BUSINESS ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Salary or Wages?

🔔Difference Between Salary and Wages

💥This is a common question in our business and finance courses.

🔔TOPICS FOR OUR COURSES

Salary is a fixed amount paid or transferred to the employees at regular intervals for their performance and productivity, at the end of the month whereas wages are hourly or daily-based payment given to the labor for the amount of work finished in a day.

✅The main difference between salary and wages lies in the fact that salary is fixed, i.e. it is predetermined and agreed between the employer and employee, while wages are not fixed, as it varies depending on the performance of the labor.

✅Salaried persons are generally said to be doing “white collar office jobs” which implies that an individual is well educated, skilled and is employed with some firm and holds a good position in the society.

✅Wage is termed as a compensation that is given on the basis of the amount of work done and the hours spent in doing that. Wages are variable and do vary with day to day functioning of an individual. Wages are given to labors who are engaged in manufacturing processes and get the compensation on a daily basis.

LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Golden Shares

🔔TOPICS FOR OUR LEGAL ENGLISH CLASSES

🔔What Is A Golden Share?
A golden share is a type of share that gives its shareholder veto power over changes to the company’s charter. It holds special voting rights, giving its holder the ability to block another shareholder from taking more than a ratio of ordinary shares.

💥Ordinary shares are equal to other ordinary shares in profits and voting rights. These shares also have the ability to block a takeover or acquisition by another company.

💥Golden shares can be issued by public companies or governments. One of these shares controls at least 51% of voting rights. In the case of a company, it can only issue golden shares after passing special resolutions and changing its memorandum and articles of association. This document governs or dictates a company’s relationship with outside businesses.

💥Golden shares were most popular during the 1980s when the British government began privatizing companies and wished to retain control over them. Governments in other parts of Europe and the Soviet Union also followed suit.

💥Golden shares have been predominantly used in the United Kingdom. Other countries, including Brazil, use golden shares to keep control over state-run entities. The European Union, on the other hand, has mostly banned the use of golden shares by companies and governments. While the EU permits governments to protect vital services, it does not allow golden shares, calling them unjustified and disproportionate to the interests of the company and economy.

BUSINESS ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Cold Calling

TOPICS FOR OUR BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSES

💥What is Cold Calling?

⚡️Cold calling is a sales practice in which individuals are contacted who have not previously expressed interest in a product or service.

⚡️Warm calling is the solicitation of a customer who had previously expressed interest in the company or product.

💥Cold calling generates a range of responses including call terminations, hang-ups, and verbal attacks.
🔔According to a 2020 LinkedIn report, roughly 69% of prospects accepted a call from a new salesperson in the previous year and 82% of those prospects were willing to meet with the salesperson who called. However, the success rate correlates to the persistence of the seller, with an average of 18 calls needed to connect with a buyer. Most sellers give up after four calls, never getting to a “yes.”

🔔On the other hand, cold calling is surprisingly effective. About 82% of prospects who do not hang up the phone actually book a meeting to follow up on the pitch.

So, plan carefully your cold calling strategy.

I get cold-called a lot, but I usually hang up because I do not see any benefit for me from that conversation. Moreover, a salesperson who has pre-researched the customer and prepared a personalized approach makes an effective cold call.

We have a few classes specially designed for cold calling strategies.

TOPICS FOR OUR BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSES: Subprime Mortgage Crisis

Subprime Mortgage Crisis

The expansion of mortgages to high-risk borrowers, coupled with rising house prices, contributed to a period of turmoil in financial markets that lasted from 2007 to 2010.

How and Why the Crisis Occurred

The subprime mortgage crisis of 2007–10 stemmed from an earlier expansion of mortgage credit, including to borrowers who previously would have had difficulty getting mortgages, which both contributed to and was facilitated by rapidly rising home prices. Historically, potential homebuyers found it difficult to obtain mortgages if they had below average credit histories, provided small down payments or sought high-payment loans. Unless protected by government insurance, lenders often denied such mortgage requests. While some high-risk families could obtain small-sized mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), others, facing limited credit options, rented. In that era, homeownership fluctuated around 65 percent, mortgage foreclosure rates were low, and home construction and house prices mainly reflected swings in mortgage interest rates and income.

