Tess Whitty, Swedish translator and marketing guru, interviewed me recently for her Marketing Tips for Translators podcast. I demonstrate why I am not an interpreter at around minute 17 when I completely blank on the word for accordion. I hope you enjoy it.
As Tess explains on her website:
Many clients depend upon us freelance translators, and it is important to have a plan for worst case scenarios. This year has also been a year of many natural disasters and unfortunately colleagues passing away too soon. I was very happy to see that today’s guest held a presentation on contingency and crisis planning during the last ATA conference. In this episode she is sharing all her best tips.
Important things covered in this episode:
-
What contingency planning and crisis management is
-
Questions to ask ourselves to plan for unforeseen events
-
Things to have in place if we would get sick or pass away
-
How to deal with a crisis
-
How to protect our business
