How to Automate Lead & Client Tracking as a Translator

When LegalBridge sends three contracts due Thursday while you're stuck in a MedTech manual, tracking leads and deadlines gets messy. Miss a 24-hour window to reply to a Japanese legal agency, and you lose $800 projects because you were too deep in word counts to check email.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Copying lead details from emails into Excel, figuring out word-count estimates by hand, and setting phone alarms for follow-ups.

45 minutes per day
  1. Open your email client and copy-paste project specs into a master spreadsheet
  2. Calculate estimated revenue based on word count and your specific rate for that client
  3. Set multiple phone alarms or calendar alerts for different deadline stages
  4. Draft availability responses in a separate doc before emailing back
  5. Cross-reference terminology lists to make sure the scope is accurate

Christine

AI Secretary

Just got an email from GlobalTech. They need a 12,000 word technical manual translated Spanish to English by Friday. Rush job.
9:41 AM
Got it. That's 12k words at your standard $0.15/word tech rate = $1,800. Add a 25% rush surcharge, and the total is $2,250. Want me to draft a reply confirming availability and sending the quote?
9:41 AM
Yes, but tell them I can only start Wednesday morning. Also add that I need their glossary by Tuesday noon.
9:42 AM
Done. Email sent to GlobalTech with the $2,250 quote, Wednesday start date, and glossary deadline. I've also blocked out Wed-Fri on your Google Calendar and set a reminder to ping them if the glossary hasn't arrived by Tuesday at 1 PM.
