Aaron KleinAt Work Assisted we all come to work every day because we want to solve a problem in the ecommerce industry. Ecommerce companies put all of their effort towards pushing their products and bringing a consistent stream of new customers. This is what gets an online business off the ground and why marketing is so imperative. While online sellers acquire the customers, the most important aspect is to retain the customers and have them coming back. How will sellers do this?  Many use call centers but customers require a lot of care and attention. Our mission is clear to bring customer experience to a new level. Doing the job is not enough, we can only exist by being resourceful and caring about the bottom line.Work AssistedTelereiDave SwansonWebsiteBook Free Chapter of my Bestselling Book? Aaron Klein Final.mp3[00:00:03] Welcome to Goat Wrestling Perseverance podcast with your host, Dave Swanson.

This is great. I'm super pumped to talk about the company so everyone knows how super important that is to build the skills efficiently. And the more opportunity you have and the less you know you have to pay for things, the more you can reach. And that's why a lot of people turn to outsourcing now. A lot of people try to use up work free up all these online virtual places. And while, you know, they could be phenomenal. But if you're really trying to scale a business and you want to use them as part of their infrastructure in a way where you can delegate give over things, sometimes it's important to give over to a company that can handle that for you. So would much bigger companies will use lean call centers and even sometimes medium, even small companies will use call centers and outsourcing overseas to the Philippines? So very short. The story was that I was working originally. I was hired by an energy provider. They called up and they sold third party gas. And, you know, use your home, use the utility of the town, you know, gives you your scarce supply. So this company was a third party gas supplier. Now they had an Indian call center. And what happened was this Indian call center was not working with them too well. And they had customer service problems. There were so many issues. And, you know, the owner wanted to hire me to manage the call center in India. But he wanted me to be here at the same time. So it was a very interesting phone phenomena because he wanted me to work for his energy companSupport the show

So please go ahead. Tony Teravainen: [00:01:06] Yeah, well, it's it's been a crazy ride. And the book is definitely not my idea. It's people that I talked to that did just their eyes kind of start rolling around their head when they've asked my story. And they're like, I just can't wait to see how this all plays out. And I think it comes from the craziness, comes from the different episodes and just how they're tied together through your theme of perseverance. And it started as a military kid. My dad is also a career air force. So I think we moved eight or nine times. I went to eight different schools. And you always show up, you know, a week into school.

As the audience knows for this podcast, we jump right into the story. And it sounds like something that for this audience we always hear about when people go to troubled times. But it's about something where you're going to take it and keep moving forward and see those opportunities. So I'm excited to hear this story. Jason Vana: [00:01:09] Yeah, so basically the story is this I in 2006, I had my first opportunity to go on a trip to Europe where I was going with a group of people who were looking at partnering into a church planting project over in the Czech Republic. And so it was kind of an exploratory trip. We were just seeing like what this would entail, what it would be like meeting some of the pastors that we would work with. And honestly, for the first trip, I was. It was awesome. I loved it. Like I hated the flying part was petrified of flying. But I was like, man, I'm going to do this because this is a great opportunity. And really, I went into it like this is going to be my one and only trip. Not going to do it again. Like this is just a once in a lifetime opportunity. And when we came back, we decided we were going to be part of this this church planning project. So in 2007, I went back and again I was like, OK, last trip, this probably isn't gonna go beyond. This was part of a leadership conference helping to train pastors to be church planters and helping to find these people who would be church planners to start these new churches. And it was during that trip that I met a youth pastor who was like, hey, you should come and lead a trip to work with my youth. And I was like, sure, why not? Another excuse to go back to Europe. I'll take it. And basically, since then, since 2006, I've gone back to the Czech Republic at least once a year. In the lastSupport the show

