What your buyer circulates when you're not in the room.
Japanese sales materials and a ringi-sho template, written for an approval meeting.

01What Japanese buyers check
What happens after the first meeting.
In Japanese B2B, the decision is made in a room you are not in.

Something to circulate
Several decision-makers sign off through an approval round, often over three to six months.

Japanese good enough to approve
The quality of the Japanese in your materials feeds directly into the decision.

An answer to “send me more”

Questions about sales materials.
Can you translate our existing deck?
We write it in Japanese from your positioning rather than translating the English one. A translated deck carries a Western structure and claims into a room that reads them differently — and it shows.
What is a ringi-sho?
The internal approval document a Japanese company circulates to several decision-makers before it buys. B2B decisions often take three to six months because of it. The template gives your buyer what they need to take you through it.
Do we need both?
Not always. Which materials your situation needs is decided by the Market Entry Report, alongside the rest of the plan.
