Sales

Trying to break into the legal translation market. Targets: law firms, financial institutions, bigcorp. Positioning: high quality/prices. How?

This is anecdotal and I don't have data to confirm but the legal industry is very traditional - disruptive and innovative products can be a tough sell. I think the most important question that you need to answer is do people need legal translations?

Pricing

Does odd pricing turn you off (e.g., $29 vs $30)?

How to turn a niche seasonal business into a all year round business?


Cam Taylor

Clarity Expert

Hey Fabio, A couple of thoughts: 1) A lot of people in the southern hemisphere do a "Christmas in July" because that's when winter falls. So maybe you could target that market in May, June & July and squeeze out a few more sales. 2) Is there more you can do to optimize for the holidays to make your most effective period even better? This could be either marketing related or cost-saving/efficiency based. 3) Apart from that, I think it's going to be a hard sell to market and sell Christmas product out of season. Typically, seasonal stuff is heavily discounted during these non-holiday periods so that could be a problem. I'd take what you've learnt (and mastered to a certain extent by the sounds of it) with that business (eg product, marketing, logistics) etc and find new niches.
