Summary:Do you want to effectively search for and work with direct clients? I will share with you the results of my research (after speaking to my current customers). After this course you will be able to better understand the needs of your target audience and offer solid solutions to your customers. You will learn to look at the translation from the client's perspective, speak their language and provide effective and high-end solutions to their requests.
Description
In one hour learn how to add value to your translation services and become a Translator who offers unique benefits and values to the customers.

As Freelance Translators we are used to look at translation services as process or simply as a text to be translated and proofread.
After focusing on cooperation with direct clients for the last two years and building a translation company of my own, I got to realize that direct clients look at translation services from an absolutely different perspective.

So, recently I conducted a small research and asked my current clients which values and solutions they see in translation. The results surprised me, because in every field people see translation differently. In this webinar I will share with your my hands-on experience and precious conclusions which I made after this communication. This helped me to become more client-oriented and significantly improve my business. If you want to achieve new goals and become a really appreciated professional when working with direct clients, join us at the webinar!
