13 proven strategies for getting more freelance translation jobs from agencies by PACTRANZ

1. Deliver a superb translation on your first job for an agency – it’ll blow them away

You know the agency will check out your first freelance translation job for them real closely, right?

So if you want to get ongoing work from them, make sure you do a terrific job.

Consider spending more time on it than you would for other similar projects.

Produce a superlative translation and stun the agency with your quality.

Why that superior translation should directly gain you more work

The agency will be assessing how good a translator you are, and thus whether to offer you further translation jobs going forward.

Think what goes through a Project Manager’s mind when using a translator for the first time:

“I hope this new translator works out well”.
“I hope she does a good job”.

And when you produce an absolute blinder, what’s the reaction?

“This is great! The reviewer said it’s excellent”.
“Looks like we’ve found a great new translator”.
“I’ll send her more work!”

By producing a superb translation you’ll exceed the agency’s expectations.

And having shown you’re a top notch translator, of course they’ll want you to be doing more of their work.
