Bridging the language gap in business....Translations

Here is one tip that can help you run your business better potentially:

I recently was dealing with a potential client who spoke Spanish but not much English. She could understand me but speaking for her was difficult. I told her not to worry and I would email her all the information she needed to be set up for a merchant account. I then went ahead and wrote my whole email into Google translate and it spit out a translation which I then emailed to my client. She must have liked the Spanish email, because she sent in her application without question. The translations available are quite extensive and I believe you'll find this web site to be a very useful tool.

Key Steps to Growing Your Small Business

If you are starting out on a new business venture, you must remember that one thing is essential: you must create a website.Some people feel that if they are not actually selling product that a website is a waste of time an money. This thought process is downright wrong! A website is another way for people to find you , a virtual business card if you will. It will allow you to display your knowledge and value to the potential customer. More than ever people are using the internet as a medium to find what they need and now even on the go ( mobile and  wireless internet). Whether you are a psychiatrist or you sell balloons out of your basement , a website can bring you customers and at a very low cost. You can easily throw up a  5 page website for as little as $50 a yr. Depending of course on what you are attempting to accomplish that price may go up. Many companies like godaddy.com have coupon codes online that you can find for even greater savings. What are you waiting for ? Build that website today!
