Video Gold Key Service

Forget the expensive, 14-hour flight and jet lag! Our Video Gold Key Service can introduce you to the contacts you need to succeed in Japan, face-to-face!

The Video Gold Key Service helps you make face-to-face contact via videoconference with Japanese importers, agents, distributors, or sales representatives, each of whom has been pre-screened by one of our Commercial Specialists.

Our Commercial Service Specialists will identify and contact qualified and interested Japanese firms, explain your product or service to them, and arrange a customized schedule of videoconference meetings for you with the most suitable candidates.

How the Video Gold Key Works

  • Commercial Service staff identify and target the most suitable Japanese companies for your company
  • We contact those companies on your behalf
  • We arrange a videoconference meeting schedule with the best candidate companies
  • A few days before the videoconference, we schedule an equipment test to make sure everything works well
  • On the day of the scheduled videoconference:
  • we arrange for representatives of the selected Japanese companies and, if necessary, an interpreter, to come into our office to use our state-of-the-art videoconference equipment;
  • you make arrangements to be available via videoconference at a location of your choosing;
  • we call you at prearranged times to conduct the videoconference meetings

  • Appointments, via videoconference, with pre-screened and pre-qualified importers, distributors, sales representatives or partners
