Step 07
Work and business meetings
Interpreting, someone alongside you, suppliers and your first negotiations.
What to budget for
Take an interpreter with industry experience to a first supplier meeting: here the difference between “translated” and “understood” costs money.
Whatever is agreed goes down in writing the same day — otherwise a week later the two sides remember it differently.
Checking a counterparty before shipment is cheaper than arguing about it afterwards.
