Great event. I found presentations very illuminating

---

Very useful, as usual :) Got information about new version of SDL Trados'17.

---

Very interesting!

---

While not being able to attend each session for obvious reasons (I am thinking of taking a day off next year!), what I saw and heard being discussed was extremely useful for all translators. Thanks for organising this interesting and relevant event, and for the possibility of downloading individual presentations on demand!

---

I enjoyed each session I participated in. For the past 4 years, I have been waiting for this event.

---

It was stunning. The conference was really one of a kind. I really got much benefit from this conference. Thanks to you it was a unique conference hoping to have such an experience again. Many thanks Proz.

Time	From	To	Content
15:01 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	that's true, at least for me
15:01 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Are your prices part of your conditions?
15:01 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	I don't have a trick or strategy
15:02 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Ah, thats what you mean.
15:02 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	yes, I study the text, the offer of the client and simply reply with my acceptance or my own offer
15:03 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	if the offer is not good, I explain why, if it is for the technical content or other reason...
15:03 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I'm off for some coffee. I stay online.
15:04 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	i can negotiate up to some point, but if i find the offer tending towards offensive, i simply refuse it
15:05 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I'm back.
15:05 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	I think we should not consider an offer offensive, simply not accept it.
15:06 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I also start with taking a good look at the text. You have to. Some clients don't have a clue about what they're sending you. Even if they know, eg, that it's a technical text, or a medical text, they don't always seem to know that there are lots of sub specialisations.
15:06 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Do you have a maximum percentage in mind that you know you are willing to give up when negotiating with clients?
15:06 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	what someone consider offensive could be the affordable for other...
15:07 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I don't have a max percentage in mind.
15:07 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	true, Cesar, but i mean below that level
15:07 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I think he meant "reacting unfriendly" when he said "offensive"
15:07 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	a, sorry, my name is Vinita and i'm female
15:08 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Then why are you starlightaloud?
15:08 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Previous member of Girls Aloud?
15:08 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	no!
15:08 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	why nobody has webcam?
15:08 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Oh.
15:09 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	have, but don't like using it
15:09 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Ha, good question.
15:09 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	are you all so ugly? :)
