It’s more expensive to lose a client because of a language barrier or misunderstanding. It’s far less expensive to have a partner like LanguageLine to help the client understand what he’s signing and the product he’s buying. I can’t put a dollar value on a service like this because it’s doing the right thing. And that’s what we do. "
