Creating the need for translation? Oct 1, 2013

Hello Alessandra,
Do you believe we, translators, should create the need for translation? In other words, shall we present ourselves and our services to our (potential) clients as "something" they really need? If so, are there any efficient ways of doing that?
Thanks!
Rita Menezes

Id like to second that question, It would be interesting to know that. Is it worth it to take the time to offer your services to potential clients, one by one, even though they did not ask for it?
