Hello everyone,
I've recently embarked on an entrepreneurial journey by registering my own localization company, aiming to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps across industries. As I navigate these early stages, I'm grappling with the best strategies for client acquisition.

I've recently embarked on an entrepreneurial journey by registering my own localization company, aiming to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps across industries. As I navigate these early stages, I'm grappling with the best strategies for client acquisition. I'm curious about the most effective platforms for advertising our services – should we focus on LinkedIn, industry-specific forums, or another route? Additionally, given the competitive nature of the localization industry, I'm concerned if entering the market now is too late. I'd greatly appreciate any insights, experiences, or advice on how to successfully establish and grow in this field.
Thank you in advance for your support! ▲ Collapse

I'd very much doubt you'll get any satisfactory insights for your question in this forum. One thing is for certain though: LinkedIn will get you nowhere.
I think the best thing to do would be to get yourself employed by a large translation company, not as a translator obviously, but as a project or vendor manager (as in-house personnel, not as freelancer), and learn the trade from the inside. Observe how they're conducting their business, getting their clients etc. Once you've learned the... See more I'd very much doubt you'll get any satisfactory insights for your question in this forum.

Observe how they're conducting their business, getting their clients etc. Once you've learned the ropes, leave and start your own company. Finding translators shouldn't be a problem.

I didn't check out his profile when I posted. ChatGPT or no, that would be my answer. According to his profile, his company is running like a well oiled machine, but here he's asking about how to get clients. Weird that. He's also concerned "if entering the market now is too late". Is ChatGPT afraid of itself?

Thank you very much for your advice, I will try to get good advice from experienced managers. And you're right, whether I use chatgpt to polish my questions or not, the question is always valuable. My agency just get established. I did worked for a lot of high-profile clients, but it's all because I've been working with another localization giant, unfortunately, it is difficult to establish long-lasting and stable contracts with primary customers.
