I really liked that the speaker spoke in a clear and engaging way that was a pleasure to hear. Of course the contents were interesting as well, we had an overview of different possibilities for income diversification, their pros and cons. Very useful, thank you!

Time From To Content
14:51 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Ah, but only certain persons can access it? So it's something like an extranet, but wireless?
14:51 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Just a reminder that the last chat session before the virtual powwow stars in one minutre: Pricing and negotiation strategies http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/605/program/9476
14:51 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All See you all there!!!
14:52 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All wireless? you can use internet as always, wireless or not
14:52 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Yes, true.
14:52 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All ok, move to the next room! :)
14:54 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All hi all
14:54 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All so, the smartcard makes sure you are the one who enters the VPN - which is an extranet - and not somebody else?
14:54 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Hi César!
14:55 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All where are the others? Still at the bar?
14:55 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All So, pricing and negotioation strategies, tips and tricks... Who wants to start sharing their approaches to negotiation?
14:55 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All yes, you must use it together with your password
14:56 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All 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.
14:56 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All 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
14:57 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All About pricing: some purchase managers will always, always, ask a discount.
14:57 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All 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)?
14:58 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All excellent joke!
14:58 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All 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.
14:59 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Don't discuss prices. Never discuss a price with clients.
15:00 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All This might be the most important discussion of the day, and they all seem to steer away from it.
15:00 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Thaf figures: in general, translators aren't commercially minded.
15:01 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All I only politely state my conditions
