Q-Lingua provides translation from Hebrew to about fifteen different languages and from English to all languages and vice-versa. They also provide content writing for user-guides and/or manuals in English and Hebrew and marketing content for presentation, posts, etc. Batia was born and raised in Haifa where she currently lives today. Prior to 2008, she was an international business developer with both high-tech and low-tech companies as well as renewable energy companies. There, she wrote content for her clients. Since 2008, she has brought her love of language, where she always felt she could connect with people, and business together. As most business owners know, you need to connect with your target audience in order to make sales. The same is true in language—you must connect with the audience in their language, the style they write and speak in, the way they think, feel, etc. or they will not buy from you. Q-Lingua helps companies do this efficiently by tailoring specific processes for each company and making sure the forms are completed to the highest standard, which increases their time to market. This is one of the main reasons to work with Q-Lingua, their quality. General translation is easy to find but they bring added value by selecting the right project manager for the job. Her team consists of in-house project managers that are passionate about language and all have different talents. Additionally, the project managers work with their client for so long in order to feel comfortable with one another and so the client has someone they can rely on the next time they need Q-Lingua’s services. Batia is extremely happy with her team and loves to see the amazing things they accomplish. Batia, as well as the rest of the team at Q-Lingua, pride themselves on returning customers and referrals which is about seventy to eighty percent of their business.

TAB Meaning and How She Got Involved:
Batia has been a TAB member for over two and a half years. In previous years, Batia had worked with Nir Makovsky as her mentor and trainer and he became very familiar with her partner, company, and team. Makovsky recommended she join TAB when she was at a junction in her business, and she has never looked back. Batia loves how TAB is an open space and place where she is able to talk to other business leaders and learn about their companies and hear the challenges that they face which are sometimes similar and sometimes different than the challenges she faces. Additionally, she appreciates how she and the rest of the board are able to bounce ideas off of each other and although she has a team, she is not able to share all her dilemmas and decisions with her team so the monthly meetings are a great place to do that. The monthly or bi-monthly one-to-one sessions with her business mentor keeps her “honest” and together they drill in and create a plan that is achievable and this mentor keeps her honest by holding her accountable to the plan and keeps her focus. While both the board meetings and one-on-one sessions are incredibly important, Batia believes she gains more value from the board meeting and the discussions they have during it even though all the business leaders are from different industries. Batia is looking forward to continuing to be a TAB member.
