Why Companies Use Our Services
As you probably already know, Japan can be a great market for many consumer and B2B products but you need the right Japanese sales partners to succeed in this complex market.
Unfortunately finding these Japanese companies isn’t easy…
They often have little or no English on their websites making them impossible to find using search engines like Google.
Lists found online or available from government agencies are often out-of-date, too generic, or contain the wrong kinds of companies.
And even if you can somehow find these companies, you will discover that they often ignore email from someone they don’t know… especially if it’s written in English.
Avoid The #1 Mistake Companies Make In The Japanese Market
We can also help you avoid the most common mistake companies make in Japan… choosing the wrong distributor for their products.
We’ve seen it happen time and time again.
A company new to the Japanese market signs a deal 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.
Ironically, their products would often 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.
