Doing business abroad can
be tough. But doing business anywhere can
be difficult if one lacks the experience and
understanding of the market. As an
American-Korean business team with a combined
experience of almost 50 years in international
commerce with a focus on Korea and Japan, we have
been there and done that - "that"
includes making mistakes as well as getting
things right on the first bounce.
We're on the ground - closely
monitoring economic, political, technical and
business movements. We know the players but more
importantly we know how to interpret and report
to those interested outside of Korea what is
happening on a weekly basis. In short, we
can act as your Korea and Japanese channel sales managers. We sometimes act
as official representatives of foreign firms who are in the
process of establishing their Korean or Japanese market beach head.
Some of our other clients appreciate our
no-nonsense approach to management -- particularly sales --
training that is sensitive to local market differences while firm in the delivery of the universal fundamentals of business
professionalism.
We have seen
expensive and foolhardy rushes into this
market. We have also seen foreign companies
miss out on major and profitable opportunities
out of fear and ignorance. We know there
are ways to work one's firm and its products
& services into the Japanese and Korean economies without
taking on major financial risks.
At the same time,
we know how international, Japanese and Korean businesses
operate. We have experienced how mutual
learning curves need to be achieved by both
foreign and local managers in order to become
successful partners. As international
business professionals, we can advise, interpret
and represent partners' needs to each other
whenever necessary.
We have been in northeast
Asia for the long haul. We are willing to
help you grow your business in Japan and Korea to the point
that it may make better sense to go direct
without our involvement. At that point, we
are capable and willing to help make the
transition according to your business plan.
