language skills and broaden their vocabulary to aid them in their work duties. Costa Rica’s Call Center sets itself apart from other competitors as they are bilingual with an incredible skill set that also upholds the reserved values of Costa Rica. Richard explains a misconception about working with Costa Rica’s Call Center is getting a cheaper price because that is the price commonly used by other call centers in different countries such as India. Another misconception is the being able to partner with the company and not blurring ideals between the two such as using profanities when they do not do so as things work differently between different areas.

Hi! I'm Josh Elledge, founder of UpMyInfluence. Thanks for wanting to learn a bit more about who we are and about our purpose!


I BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS A MESSAGE THAT CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT THE WORLD
I help thoughtful business leaders to completely book out their sales calendar with high-level, premium customers and partners, by leveraging their authority and harnessing the power of relationships.

If you have authority in your industry, STOP competing with amateurs in the 'red ocean' of spammy lead generation. Lead with generosity instead.

I founded my last company SavingsAngel.com - which I scaled to 7-figures in annual sales with zero paid ads. I truly believe like Robert Stephens, founder of GeekSquad who said, "Advertising is the tax you pay for being unremarkable." I chose, instead, to lead in generosity through more than 2,500 media appearances.

Armed with remarkable success in PR, I served pro-bono in my local startup community - mostly with military-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned small businesses - helping to co-create the same success I had for many years. This led to unintentionally launching UpMyInfluence in 2014 as a media consulting and PR agency.

After a few short years, we discovered that our approach to gaining PR for clients was far more valuable in gaining them sales and growing consistent and predictable revenue.

When our first B2B sales client scored six figures in sales in 90 days without paid ads, we realized we had something extremely powerful in our hands.
