Gillian:<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ever since I completed the Level 2 Craft Chocolate Tasting certificate, I’ve wanted to go to Paris’ Salon du Chocolat. And my visit last autumn didn’t disappoint.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Apart from the outstanding craft chocolate from award-winning makers like Friis-Holme and Pralus, making contact with associated suppliers was fascinating.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From chocolate-machinery makers to ingredient suppliers, I was like a kid in a sweet shop! Chatting to people gave me an insight into their perspective on the industry and one contact was just so pleased I spoke Italian too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I discussed the region and terroir with this Piedmont hazelnut grower and exporter for some time. We got on well, took a selfie and he gave me a variety of nut samples to take home. And after following up after the Salon, things progressed, developing into a translation quote request. Bingo!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But that was just the start. The client was also interested in French translation too, so the partnership with Aude began.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Working together has meant we can provide the services the client needs in a trusted relationship. Personal connections still matter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Aude:<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lorsque Gillian m’a contact\u00e9e en me racontant son exp\u00e9rience de visite du Salon du chocolat \u00e0 Paris, j’\u00e9tais \u00e0 la fois admirative et un peu jalouse. Fan de chocolat, j’ai toujours d\u00e9sir\u00e9 me rendre \u00e0 ce salon qui se d\u00e9roule dans ma ville natale, sans pourtant en avoir jamais eu l\u2019occasion. Quoi qu\u2019il en soit, sa proposition de collaboration tombait \u00e0 pic pour deux raisons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

D’une part, j’avais depuis longtemps ce souhait d’exploiter ma passion personnelle pour la gastronomie. Pourquoi ne pas en faire une corde suppl\u00e9mentaire \u00e0 mon arc de traductrice, parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 ma sp\u00e9cialisation en finance d\u00e9coulant de mon exp\u00e9rience professionnelle pr\u00e9-traduction\u2009?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

D\u2019autre part, lorsque Gillian m\u2019a contact\u00e9e, je venais de m\u2019installer en Italie et cherchais \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper mon portefeuille local. Notre client commun a d\u2019ailleurs \u00e9t\u00e9, en quelque sorte, mon \u00ab\u2009cobaye\u2009\u00bb\u00a0: il m\u2019a permis non seulement de mettre en place mes devis et documents contractuels en langue locale, mais aussi de tester la facturation conform\u00e9ment aux exigences r\u00e9glementaires transalpines \u2013 ce qui n\u2019est pas une mince affaire \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 la complexit\u00e9 de l\u2019administration italienne\u2026 [paradoxalement, la facturation pour des clients non italiens est beaucoup plus simple\u00a0!].<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cette rencontre en chair et en os entre Gillian et le client au Salon du chocolat a \u00e9t\u00e9 capitale\u00a0: la confiance gagn\u00e9e au travers de ce contact nous a permis \u00e0 toutes les deux d\u2019obtenir un bon tarif et d\u2019entretenir d\u2019excellentes relations client-fournisseur tout au long du projet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Forte de cette exp\u00e9rience tr\u00e8s positive, j\u2019ai pris mon courage \u00e0 deux mains et me suis rendue \u00e0 mon tour au salon TuttoFood de Milan d\u00e9but mai. Comme Gillian, je me suis d\u2019abord r\u00e9gal\u00e9e visuellement (et aussi au sens propre du terme\u2009!), avant de me sentir terroris\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019id\u00e9e d\u2019approcher un des exposants pour lui proposer mes services\u2026 En r\u00e9alit\u00e9 et \u00e0 mon grand \u00e9tonnement, toutes les personnes que j\u2019ai abord\u00e9es ont \u00e9t\u00e9 charmantes et \u2013 me semble-t-il \u2013 plut\u00f4t agr\u00e9ablement surprises par ma d\u00e9marche. La relation est maintenant \u00e9tablie, \u00e0 moi d\u00e9sormais de la nourrir\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

(La majorit\u00e9 d\u2019entre eux m\u2019ont cependant dit \u00eatre \u00ab\u2009couverts\u2009\u00bb pour le march\u00e9 fran\u00e7ais avec des documents \u00ab\u2009en anglais\u2009\u00bb\u2026 Il me reste donc du pain sur la planche pour les convaincre qu\u2019une traduction fran\u00e7aise pourrait certainement booster leurs ventes sur notre territoire. Et s\u2019il s\u2019av\u00e8re que c\u2019est bien de l\u2019anglais dont ils ont besoin, je sais en tout cas vers qui les orienter\u2009!)<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
