Drew MacFadyen.. Thank you for this nice event. Unfortuantely, I can not find my pdf attendance for this event. Only 2015 is there in my profile and the details of this year but no certificate whatsoever for 2016. Could you do somethinf about this issue please. Waiting your reply.
I couldn't attend, but I wish I could watch the videos on demand. However, those who couldn't attend can't watch them, even if they have a paid membership. It does not make sense.
Ah, but only certain persons can access it? So it's something like an extranet, but wireless?

so, the smartcard makes sure you are the one who enters the VPN - which is an extranet - and not somebody else?

So, pricing and negotioation strategies, tips and tricks... Who wants to start sharing their approaches to negotiation?

yes, you must use it together with your password

Oh, yes. Of course. So, it's a more sophisticated way to enter an extranet, to make it safer to control who's entering it.

Let me share a graphic joke in connection with the topic that I personally like very much: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EjyEuPqNthY/TyuiOziFvFI/AAAAAAAAAzU/bLhxBboA4es/s1600/how+to+begin+negotiations+with+translation+agencies.jpg

About pricing: some purchase managers will always, always, ask a discount.

So, based on that joke, how do you deal with "nonsense"?
14:57 Jun 6, 2014
Lucia Leszinsky: 855539
All
and how do you deal with that Peter? What's your response?
14:57 Jun 6, 2014
Peter Motte: 30753
All
I don't give in.
14:58 Jun 6, 2014
Lucia Leszinsky: 855539
All
And what reason(s) do you give to not give in? How do you make them undrestand (or at least try to make them understand)?

excellent joke!

Another remark: if a client doesn't accept your price, it does not mean he has found somebody cheaper. He might just decide not to have the translation done.

Don't discuss prices. Never discuss a price with clients.

This might be the most important discussion of the day, and they all seem to steer away from it.

Thaf figures: in general, translators aren't commercially minded.
