I want to help my listeners and one request I have had is more information on how to market your translation services locally. In episode 11 we discussed Business to Business Marketing and leafleting with Sara Colombo. In this episode I have the pleasure of talking to Judy Jenner, who together with her Twin Sister have the company Twin Translations. They only have direct clients and most of them are local. They have also published the book “The Entrepreneurial Linguist” with business tips for translators. Here, Judy gives us tips on networking and marketing our services locally.

In this episode we discuss the following:

• What an entrepreneurial linguist is
• How Judy markets her translation services locally
• The three most effective methods to marketing translation services locally
• Mistakes when marketing translation services locally

Useful links mentioned in this episode:

• The Entrepreneurial Linguist – the book
• Translation Times – Judy and Dagmar’s blog with business tips for translators

I hope you enjoyed the episode! Lots of practical tips and wisdom here. If you did, don’t forget to share it with a colleague or friend. Do you know anyone you would like featured in an interview?
