Hello! I'm Sean.
I have been in the translation field since 2011, initially as a full-time volunteer. After my full-time volunteer service ended in 2017, I used the translation skills I acquired to get freelance projects online.
When I started out as a freelance translator, getting projects and clients was a real struggle. In time, I learned the techniques on how to acquire clients
for my translation services and how to turn
them into loyal customers.
It was then that I realized how great it would be if others could learn these techniques as well. Now, I'm finally ready to share it with others so they
could also enjoy what I now enjoy without compromising their priorities.
