[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/12″][vc_single_image image=”5865″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_column_text]Many translators around us call themselves professionals, but after talking to them for a while and connecting with them online you realise that they could do better. This talk is not about criticising. It’s about inspiring. From your quotes and invoices to your email address and signature, your business processes reveal a lot about you and how serious you are about what you do. One of the most common issues is that translators often sabotage themselves by having low confidence and self-esteem, by not really believing that what we deliver is special or valuable. In my talk, I’ll give examples of dos and don’ts of professional business practices and how they can lead you to high-value, direct clients.[/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]Vasiliki is a translator, interpreter and translation consultant, member of CIoL and ITI.