Search Engines vs Artificial Intelligence: https://blog.seocopywriting.ro/2024/04/29/search-engines-vs-artificial-intelligence/

Suchmaschinen vs Künstliche Intelligenz

Wir leben im Informationszeitalter, das sich schnell in das Zeitalter der Entscheidungen verwandelt. Bitte lesen Sie mehr in meinem alten Artikel von 2018:Bist du ein rebellischer Schriftsteller?

Wie einfach ist es, Informationen zu finden? Wie findet man genaue Informationen? Sagen wir mal, seit zwei Jahrzehnten benutze ich Google und präzise Schlüsselwörter, um Informationen zu finden. Das beste Beispiel für mich war, als ich ein bestimmtes Lied fand, das ich vom Soundtrack eines Films liebte, und ich die Schlüsselwörter auf YouTube eingab.

In letzter Zeit habe ich mit der KI experimentiert und an einer Konferenz bei Esxence in Mailand über die KI und die Kunst der Parfümerie teilgenommen. Bitte lesen Sie meinen Bericht auf Fragrantica.com: ESXENCE 2024: Tag der Parfümkunst mit Künstlicher Intelligenz.

Während meiner Erkundungen fragte ich mich, ob wir es aus der Sicht der Suchmaschinen und der KI mit einer Revolution zu tun haben, da viele Menschen auch berichten, dass sie KI-Lösungen nutzen, um relevante Informationen zu finden.

Meiner Meinung nach, und wie ich in meinem Bericht für Fragrantica erwähnt habe, überprüfe ich IMMER meine von der KI gewonnenen Erkenntnisse.

Wenn wir uns die Daten ansehen, hatte OpenAI laut Similar Web im Januar 2024 mehr Besucher als Google.

Schlussfolgerungen
Aus der Sicht der Suchmaschinenoptimierung ändert sich das Spiel erneut, wobei KI der Hauptveränderer ist. Nie ein langweiliger Tag für uns, SEO-Wissenschaftler. Wohin führt das? Was ist die Indexierungsstrategie der KI für Ihre Website?

What Does A Translator Do?

🔔“Translation is something of the runt of the literary litter, more often perceived as grunt work than art work,” Max Norman writes. “Its practitioners have rarely received attention for anything other than screwing up.” In the United States, it’s estimated that about 3% of books published annually are translations. But translators are increasingly visible in the public sphere.

Inspired by The New Yorker

💆I have been a translator for almost 25 years. I have translated a wide range of topics, including business, architecture, technical books, articles, laws, contracts, and poetry, but my primary area of expertise is legal translations.
Nonetheless, what I mostly do is transcreation. 

🔔What is transcreation?
Transcreation is a term coined from the words “translation” and “creation”, and a concept used in the field of translation studies to describe the process of adapting a message from one language to another, while maintaining its intent, style, tone, and context. A successfully transcreated message evokes the same emotions and carries the same implications in the target language as it does in the source language.

💆Translating is like swimming. At least for me. It can be a bit risky, but it’s manageable if you know the right moves, the right words, and the right structure. It becomes pleasurable. I like translating, and I have a passion for new and old words and their etymology.

💆With so much experience, I do not do extensive research anymore before translating.
I have compiled a glossary of the most challenging terms I have encountered.

✨Nevertheless, I check all the new terms (if there are any) in dictionaries and specialty documents. That is the lengthiest task when it comes to translations. 

💸Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be useful, but it cannot understand the specialized vocabulary used in the corporate, legal, financial, and railway industries.

💆I perpetually use three dictionaries: the Cambridge dictionary, Black’s Law Dictionary, and an etymology dictionary. 

✨We have a lovely translation offer for companies! Check it out: 🔔ABONAMENT DE CURSURI ȘI TRADUCERI PENTRU COMPANII❗️
