Testimonial from the President
Q1 What was the status of your company’s international expansion at the beginning?
We only had a vague idea that we wanted to export to Europe and the United States.
Q2 Did the advice you received from Paccloa have a positive impact on your international expansion?
We are moving forward slowly, but without stopping.
We have participated in exhibitions internationally, and we are feeling a certain level of response.
We feel that external support is very important, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, because it is difficult for them to make long-term progress without external stimulus.
Q3 What did you think of the sometimes harsh advice?
We try to listen to the harsh advice of our advisors, who have a wealth of experience, as we believe it is important feedback to gauge where we stand and how we are progressing.
Q4 Have you consulted with any other experts or consultants regarding international expansion?
We have not consulted with any other consultants.
Q5 What, if anything, has made a lasting impression on you?
Ms. Ogawa is, in a word, a “more-than-consultant.
She has a clear roadmap to successful international expansion, and she helps us move straight toward it.
