NEaT deep dive: Snacks and grants roundtable

Snacks and grants – everything you ever wanted to know about revising grant applications

Join us for an informal roundtable discussion about how to best meet your clients’ needs when they are working on requests for funding to donor agencies.

Our very own Vanessa Fuller will be giving us advice on revising the language of grant applications. Has a valued client asked you to revise a funding proposal and to comment on its quality? Do you know what the differences are between academic manuscripts and requests for funding for research projects?

NEaT deep dive: Find your best clients!

The second NEaT workshop about profitability for language experts

Coming soon on 14 February!

What people said about the first workshop in the series: ‘Friendly atmosphere, open discussion about pricing issues and solutions” “Very practical advice”

So, now you’ve set your daily targets for your business, but do you always spot the most profitable jobs? They might not always be the ones with the best rates. Sometimes they’re the ones with the smoothest overall process or with your preferred topics.

This workshop will give you the comprehensive criteria for rating clients based on profitability, process efficiency, and personal preference, the strategies to identify and cultivate high-value relationships, along with tips for streamlining your client roster for maximum success!

The workshop is run by NEaT member Tiina Kinnunen, who has over 30 years of experience in the translation business. She has presented this workshop at international conferences.
