Shift to global sales to convince buyers
Acquire the mindset, knowledge, and skills of a global sales professional who also understands unique Japanese customer tendencies. And make a specific action plan tailored to your unique work environment, so that you can confidently work with Japanese clients.

You'll see immediate results! Learn sales strategies that get results!
Thanks to J-Global's training, I went overseas with an action plan and was able to make a huge difference in the first two months. After completing the program, I immediately implemented my sales action plan. To my surprise, I immediately saw positive results. And I am finding that my relationships with my clients are improving and getting better.

The Importance of a Better Understanding of Cross-Cultural Business
After taking this course, I finally understood why they were frustrated when I was negotiating with non-Japanese clients, partly because I could not immediately grasp what they intended. Before, I had not been able to see things from a cross-cultural perspective.
