GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Dutch term or phrase:
Zij denken mest en mee
English translation:
manure experts who really believe in customer service
Dutch to English translations [PRO] Agriculture / Cows
Dutch term or phrase:Zij denken mest en mee
It is just a title. But this phrase does not make sense for me. Normally there should be a preposition - denken over.
Or is it a phraseological unit? They think of manure and honey?
Please, help.
Explanation: based on your additional context. Or:
....who always put the customer first
...who really listen to their customers
...who take a proactive approach towards their customers

Klanten over werkwijze en service van YYY
Voor YYY houdt de serviceverlening niet op bij de staldeur. Integendeel. Wij komen u zoveel mogelijk tegemoet. Niet alleen door 24/7 voor u klaar te staan. Maar ook door gewoon goed naar u te luisteren en daar zonodig onze producten en service op af te stemmen. En als de spullen eenmaal zijn afgeleverd, houden we contact om zaken eventueel te optimaliseren. Hoe ervaren onze klanten dat eigenlijk?
“Ze kwamen ‘s ochtends om half 7 checken hoe het ging”
Xxxx Zzzz, veehouder met 180 melk- en kalfkoeien, reinigt met de YYY XZ200 mestrobot.
“In mijn nieuwe stal heb ik op advies van YYY de XZ200 mestrobot ingezet. In vergelijking met de XZ100 nog krachtiger, sneller, minder onderhoudsgevoelig en zuiniger met stroom. De roosters en dus ook de dieren blijven fantastisch schoon, de klauwgezondheid is goed en – constateerde de veearts - er is ook sprake van een stukje uiergezondheid. De robot doet onverstoorbaar z’n werk zonder de dieren te storen. Na aflevering kwamen ze van YYY nog een periode checken of alles goed ging. Echte enthousiastellingen, ze stonden om half 7 voor de deur! Heel goede service, van mij krijgen
Ok, thank you, but may I mail it to you both then through PROZ so to avoid publishing it here? I think, Johan is right. I translated such kind of text a few months ago and the general title was also something about solutions.
There are many ways of translating meedenken so any answers would just be a stab in the dark. If it's a title, then give us the gist of what comes under the title - or ask the client for further info. Your own suggestion doesn't work at all IMO, since being manure experts is separate from the meedenken idea.
We really need more context to be able to provide an answer that goes beyond an explanation. I'd be more inclined to use the term 'expert', rather than 'qualified', and I wouldn't say 'think together', but rather 'help find a solution'. Given the limited context I'm not going to try to put these ideas together to provide a full answer, however.
If I translate it as 'Qualified approach to think of manure together' Is it ok? Since it is some kind of marketing article I think I can afford some liberty in translation of titles.
Yes, they have created a kind of alliteration here: "denken mest" as in "think manure" and "denken mee" as in Johan's suggestion. Hard to translate, I agree.
It is not easy to translate this into English, but I think your target language is Russian, so an explanation would at any rate be more appropriate than a translation. From the limited context I'd say that they are trying to say that they are experts in the field of manure and that they are happy to help their clients find solutions (meedenken)
