Description:

Being a freelance/small business professional translator/interpreter involves much more than the tasks an in-house translator. Various other skills are needed to obtain, retain, and maintain customers, and build the business further. Jeff will share his experience from the client-side, the translation service arena, the project management viewpoint, and the translation sales and marketing perspective, in order to provide us with a survival kit of skills for the challenging role of a freelancer.
