Magda Phili: Bucking the trend of self-promotion (and still obtain the results you want)

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/12″][vc_single_image image=”6799″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_column_text]Within the translation industry, we communicate in a plethora of different and interesting ways. In other words, we talk a lot. It can be on Proz, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. We want to be heard. Badly. But the methods and styles of online communication we use, by nature contain self-promotional messages. As long as self-promotion is not pursued directly but becomes a result of constructive discourse and contribution for the benefit of our colleagues, and the industry as a whole, there can be no harm.

But if our message revolves persistently around ourselves and our achievements, would this help us gain more credibility and consequently more business?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”blue” border_width=”2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”9/12″][vc_column_text]Magda is an Italy-based Greek native translator specializing in law, health and transcreation.
