September 30, 2016 — W swojej prelekcji przedstawi historię tego jak rozpoczął od zera przygodę z pracą dla zagranicznych klientów. Zaczęło się od pomysłu: „Hej! Może poszukajmy jakichś klientów z zagranicy!” i pierwszych, niezbyt udanych prób ich pozyskania. W prezentacji opowie o tym dlaczego poradniki z popularnych portali dla freelancerów nie zadziałały, co zadziałało, a także o jakich zagrożeniach nie pomyśleliśmy. Na co należy zwrócić uwagę w pracy z zagranicznymi klientami, na jakim rynku przychodzi nam się odnaleźć, jak komunikować swoją markę w tym zróżnicowanym i bardzo konkurencyjnym otoczeniu. Opowie o tym co najlepiej sprawdziło się na naszej drodze do pracy z klientami z USA, Kostaryki, Izraela, Norwegii, Danii, Niemiec, Australii, Kanady i innych krajów. Koniec końców odpowie na pytanie czy naprawdę warto i czy klienci z zagranicy to zawsze najlepsze co nas może spotkać.
