Description:

With their strategies and resources, agencies always seem to be on the winning side of the client's research process. But what businesses really need goes beyond multilingual projects, busy PMs and extra costs. Businesses come in all shapes and sizes, that's true, but all of them like to work and collaborate with skilled professionals rather than automated computers.

In this presentation we will see how to find direct clients for your translation business and create a growing portfolio of contacts.

We will see how to use social media management tools, social media, content marketing, networking and we will peek behind the scenes: where to find clients, in which way approach them and do the follow-up without sounding too pushy. We'll have a look at the right communicative approach while sharing tips & tricks.
