In general my long-standing customers (agencies and direct clients) receive a lower rate than newer clients, even though my rates are probably higher than average. Anyway, nowadays I tend to quote each project individually, based on language combination, field of expertise, number of words, technicality, deadline, document type and other practical criteria.

My rates (in GBP, EUR or USD) have stayed the same, but because of the fall in the value of GBP after the referendum to leave the EU, I get more for any jobs paid for in EUR or USD.
A very small consolation for the disaster of "Brexit".

This has also been my experience.

Hi,
The rates have remained the same because of cut-throat competition between agencies to offer as low a price as possible.
Regards,
Devanathan.

| The same in USD and EUR | Jul 2, 2017 |
Although I can negotiate better rates for specific jobs, my standard rates stayed the same in USD and EUR.
But I always negotiate new standard rates in my local currencies (ARS and BRL) at least once a year to reflect exchange rates. Otherwise, it would have no meaning accepting jobs in my local currencies.

They have generally remained the same, although several clients are trying all kinds of "tricks" to reduce them, and I lost a few clients because I refused to lower my rates, as well.

I don't get to negotiate my rates with international agencies, and they have remained the same. I do notice that I'm picking up fewer new agency clients. They seem like lovely people interested in starting a new relationship, but when I quote my regular rates I never hear from them again.
