All professional translators wishing to keep regular clients while meeting new ones should expand their translation business. Training, being up-to-date with translation software, networking, promotion, re-adjusting to translation market changes and gaining more experience should not only help translators maintain a good position in the market but also give them the chance to keep moving forward.

Me too, I had subscribed to this webinar but I wasn't able to log in and attend it in the end. I have already opened a support ticket but they give me a 7 min video of last year.
Is it possible to have the recorded video of THIS webinar? They didn't send me it by email as it happened for the other webinars I have attended up to now. Thanks Pierluigi

"I thought the webinar was very interesting and I learnt about many features on Proz that I wasn't aw..." Read moreare of, so definitely useful. The only thing I would say is that I had not realised the webinar would focus on how to expand your translation business through Proz, rather than in other ways too, so perhaps this could be added to the title (How to expand your translation business using Proz.com). Other than that, I was very happy with it!"
