POSSIBLE STARTING POINTS
Consultation cases
Explore support through practical business situations.
These hypothetical cases illustrate how support could be used. They are not client engagements or achieved results. Actual activities and evidence are scoped according to the market, offer and available resources.

Prepare the first approach to an overseas wholesaler.
A food producer is exploring overseas sales, but has only Japanese materials and unresolved supply, storage and pricing information. Begin with the facts a commercial buyer will need.
Organize the offer, assess prospective buyers and prepare materials and outreach. Record interest and questions, then clarify the arrangements, costs and checks required before samples are sent.
Possible outputs include a product brief, prospect list, feedback and next actions. The decision is which channel to prioritize and what is missing before a meeting.

- Product & storage
- Supply & pricing
- Buyer requirements
CASE 02 / A BRAND ENTERING JAPAN
Choose between a distributor and direct online sales in Japan.
A lifestyle brand sells in its home market and is considering Japan. The audience and price position are unclear, making it difficult to choose between distributor outreach and an online launch.
Review competing products, retail context and channels, then adapt the proposition. Compare the responsibilities of a distributor-led approach with handling orders and customers directly.
Compare more than initial cost. Include sales ownership, enquiries, stock and fulfilment to select a route that the available team can realistically test.

- Sales route
- Internal owner
- Customer support
- Validation criteria
CASE 03 / EXHIBITION FOLLOW-UP
Turn exhibition contacts into ongoing conversations.
A company exhibits regularly, but follow-up stops after the event and promising visitors become hard to identify. The issue is preparation for what follows each conversation, as well as attracting visitors.
Define target contacts and qualification questions before the event, with meeting sheets and clear roles. Record interest, timing and requested information on site to guide follow-up priorities.
Track thank-you messages, information and samples, unresolved questions and follow-up meetings. Use the resulting conversations to inform the next exhibition plan.

- Prepare meetings
- Record at the venue
- Prioritize follow-up
CASE 04 / CONTENT & SALES
Make the English website useful after a sales meeting.
A product is explained at an exhibition, but the English website sent afterwards contains only company information. Prospects cannot find applications, specifications or the next steps for an internal review.
Use recurring sales questions to structure product pages. Go beyond translation by ordering information around the customer’s evaluation and clarifying the enquiry route and further materials.
After launch, review enquiries with the team and improve missing explanations. Keep sales materials, follow-up email and web content consistent.

- Understand uses
- Review specifications
- Know who to contact
CASE 05 / CULTURE & PRODUCTION
Bring a performance project into one production schedule.
An artist, business and venue are considering an intimate performance, but participation, venue and promotion are progressing separately. Align the creative purpose and practical conditions.
Agree the audience, conditions, timing and indicative budget, then define artist, production, promotional and operational responsibilities. Include rights and usage checks with clear owners and deadlines.
After delivery, organize permitted documentation and communication assets, and review practical lessons and questions for the next project.

- Align the concept
- Prepare & confirm
- Deliver & review
