Dear colleagues:
I have been in discussions with a European organisation concerning an impending 2000-delegate conference in Africa they want my firm to interpret. But they are complaining about the price quotation for the conference despite having given the minimum rate for interpreters. They want to meet with me for further discussions and negotiations. Please what advice would you give me to strengthen my position at this meeting? Info not want to reduce further the rate for professional reasons. Can you share with me a sample contract for conference interpretation that I can let them sign after confirmation?. Many thanks.
