Mentoring Sessions Results
Catharine Lailson, ATA Certified Translator, ES, EN
I did not think it was possible, but It happened for me, and in April I reached a 10K month THANKS TO VIRGINIA. Virginia's program is the safest, non-threatening, most authentic introvert-friendly one I saw yet. If you are ready to grow and learn to market your services to your ideal clients, this program will teach you step-by-step how to do that. You will leave with the mindset and a suite of tools to succeed. Yes, it is an investment, but you will leave taking action. Without action, you (and your business!) cannot grow. The group is challenging and encouraging, and one of the best things about this program. And even though the mentoring takes place in a group, the coaching and advice is tailored to your specific situation and goals.

I contacted 2,000 new clients in 2 weeks and was able to get paid projects during the program! I had tried a couple of things to improve my profile and posted things with a certain frequency. I didn't get many results though. However, Virginia has been able to give me some very good suggestions, we had a very creative 1:1 session and the group dynamic was brilliant to hold me accountable and stick to the weekly tasks. After implementing the things we were seeing in the program I immediately started to get some results and have actually been able to find new clients with actual projects while the program was still going on. So I'd definitely recommend it.

In August I reached 10K turnover! Thank you so much, Virginia! Words can't describe how thankful I am. FBTF was extremely useful for my business: not only it boosted my network, but also made me reach many potential clients that I could have never reached in person in a so short period of time! I absolutely recommend it: Virginia is the perfect mentor to show all the details and solve any doubts! A unique experience that has changed my path! Words can't describe how thankful I am.
Mira Dittmer, Translator, Conference interpreter, DE
The mentoring program has been a true game changer for me. Thanks to the mentoring program I had a process to follow and took action to take my translation business to the next level. As a starting out translator, I had many questions. I got direct feedback on the texts I wrote, Virginia will tell you everything that you should change and give you ideas on how to improve your profile. Being successful requires many business skills that are never taught in university. Thanks to Virginia, I got a huge step further and know what I want to do next.

Do you need a support group to revamp your online profile and the way you think about marketing? Virginia provides a kind and positive environment where we move step-by-step with weekly goals. We ask questions, exchange ideas and stories on the dedicated group and support each other along the way. I've made terrific progress in such a short period, highly recommended!

I turned to Virginia's Programme because, in spite of my 15+ year experience in translation, I lacked the confidence to target my ideal clients. The Programme helps you define your target market and delve deeper into your ideal client's needs and pains. This will provide you with a powerful tool to address your target clients with the right messages. I would definitely recommend Virginia's mentorship if you want to take your translation business to the next level, whether you are a beginner or an experienced translator.
Deborah Ludi Reidy, Translator EN, US
I had been looking for a comprehensive client acquisition program, more specifically using LinkedIn. I knew that I wanted to grow my business and that it was possible, but I felt like I lacked the tools and knowledge of specific prospecting methods. This is what Virginia offered. I entered the program with no clear path and left with a concrete strategy to follow. Thank you, Virginia!
Luna Jungblut, Translaltor, FR
I reached 10k months! It's worth the investment. Doors will start to open for you as you are guided in a meaningful way by Virginia's amazing mentoring skills and in-depth knowledge of our industry. LinkedIn doesn't seem so scary any more, now, and I realised how useful a tool it will prove to be.
Mario Gomez Rodriguez,Translator, ES
I went for 0 clients to fully booked business owner & project manager in less than 6 months. The FBTF is truly the best thing I could have ever done to start my translation career. I had the opportunity to learn from someone as experienced as Virginia and the rest of the participants. To me, the most valuable thing about the program was how I felt that Virginia really wanted me to succeed. She was always there to help me with whatever I needed and whenever I needed it, and she was always willing to share her own experience and knowledge. Learning from the tips and advice from someone experienced and an expert in marketing for translators like Virginia is priceless.
Irene Gonzalez, Certified Translator, ES
I have been fully booked since starting the course, and I can't wait to continue implementing the rest of the strategies and growing even more! First, I would just like to say THANK YOU for sharing all your knowledge throughout the whole program. I appreciate every insight and recommendation. I can't believe that only some minimal changes and approaches learned from the course have pushed my business. I am also sure that it has to do with my mindset. I am also happy with the networking process with the rest of our colleagues.

