Our client had established a business relationship with a Japanese company, following which they had an urgent need to establish a local office in Tokyo. To realize their ambitious expansion plans, they were looking for a professional B2B marketing company with a strong command of English.

After several face-to-face meetings and videoconferences, the company felt confident in our abilities to deliver and chose IAD as their dedicated marketing partner in Japan.

IAD's initial proposal was an innovative one-year agenda, which successfully completed as per schedule. Several other projects have also executed.

IAD made a yearly planning as a proposal.
Some of the projects proposed have already been going on.

1. Localization and design of 2 company brochures.

2. News release localization and the distribution to all over Japan.

3. Localization of a landing page in Japanese.

4. Design of a Web microsite.

5. Finding new contacts in several departments of potential companies.

Even though the company boasts the top share of the global market, Japan was an untapped area for the company, and it was necessary to start by developing new prospective customers.

Localization of digital content such as websites takes time and manpower, so marketing activities were conducted by exhibiting at events and placing advertisements. However, inbound marketing alone was not enough to contact the company's target companies.

Focusing on the manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, logistics, and medical industries, where many companies use the company's products. The company wanted to contact the top companies in each industry and obtain user cases that would become symbols in Japan. In addition, it was important to develop partners to expand sales. They needed to solve several issues at the same time.

To solve the problem, the company outsourced lead generation to IAD, a company with a proven track record in finding contacts at major companies. Over the course of three years, IAD obtained OPT-INs from more than 20 of the top 50 companies in each of the 50 industries.

A pipeline was established to enable information exchange and proposals in all industries.

For more specific projects, we collaborate with System Integrator designated or desired by the target company to make proposals. Based on specific projects, the number of partners was also expanded.The company's name recognition among potential customers and System Integrator that make SCM-related proposals have steadily increased.

The effectiveness of lead generation is based on the ability to find contacts with executives at major new companies and to obtain OPT-INs from at least 2 out of 10 companies.

In nurturing, it is the ability to listen to the BANT required to determine whether a deal should be passed on to sales.

Lastly, the ability to obtain appointments that lead to meetings. In the company's case, 22 campaigns were conducted over the past three years. The average number of appointments exceeded 10%.

Based on the above results, it is now possible to understand the timing and scope of consideration, as well as the position and personality of the interviewee, before handing the lead to sales.

For the sales representatives, this has led to more efficient activities, as they are able to grasp the status of consideration and bring a proposal from the first visit.

While we have made progress in developing large companies, we have yet to develop a range of small and midsize companies, and partnerships with vendors that have strong ties to these companies are still in the works.

Further target expansion is needed.

In addition, there are many cases in which even those already developed prospects are considering a review after two or three years, so the next step is to continue appropriate follow-up without losing mid- to long-term projects.

The next step is to increase the volume and sophistication of marketing activities.

We hope that IAD will focus on this point and provide us with optimal proposals based on its extensive experience in providing support.
