How we requested web consulting
Two years ago, our staff attended a seminar held by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of a neighboring town. The lecturer at that time was Mr. Nakayama.
I recall that the staff reported that the seminar was very well received, that Mr. Nakayama was very personable, and that the seminar materials could be used for new business sales applications.
I met him on the last day of the seminar and we exchanged business cards. He was soft-spoken and did not have the teacher’s perspective or tone of voice typical of web consultants, so I was impacted in a different way.
At the time, our main business was web production, and we had no other products or services to speak of, so we were looking for another pillar of business to launch.
Also, a Chamber of Commerce grant project was open for applications, and we wanted to use outside resources while taking advantage of this grant.
Learning about Mr. Nakayama was a good boost.
Issues and concerns prior to consulting request
However, we did not make a decision right away and request consulting services.
Actually, I had one concern.
I had often heard from fellow local business owners that they had paid high fees forconsulting services from the mainland and had ended up with nothing to show for it.
The consultants are.
- They were very responsive during first impressions and business meetings.”
- A “well-spoken presentation.”
- Pushing Closing.”
He said it was, and when he found out, he was pushed into a ton of work and asked for the job….
I am well aware that the consultants are not solely to blame, as it is the responsibility of the individual who made the decision. However, because of this, the impression and trust level of local business owners in Okinawa towardweb consultants from outside the prefecture was quite low. Of course, I had heard such stories, so I was wary of them.
However, when the staff actually attended Mr. Nakayama’s seminar, it was different.
He said that unlike such consultants, he made a good impression.
Later I also met him in person and exchanged business cards with him, and I was pleased with his attitude and atmosphere of listening to people carefully.
So I trusted my intuition and came to the decision, saying, “This person will be fine.
I think Mr. Nakayama’s personality is also a factor in this area.
You can find a web consultant that doesn’t look like a web consultant at …….
I am glad I asked for the consultancy.
What impressed you about the consulting services,
Teaching answers immediately, schedule-oriented instruction and consulting
The idea was not to make the project work, but to move forward with the project with one’s own hands, persistently squeezing it out of the person in question.
There seemed to be very little “quick fixes.”
We had consulting for about 10 months, and we had 240 exchanges via chat work.
…
There is one more thing that impressed me.
Our initial idea was to provide consulting services from the development of a simple sales strategy to its implementation and deployment.
However, when we actually started consulting, we were able to receive a very broad range of general consulting services, including client selection, sales tool creation, copywriting, web design, analysis and improvement using effectiveness measurement tools, and I think there was much more.
His wealth of knowledge and expertise was a constant source of surprise and discovery.
It was also a good opportunity to learn the limits of my own personal know-how and knowledge.
The know-how gained will allow us to evolve our services and increase sales and satisfaction.
A new business project that we undertook after consulting with Mr. Nakayama. We decided to put the project on hold because we thought it was too early for our new products and services, but as a result of the experience we gained from Mr. Nakayama’s guidance, our main business, web production, has increased in profit.
The root of this result lies in the fact that we created the LP (landing page) and free guidebook ourselves with guidance and advice from Mr. Nakayama. The experience of working together through trial and error was a great asset.
This experience and know-how has been fully utilized in our core business of web production, leading to increased satisfaction with site production and referrals, resulting in strong sales and profits and stable cash flow.
The sales strategy developed through the 3C analysis was also fully utilized in attracting prospective clients, and sales became much easier because of the strategic marketing thinking that went into attracting them.
It seems to me that we have evolved from providing the “product” of a website to providing the “value” of marketing thinking.
Message to everyone
After consulting with Mr. Nakayama, the only books I buy are marketing books.
I feel like I have completely shifted my thinking from the engineering side of web production to areas such as marketing and behavioral psychology.
I feel that Mr. Nakayama’s guidance and advice are not only to solve a single project, problem, or concern, but also to “trigger awareness” consulting to grow the management or even the thinking of the staff.
If you are struggling with web and internet utilization, we recommend that you consult with us first.
I am sure that the management of course will gain valuable experience and opportunities to grow the company.
