Poll: With how many new clients do you work per month?

One new customer last year Feb 10

Even though my 2011 turnover was up on 2010, I only actually worked with one new customer, who probably won't be coming back.

It's not that my translation was bad (it wasn't), or that the finance-oriented client is dodgy (quite the reverse - very professional, prompt payer etc), but the job was a one-off wine translation and I have no intention of moving into finance

All my other work came from repeat clients, some of whom have been "repeating" for twenty years now.

Fix the poll Feb 10

Not to be impish but the poll has Other N/A and >8, which doesn't really make sense

Other. Clients who? Feb 10

Those whom I get my subsistence from (clients of my purse), or final clients (clients of my CAT tools dictionaries and skills)? As for the latter ones, I am afraid they become less diverse.
