An ATA Online Learning Event
NITA’s vice president Judy Jenner will offer a one-hour webinar on September 23, 2010 at 9:00 am PDT. Linguists excel in the humanities, but most have little business training. This webinar will show linguists how to behave like entrepreneurs. Using the case-study method adopted by many prominent U.S. business schools, real-life examples will be used to illustrate presentation points and offer specific advice. No high-level terminology will be used.
This webinar will focus on working with direct clients and marketing in an online world.
The presentation will cover:
- Finance/economics—pricing, supply and demand
- Accounting—decreasing expenses
- Entrepreneurship—generating new business, networking
- Negotiating—tips and tricks
