Do you know how to scale a service business? It is hard, but it doesn’t have to be.
We all know that scaling a service business is difficult and takes time. It’s also expensive and risky because you can never predict what will happen once your company starts growing at an exponential rate.
Taia has been able to grow its customer base by 600% in just 3 years thanks to its localization strategy. They’ve been able to do this by setting the right culture from day one, using a localization strategy, standing out amongst competitors who are selling commodity products, motivating people with effective tools like gamification and social recognition as well as leveraging machine translation technology so they could scale faster than ever before!
Marko Hozjan shares lessons and insights from his journey in scaling Taia, a translation platform that delivers quality translations made by A.I. technology and experienced translators.
