Why your nice profile isn’t attracting any clients
You have all the winning cards to thrive in the translation business. Formal qualifications. Check. A wide range of services. Check. A website that you crafted in order to boost your visibility. Check. You are meticulous, resourceful and have reasonable experience. You even subscribed for a couple of industry associations. Check, check, check. Yet, you still struggle to hit decent projects, acquire regular clients and quit submitting your CV ten times a day to every living business and language service company out there.
Why? Why me? Why NOT me?
The reason behind that empty inbox isn’t your lack of experience. It is the MESSAGE. It is not about you. It never was. It is about your clients. I will help you shape your message in order to make you speak the same language as your clients: No matter how many languages you already speak, you need to learn this one. Learn to focus on a specific industry and its motivations, know your potential clients and craft an irresistible message.
This talk is scheduled for Thursday, 19 April 2018.
