This is a great sign \u2013 it shows that you are trusted.<\/p>\n
A colleague is just like any other client: like with anyone else, you must agree on the terms and keep your promises. In addition, you should keep in mind that your colleague doesn\u2019t have any more time or resources than you do. Therefore, the service you’re providing must be as seamless as possible. Don\u2019t expect your colleague to double check the terms for you or to proofread your translation unless you’ve specifically agreed on it. In addition, you should always return files in the same format as you have received them. All in all, don\u2019t leave anything to your colleague that you yourself wouldn\u2019t want to fix in a subcontractor\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
Sometimes a colleague will refer their client to you because they don\u2019t have the time to take the commission and don\u2019t want to mediate the entire process. In these cases, be worthy of their trust. Don\u2019t hijack the client, but make it clear to them from the beginning that you’re accepting the commission as a favor to your colleague. You should also ask your colleague how they usually proceed with their clients. This way, your and your colleague\u2019s practices are consistent from the client\u2019s point of view.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
