Hello, Tess. Thank you for all these informations you share with us.
Do you think it’s a good time to search for new clients and send them translation offers with all these businesses in trouble?
Hi Magdalena,
I don’t think anyone should stop searching for new clients. However, you might have to pivot a bit and focus more on companies that still need translations right now. You also need to adapt the message to take the new situation into account and focus on being helpful.
Hello again.
Thank you for the reply. The thing is I want to switch to translations from another career and I don’t have that many clients yet. The virus came in an unfortunate moment, it seems.
Thank you again and take care 🙂
