Session 1: The Challenge with being international…
Working with international direct clients can be rewarding financially and professionally. But there can also be challenges.

This presentation provides a simple 7 step model to securing and maintaining international clients based on my 20 years of international selling within the translation industry and the hints and tips I gathered from other professionals along the way.
