  • Identifying your key clients
  • Understanding WHO your clients are (not as obvious as you think :))
  • Grasping the difference between selling translations and providing a service
  • Finding out your clients’ values
  • Finding out your own values
  • Identifying and then bridging the gap between your values and those of your clients
