Gold Key Service

Our Gold Key Service opens doors for your business in Japan.

The Gold Key Service helps you make the most efficient use of your time in Japan through one-on-one appointments 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 meetings for you with the most suitable candidates.

The Gold Key Service Includes

· Appointments with pre-screened and pre-qualified importers, distributors, sales representatives or partners

· A market and industry briefing with Commercial Service staff in advance of business meetings

· Market background and information on your industry sector

· Information and assistance with travel, accommodations, and interpreter services

· A U.S. Commercial Service escort to your meetings if requested

· Post-meeting debriefing to discuss results of meetings, and assistance in developing appropriate follow-up strategies

"The Gold Key service exceeded my expectations. I am completely satisfied; the level of professionalism, the courtesy, the hard work and the skill with which my visit was prepared for and executed was outstanding. The quality of the meetings that I held were excellent – on a scale of 1 to 10 – this rated a 12!"