As we know, we go wrestling perseverance, podcast, the audience. We jump right into the story. And I'm pretty sure that they're going to be impressed with this. Tom Beighley: [00:01:08] All right. Well, you know, I thought a lot about this. You know, I've teased each other about, you know, picking one because there's so many in my life to pick from. I don't know if that's just a sign of what's to come or not, but neither here nor there. So the storm and to share with you today is kind of a it's a it's a little emotional at times, somewhat to try to steer clear of that. But so this is about two and a half years ago. I left actually about three years ago, I left the company that we worked together at because we had lost a lot of work. It was contract based. So we fell out of a lot of good faced and clients and moved into a role with a former boss of mine. We started a company doing the same thing, strategic consulting for the government, mainly Department of Defense. And we made a go at it. It wasn't necessarily a failed endeavor, but one that we just decided to dissolve after a period time where lack of work was just lack of work. There's a lot of big firms that have, you know, as you know, have a lot of tenure and have a lot of relationships with those clients. So not having that big company reputation in front of us and having access to those people, it was just something that I was a little bit more difficult to crack than we anticipated. So anyway, during that time, I was going through a pretty rough patch. My marriage won't get too far into those details, but there was just a lot of things going on that weren't generally acceptable. There was it was kind of a torture period for me. We had moved to Florida, as a matter of fact, to to take a contract working with that company. And it wasn't the place I wanted to be. In fact, I was there for two months. My wife left and went back here to San Antonio and started bartending or staying in L.A.. And, you know, kind of just just doing things that I didn't think was consistent with, you know, a spouse. And it really beat me up, really tore me up. It was pretty, you know, like I said, it was torture to me. I ended up moving back and tried to patch things up, gotten to have started a streamlined life a little bit, picked up some sales and supplements and things just weren't getting any better. They spiraled out of control. As a matter of fact, it's a lot of alcohol aSupport the show

As we know in the audience for wrestling perseverance, we jump right into the story. And so, Mark, I've heard this story a little bit on the Ted X, but love the show. That's what the audience. So mid summer 2002, I'm in the doctor's office once again, post second knee surgery, and the doctor tells me it's over. You're done, buddy. Your career verbatim, your career as a fighter is over. You could could become a very good swimmer. And I'm staring at him dazed and confused. I'm hearing it. And I'm also not hearing it. I'm seeing him. And I'm also seeing my my career, my plans, my, my, my, my, my, my fight skills. Just go out the window. Walked out, limped out. The the front steps of the hospital and gotten a cab to drive over to get another MRI across town. Bangkok traffic, rain coming down monsoon. Bangkok rain coming down. And I I remember it very clearly still because it was a bit surreal. I was looking out the window, the rain coming down like something out of a movie day. And and I'm I'm thinking about what all this means to me currently. And I'm also having another side conversation that's a little bit more elevated than my normal thought process. I'm thinking about all the things I'm losing out on and how I can't go home now because I I I won't go back home and not be that fighter. OK, negations acknowledge. So what will I'd rather stay in Thailand and be a nobody in a strange land and then give up that identity. And and while I'm thinking that about how my life is ruined, I'm also thinking a little bit, a little bit, quote, unquote, higher. This this story, this experience will define the rest of your life. And I noticed that thought show up. And I said to myself, that's strange. That's weird. And what I ended up persevere. Persevering is a horribly entrenched victim mentality, which in my opinion, my personal and professional opinion is the number one thing for someone to unlearn.

SUPPORT THIS PODCAST!Army Women’s Tennis Coach, Paul Peck took an unconventional path to arrive at his current profession. As a young man, growing up in Chicago, he excelled at many sports before finally settling on tennis and playing in high school and college. After graduating from the University of Illinois, he entered the work force. Failing to find fulfillment working a 9-5 job, he enlisted in the Army and contracted for Officer Candidate School as a means of paying off his college debt and guaranteeing a Master’s Degree. His first duty assignment was Germany, where he was assigned to an 8 inch Artillery Battery. He trained to fight the Soviets and witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall. Upon returning to the United States he was again assigned to the last Regular Army 8 inch self-propelled howitzer unit. The day after he was promoted to Captain, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and his unit immediately made preparations to deploy. A month after he made Captain, he was placed in command of an artillery battery and was enroute to the Persian Gulf. Before the conventional ground war started, he participated in artillery raids. Once the ground war started, his battery followed the advance and provided support to the rapidly advancing coalition forces. After returning from the war, he applied to teach in the Department of Physical Education at West Point and received his Masters from the University of Illinois. While teaching in DPE, he returned to the sport he loved, and helped out as an Officer Representative and an Assistant Coach on the Women’s Tennis Team. Coach Peck was a perfect fit for the Women’s Tennis Program, and shortly after pinning on Major’s rank, he resigned from the Army and accepted a civilian job as the Women’s Tennis Head Coach. He has been coaching at West Point since 1995. In 2012, he received the Mike Krzyzewski Teaching Character Through Sport Award.Dave SwansonWebsiteBook Goat Wrestling Perseverance Clothes Free Chapter of my Bestselling Book? Support the show
