Trust must be in the DNA of B2B partnerships

If you are a decision maker in a translation company, this challenge is for you, and it begins with a question: will we work together? The question serves a purpose. What seemed to be unlikely in the world of translation companies has become the new norm.

Being prepared has become pivotal. In this new scenario, a network of partnerships appears to us as the line between success and failure.

Accept our challenge and take a moment to think about what you consider to be the most important pillar in your relationship with your best friend. Is it trust? The same applies in the case of business, because in the business world trust is also the basis and the starting point for a strong and lasting partnership.

But what is partnership to us? Before stating the advantages, there is a yardstick that cannot be neglected: those involved in a B2B partnership must, right from the start, put all the cards on the table.

Honesty must prevail over the intent of a partnership which leading purpose is the success of both parties. If this principle is respected, if the transparency in the relationship is absolute, then the success of a partnership is guaranteed.

The question is: which partnership to choose?

The question now is different: which company should you choose as a partner in the universe of translation companies? If the answer is "the most famous", "the cheapest", "the largest", you could be making a mistake. Even if those answers are legitimate, the most appropriate answer differs and is much shorter: the best.

Even at the B2B level, you should always put yourself in the shoes of the customer browsing for a translation company, preferably a market leader in Portugal in language services such as conference interpreting and translation. AP Portugal is aware of the fact that the growing need for website translation, the importance of multilingual SEO and the crucial content localisation have raised the needs of language services beyond just a pair of languages.
