Como educar clientes ideais
Mar 29, 202300:16:50Tap to summarizeHoje vamos tocar em um assunto que parece ser meio espinhoso para profissionais do idioma. Já ouvimos muitos colegas dizendo que educar clientes não é responsabilidade nossa; que devemos prestar os nossos serviços de acordo com as diretrizes e práticas da clientela. Porém, muitos de nós acreditamos que faz parte do processo conscientizar a clientela sobre o que a gente faz, porque muitos clientes não entendem bem como tradução e interpretação funcionam. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Deixe uma mensagem de voz Mande um email Episódios original em inglês: Client Education e Ideal Clients Crédito das imagens do Pexels: Yan Krukau *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* O "Cantinho para tradutores" é a versão brasileira do podcast "Translation Confessional", uma produção do Tools and Technology in Translation, uma iniciativa educacional criada por Rafa Lombardino para auxiliar profissionais do idioma.
