Entrepreneurial Translator

“For anyone wishing to get started as a freelance translator, I thoroughly recommend Jason's course. He covers all aspects of the business from marketing to finance, but perhaps the most interesting from the point of view of language specialists, will be thinking on how to bridge the experience gap and how to specialize in a niche.”

“I really enjoyed Jason's course. He gave sound advice on setting up a freelance translation business - from marketing to pricing, and more. Thanks!”

“I recently took part in a CIOL training workshop that Jason gave. He is obviously a very experienced and knowledgeable professional who was able to share that knowledge and experience with us in a very stimulating and welcoming atmosphere. It was an extremely useful event. Thanks Jason!”

“I really enjoyed Jason’s session on pricing strategies and negotiation techniques. Jason is very clear and genuinely wants to help translators with their negotiation techniques. He shows them the benefits of value-based pricing as opposed to cost-based pricing. He also gives plenty of practical examples and useful links. I highly recommend it to anyone, but especially as an eye-opener for those translators who think they have to compete on price or who are not comfortable with negotiation”

“I found Jason's 'Setting Up as a Freelance Translator' one-day course, on behalf of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL), hugely beneficial and would recommend to other would-be Freelance Translators.”

“I had the pleasure of moderating Jason’s talk on rate negotiation at the BP Translation conference in Spanish in January 2021. Due to rates being a hot topic in these volatile times and his reputation as a medical translator, Jason’s was one of the best attended talks. He engaged with the online audience, shared strategies, such as BATNA, and practical tips, which I started implementing straight after his talk. For that reason, I can confidently say that Jason would provide a lot of value to any translation event, and I look forward to his next talk.”

“I was mentored by Jason (3 sessions) as part of the ITIMedNet Mentoring Scheme and also attended his 2-part webinar series on "Getting Started in Medical Translation". The sessions were varied, informative, practical and provided a solid understanding of how to deal with different kinds of medical documents. Jason was patient, extremely knowledgeable and gave me detailed feedback on all my assignments. I really enjoyed his webinars which were instructive, engaging and provided excellent resources. I have been able to apply all my learning to my current job and highly recommend both his webinar series as well the mentorship.”

“Jason's class on negotiating helped me see the process in a new light and understand that it doesn't have to be adversarial. He provided precise, concise advice on how to approach negotiation and helped ease my fears. An affable presenter, he clearly enjoys sharing his knowledge. If you have the chance to attend one of his classes or talks, take it!”