What were your three biggest takeaways from the 12-Week Program and mentoring with Virginia overall? More than three! 1. Lots of input to improve my profile. 2. I was a bit reluctant to pay for Sales Navigator because I have many expenses and not much income, but I can see it is really useful. I hope it pays off soon. 3. Lots of ideas for content that are easier to implement than the ones I usually think of. 4. Learning to use automation tools helps a lot to run the first stage of prospecting automatically, it saves a lot of time. 5. Although I still have to work on it, the importance of changing your mindset.

Lubinka Dimitrova, Business Translator/Subtitler
At a certain point in their professional path, many translators reach a limit, where they have to either continue to chase any odd job, hoping to make ends meet, or scale up and expand their work. Most of us simply don't know how to do that, and this is where Virginia comes in.
She has insightful, hands-on, deeply personalized advice about every step a translator needs to take in order to climb to the next level of their career and forever forget about the insecurities of the freelancer's work, but instead have a steady workflow in areas that they actually enjoy. Virginia's detailed, no-nonsense approach, combined with the ample free materials she shares on her channels, open new horizons and offer an abundance of priceless knowledge for her mentees. I personally couldn't be happier that I was given a chance to receive her guidance and learn how to take the next step in my translator's career.

The best thing is that she is nota teacher, she is a guide: a person who knows well the translation world and canWell understand the needs of her mentees. I am really happy to be part of it and I am sure I will miss our group!

FBTF was a real challenge, but it helped me to go out from my comfort zone in this particular period (due to Covid) of my professional career. "if you see all grey, move the elephant": that's what I did with FBTF. It changed completely my mindset thanks to Virginia's attitude and competence: I owe all my successes to her method! I have no words to say thank you, Virginia. Of course I would recommend the programme to anybody who would like to scale up! I wish I had this opportunity before, but that's life...better late than never! Now I have all the right tips and tricks to follow my dreams!

The support from Virginia was great because, as everything in life there are ups and downs and as a starting out translator you can get quite demotivated but she helped me by emphasising my strengths and professionalism. She also gave lots of tips on how to reply to clients, both agencies and companies. The group support was also amazing because you get to have all the tips and experiences of other translators. Overall, as a starting out translator I really enjoyed the programme; I cannot expect results overnight but at least I have a method to create my own success over time.

FOR THE ULTIMATE LINKEDIN PROSPECTING SYSTEM COURSE
I loved that the course was relatively short (only 4 sessions) but very concise and practical it's great idea to have the teaching module beginning of the week, and then follow with session couple days later. I appreciate the fact that virginia shared her screen to teach about the search options and also discussed the process she applies when looking for and contacting the clients. There are many courses about ll, but virginia's course is tailored specifically to translators and this is a great added value, because it focuses on their needs and perspective.

Virginia is for sure the best mentor I could ever had. Being always friendly and self- confident, fully-available, rich in details & very competent, she had led me to reach my goals! I am absolutely satisfied and I will continue regularly to follow her method. I felt really supported and encouraged to follow my ideal clients, and I have already gained some of them! Take action, do not wait!

The course is mainly aimed at people who have no experience for linkedin. If that is you, this will be interested, but as soon as you know how to use the search filters, maybe you won't learn that many new things. Yet, this course is interesting to take, because virginia also explains how to define your target audience and how that can contribute to expanding your network on linkedin.

Virginia knows very well what you want to get, as she is a translator as well, but she knows very well what your clients want to know from you. She doesn't give you the fish, she is teaching you to fish. Of course, the final results will depend on you, but I like people who make you go the extra mile, because otherwise you don't improve. And there's always room for improvement! I recommend signing up for this course, but first you need to be very sure of what you want.
