B2B Business Matching & Meeting Arrangement in Japan | Fenetre Partners

　As you may know, it’s very difficult for a foreign company to arrange a meeting with your target Japanese companies due to the language barrier and conservative business culture. Your English emails usually go to their spam folder or must be ignored even in the case it reached a right person. Of course you should not make a phone call in English, which usually makes them panic. In addition, there’s no popular business SNS tools like Linkedin in Japan. It is only one solution that you hire a local professional who contacts your target companies on behalf of you.

　We offer B2B business matching & meeting arrangement service to you with identifying appropriate target companies, pre-screening them, arranging B2B meetings with them, and accompanying you to those meetings. We also arrange all logistics and translation.

B2B Business Matching and Meeting Arrangement in Japan – Process

　Our B2B business matching service is usually conducted in the following manner:

1. Identification of potential partners
　To begin, we define the ideal target distributors/partners by having a discussion with a client. We then do research on websites, industry directories and industry associations in order to identify potential partners. We organize the information into a long list and ask our client to prioritize them.

2. Pre-screen candidate Companies
　Next, we make contacts with candidate companies by sending emails and making phone calls. We explain the client’s market entry plan and product lines and assess the candidates’ levels of interests.

3. Arrange B2B meetings
　After pre-screening the potential partners, we arrange B2B meetings between the client and candidates who gave us positive feedback on the client’s offer. All logistics including transportation and accommodation are also arranged by us.

4. Accompany clients to B2B meetings
　When clients arrive Japan, we give them a briefing about the Japanese business culture and basic information on each company that they will meet. Our team accompanies clients to all meetings and translates if needed. We also invite clients to visit retailers if they supply consumer goods.
