Our Position

We don't sell hours.
We provide the expertise that turns a foreign market into revenue.

Think of us the way you'd think of retaining a law firm: you engage NLKB for a specialised capability, not headcount. Language barriers, unwritten business customs, opaque decision-making structures — everything that makes Japan hard to sell into is what we navigate every day. We operate as an extension of your sales organisation, carrying your card and your quota.

Services

Three pillars, from outreach to revenue

I

Pipeline Generation

Targeting, outreach, and meeting-setting in the Japanese market. We combine local company databases with native-level outreach to build you a steady pipeline of qualified conversations.

II

Full-Cycle Sales

From first meeting through proposal, negotiation, and signature. Senior operators with enterprise closing experience in Japan carry direct revenue responsibility on your behalf.

III

Cross-Border Advisory

Market-entry strategy, sales-team design, and bilingual proposal materials. Practitioner-level guidance for the decisions that come before and after execution.

Process

Four steps

  1. Step 01

    Diagnose & design

    We analyse your current motion and target market, then design the outreach strategy and KPIs together.

  2. Step 02

    Launch outreach

    List building, bilingual messaging, first contact. We iterate quickly on early signal.

  3. Step 03

    Advance & close

    We move the meetings we create through your pipeline — and, where engaged, carry them to signature.

  4. Step 04

    Systematise & hand over

    The motion is documented as a repeatable process, handed to your team or run continuously by ours.
