Why Clients Use Our Services

Japan can be a great market for many consumer and B2B products but you need the right Japanese sales partners to succeed in this rewarding but complex market.

Unfortunately… as you may have already discovered… finding these distributors, agents & importers isn’t easy…

They are almost impossible to find using search engines like Google

They usually have little or no English on their websites… even if they speak English well and do business with non-Japanese companies on a regular basis

They often ignore email from companies they don’t know… especially if it’s written in English

Having spoken with thousands of companies interested in selling their products in Japan…

I can say with complete confidence that this is one of the biggest challenges non-Japanese companies face in the Japanese market.

We Can Help You Avoid The #1 Mistake Companies Make In The Japanese Market

We can also help you avoid the most common mistake that companies make in the Japanese market… choosing the wrong distributor for their product.

We’ve seen it happen time and time again.

A company new to the Japanese market signs a distribution agreement with the first Japanese company that shows interest in their products.

Then after wasting several years with little or no sales in Japan, they start looking for another distributor or leave the Japanese market entirely, believing that their products aren’t right for Japan.

The irony here is that often their products would do well in Japan… with the right distributor.

This problem is so common that almost half of our clients come to us because they are unhappy with their current Japanese distributor.
