Support for follow-up after business meetings tailored to local culture
We provide specific advice on the timing and content of follow-up and support the success of your business meetings. Basically, it is important to follow up promptly and concretely after business negotiations, but it is also important to take an approach that is aware of local culture, as the optimal way to move forward differs from country to country and industry to industry.
Winning at overseas business meetings requires preparation based on an understanding of differences in business practices.
When conducting business negotiations with overseas businesses locally, the key to success is to be prepared to close the deal at the initial negotiation stage, taking into account differences in business customs.
One of the most common failures of Japanese companies is that, despite the interest of local buyers at business meetings, they fail to proceed with further specific discussions because they have not yet decided on product prices, minimum lot numbers, or start dates, and thus miss their chance to win the business.
To prevent such opportunity losses, it is important to thoroughly prepare in advance for the business meeting. This will increase your chances of closing the deal.

Case Studies
Tohoku Municipality
We would like to organize a business meeting between our prefecture’s businesses dealing with local specialty products and local buyers in Vietnam.
Our Support
- Listing of local buyers in Vietnam.
- Selection of companies for business meetings.
- Local transportation vehicle arrangement.
- Arrangement of interpreters for business meetings.
- Business meeting support.
- Follow-up representation.
Results
Three companies decided to start exporting their products at a local business meeting in Vietnam attended by five Japanese companies.
Japanese products are very popular in Vietnam, and there are many products that are not yet available in Vietnam. Therefore, businesses that come to business negotiations from Japan with proper preparation have a high probability of closing the deal, while businesses that are unprepared often miss the opportunity. In this case, the well-prepared business was able to close the deal on the spot.
