SUMMARY:Pricing Primer
DESCRIPTION:Attend this webinar to unlock key strategies to enhance your bottom line through effective pricing.\nIf you run a for-profit business\, profit maximization is your primary objective. Pricing is a major driver of profitability and an important tool in every business owner’s toolkit. Larger companies can afford to maintain dedicated pricing teams that design sophisticated pricing solutions to extract more of the value their companies create. On the other hand\, small businesses often rely on simple rules of thumb and cost-driven pricing\, which hardly offer a full picture of how much to charge for one’s services. The speaker will address customer- and competition-driven pricing as well as costs that are not relevant for pricing. Of the many pricing strategies available to boost your bottom line\, he will discuss vertical and horizontal product lines (a “menu of options”) and bundling. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn how to:\n\nStart your client relationship off on the right foot.\nUnderstand the importance of pricing as a lever of value extraction and profitability.\nDetermine what you always should and absolutely shouldn’t consider when pricing your services.\nLook at every pricing scenario through the lens of the three Cs (cost\, customer\, and competition).\nDetermine what “menu of options” may best serve the different needs and budgets of your clients.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nDaniel Sebesta brings over 20 years of expertise working at the intersection of language\, business\, and technology. He has an MBA with a specialization in pricing and strategy and is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Linguists as well as a sworn translator in Czechia and Germany. In addition to his translation work\, he advises language services providers\, toolmakers\, and localization buyers on questions concerning pricing\, profitability\, and language technology. He is the administrator of ATA’s Language Technology Division.

SUMMARY:Certifying Translations for the U.S. Market: A Practical Guide
DESCRIPTION:Explore the intricate landscape of certification in the U.S. translation market and delve into related crucial aspects.\nIn the U.S. market\, ATA certification is a valuable credential.

We will also explore the certification requirements established by various states and judicial authorities for written translations. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nDetermine if you can certify a translation that you’ve edited yourself.\nExplore certification options beyond ATA for U.S.-based translators.\nNavigate the process of obtaining an apostille for a certified translation.\nFind out in which cases certification statements need to be notarized.\nUnderstand the role of a notary public signing and affixing their official seal on the certification statement.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nRobert Sette\, CT has worked as a professional translator for over 30 years and holds ATA certification in Spanish\, French\, Portuguese\, and Italian into English\, in addition to working from Catalan into English. He has lived and studied languages and linguistics in Spain\, France\, and Russia. He specializes in commercial\, legal\, and technical translation.
