@angeldominguez The UK and Spain seem to share education problems, at least to the extent that everyone complains and politicians meddle.

@grahunt No chance. Too much business and jobs destruction already for things to pick up in 12 months. They'll still be unwinding.

I would like two more buttons on Twitter: 1) what links have my friends posted overnight and 2) what have they said about 'xxxx'?

La Tercera de ABC carga contra la educación preuniversitaria. Visiones parciales y las CCAA son los principales problemas.
Sunday from Twitter - Comment - Share
ABC has a rant against the disjointed Spanish school system as its main opinion piece. Party politics and regional battles are main problem.

@ryanopaz Ah, ok, that's a nearly impossible one to solve in this heat! A nap will help you clear your thoughts on the issue.

@ryanopaz How about as a percentage of entry fee per attendee? 500 attendees x 250€ entry fee x 10% or something like that.

What your customers understand as quality when they buy from you is not necessarily what you understand.

@DenaShunra Wise words; I'll have to write a couple of blog posts about all this.
July 3 from Twitter - Comment - Share
@DenaShunra I think it can be applied to take into account customer behaviour over the complete cycle of planning - translation - payment.
July 3 from Twitter - Comment - Share
@DenaShunra Yes, something like that. Lots of subtle possibilities to think about.
July 3 from Twitter - Comment - Share
How could you use the pricing of your translation services to help high quality clients find you?
July 3 from Twitter - Comment - Share
Maybe when customers say they won't pay for translation quality, they're subtley admitting the quality of the original text isn't worth it.
