This hands-on 3 hour workshop will boost your marketing and sales: Create unique marketing emails about you and your business that makes you stand out from the crowd, generate leads that value your work as their preferred translator / localizer, launch Facebook campaigns that make new customers want you, enjoy a customer pipeline that remains full.
Description
Build the perfect prospect list for your sales pipeline with proven list building tactics for translation professionals.
Individual translator, independent consultant, or language services provider alike: We all find ourselves scavenging the internet for new customers. We all have to do it, or we go extinct.
This Digital Marketing Workshop is the fastest way for translators and localizers to increase their customer list within 60 days.
Hint: The secret to success is not only to increase the number of potential customers on your list.
Otherwise, everybody could buy a list of names from a database acquisition service and be a millionaire overnight.
What counts is the relationship that you build with your audience on that list. And as we have learned from America's most successful vocal group to date, The Supremes, you can’t hurry love. But you can have a strategy.
The more trust we build, the deeper our relationships grow over time and the more natural it becomes for them to buy from you.
In this workshop you will learn to create:
Unique marketing emails about you and your business that makes you stand out from the crowd
Landing pages that create leads that value your work as their preferred translator / localizer
Facebook and Linked campaigns that make new customers want you
Customer pipeline that is always full

I am interested, but it seems like a very pricey webminar to me. In other translation forums and communities I see full in-depth courses on the same subject and promising the same results lasting a few weeks for this price... OR at a fraction of this price if boiled down to the essence and presented as a 3 hours webminar... Thanks.

Dear Sir,
Hope you are doing well. I'm Vita from PeMad - Indonesia. I'm very interested to join this webinar. However, since the webinar starts at 9 PM, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend. Would it be possible if although we aren't be able to join the live webinar, we can still ask for the video and materials as long as we register as the participant? Kindly advise.
Best Regards, Vita

Know that I created this live Master Class to help others AVOID the incredible amount of time and money I spent figuring out the best way off selling translation and related services online. This is NOT a workshop that teaches general list building approaches. Its content is SPECIFICALLY tailored for translators and localization service providers.
Over the last seven years, I've spent days, weekends and an endless hours sitting in meetings with marketers from billion-dollar companies to develop best in class global digital marketing infrastructures, processes, and strategies to localize global marketing content. I have listened to audios and watched videos to learn all I could about marketing and selling products and services.
Then, and this is the IMPORTANT part, I implemented, experimented and tested various approaches for our line of business.
I created the Roundtable ‘Localizing Digital Marketing’ in collaboration with the Localization Institute (watch Microsoft’s Paige Williams’ presentation 'How to be ready for Global Marketing ‘ from the event here: https://youtu.be/qBhqEAgG2hU). I moderated master mind classes with marketers from organizations, such as Marriott, Intuit, ALPFA, Water and Microsoft, and listened and learned to what works best and what doesn't, which successes can be achieved faster, and which ones materialize only over time.
I ran my own paid and unpaid Facebook campaigns, experimented with email messaging, tried LinkedIn - and yes, I learned the hard way that you get blocked from the best forums and groups when you do it wrong.
So when I say that I created this workshop to help you shorten the learning curve, to save you time and money, I mean it.
That does not mean that this is going to be easy. This Master Class is intense and it will challenge you. You will need to focus on implementation for at least 30 days to get the results I am promising. It will take longer if you cannot devote enough energy to promoting your business. But it will still produce results - just a bit later. It won't do anything for you, though, if you do not put in the creative and sweat work.
I am NOT promising easy-money-in-30-days. I am forecasting, that you will significantly increase your sales leads if you put in the hard work - it may be even the hardest work on online marketing that you have ever done. But I sincerely hope that it will be easier for you than it was for me.
Will it work for you?
At the core of this Master Class is advice on how to connect and communicate more powerfully, and then sharing that message via digital marketing tools, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, mailing lists and blogs. All with the purpose to FILL UP your mailing list, ENGAGE your audience, and make it natural to BUY from you. You will be inviting people to come to you, rather than chasing new customers.
You might wonder if you would be better off taking any of the free and low-cost offers out there. If that is what your heart, life situation and finances are saying to you, then I fully respect and support that decision. I went through the same process, and ended up paying $1,000 - $3,000 for online programs that I wished I had taken earlier, because they would have put me on the right path sooner.
Money is always a hot button topic and I understand.
As I have shared in multiple Facebook posts, I started out in 2008 when the global economy tanked. There were no jobs, no one was buying, and I used up all my savings and accumulated $120,000 in credit card debt after surgery. At one point, I tried selling coupon books door to door - out of desperation, just to keep myself afloat. Today, I live a much different life, but I still tell stories about when I closed a large contract with a major global company, driving there for 2 hours in my 20-years old Honda Civic in the middle of a sizzling summer with no air conditioning. Starbucks be thanked for letting me fresh up in their bathroom.
So, please know that I do not take the financial commitment for this workshop lightly.
I am also a business person. I know what my advice is worth. Offering this workshop at a lower price point has been a hot topic between me and the ProZ team. In the end we balanced the weight of the program and what it asks of its participants with its cost.
I am not interested in people joining this workshop and then not acting on it, because ‘it was not that much of an investment.’ That would be wasting yours and my time. And time is worth more than money - because we cannot win time back. I want you to succeed, and I want you to stick with it, even when it gets hard - because you made an investment with time and money. I don't want you to take yet another course, read one more book, watch one more video. 95% of success in digital marketing is doing, measuring success, adjusting and then doing it again, so that you will do better tomorrow than you did yesterday. Always make your future better than your past.
I am offering a 30-day money back guarantee. But, if and when you will be asking for a refund, I will also want to see what you have actually done. I will want to see your customer avatar, email copy, blog, opt-in offer, Facebook book posts, LinkedIn activity, your follow-ups, service offers, and re-framing activities. If you fully implemented my advice and did not get any results, you will get a full refund.
It is also true that more than anything, I want you to be successful and increase your opportunities to grow your business. And I want you to grab these chances.
Would it be possible if although we aren't be able to join the live webinar, we can still ask for the video and materials as long as we register as the participant?
Yes, the full recording will be available for all registrants that have paid. I will also make available to you all handouts and downloads, and I will include you in all communication leading up to and after the webinar.
