"First of all I have to say, that the trip to Japan was worth the money and the jetlag. Everything was perfectly organized, our consultant was also great and she understood our technology very quickly. She really did a great job in every single presentation, especially when the customer got very serious and bombarded her with questions for more than 3 hours. I insist on working with her for the ongoing and future prospects. The meetings went much better than I expected. The people were very much interested, very responsive, shared ideas with us and I strongly believe that we will make business in Japan pretty soon.
