Inspired by the Thailand Grand Fair:
A new challenge that crosses borders
I usually communicate with customers by phone or other means from my office. By participating in the Thailand Grand Fair, which was a company-wide initiative, I experienced first-hand how so many people come together to hold such an exhibition. Visitors from many different countries came each day, and we received many comments as well as requests to hold the event next year. This and many other experiences left a strong impression on me. I'm happy we were able to exceed our target number of attendees. These many valuable experiences gave me a strong desire to continue studying languages and deepening my interest in our products so I can participate in future opportunities like this one.
Solution proposals grow the Indian market
Inspired by the Thailand Grand Fair,
I have renewed my hopes for a future on the international stage
By participating in the Thailand Grand Fair, I was struck by the fact that most attendees enthusiastically visited each exhibitor's booth. As I conducted onsite interviews, I realized how market characteristics
in Thailand are entirely different from those in Japan. I felt strongly that we must understand local needs and lay a groundwork to enter markets early, with the right timing. This experience strengthened my desire to leverage the knowledge I've gained through domestic sales, and contribute from the front lines to our company's global expansion, which is a key company-wide initiative.
Through new product development that connects with total coordination skills, the mobile-style hotel "COMPAC"
was born
I participated in a planning meeting for the first time during the launch of the mobile-style hotel "COMPAC."
I was absolutely delighted that ideas I proposed from a woman's perspective with regard to interior design and amenities found a place in the final
product. Moreover, I was very pleased when the name "COMPAC," which I came up with by associating words exchanged during the meeting, was officially adopted. A number of different divisions and group companies collaborated, each leveraging their strengths to create a "TSUNAGU" innovation, and I truly felt this was product development only Yuasa Trading could achieve. Moving forward, I want to be more actively involved in product development and in solving challenges.
Mr. Singh brought in major orders within just six months of joining YTI. Going forward, we hope he will strive to coordinate national
I have been involved in machinery sales for the Indian market since joining the Company, from analyzing customer needs to proposing the right equipment and providing after-sales service. I place great importance on visiting the front line and building trust through ongoing dialogue. Within six months
of joining, I secured multiple large orders that significantly improved production line efficiency. Being
recognized as a trusted advisor by our clients and contributing to problem-solving in collaboration with
staff and support order acquisition, eventually growing into an executive leadership role at YTI.
