Originally I like the meat, and when I was looking for a new job that I could make use of my part-time employment experience at a meat shop, I was interested in Atom’s dealings with not only wholesale of meat but also export / import and restaurant business. After joining this company, I was in charge of route sales at the sales department, and was assigned to the product section in 2014. Currently, I am responsible for beef in general, purchase products from domestic and overseas, process and sell.
The business which achieved in our company is the export of Japanese beef to the United States, Canada and Thailand. I attend a video conference with the US and Taiwan branch offices as well as the sales department and the product division meetings every week. We can take advantage of our strengths such as domestic and overseas information network and integrated system by our own factory to deal with a wide variety of products. Sometimes we handle a large number of transactions with a one phone call by my own judgment.
Beef has more than 100 parts, individual differences are seen even with the same brand name. The content of the request also varies depending on the customer such as the production area, standards, grade, usage, quantity. In import and export, we must also keep in mind the trends of tariffs and in foreign exchange. No matter what, customers are professionals of meat such as food manufacturers, trading companies, food service industry, wholesale company. Since we have to select goods on behalf of such good judges, we need certain expertise and appropriate experience, and also we are required to research and collect information daily.
It is the sales experience that is the backbone of the current work that has both pressure and responsibility. Purchase goods that you actually see and touch by yourself and agree with it. Drive 2 ton truck and deliver directly to customers. Listen to real opinion at the work site and make use of it to the next job. Such accumulation of days leads to confidence of the day.
Sometimes customers offer difficult matters. However, I never refuse it on the spot. I try to bring all my strength once I take it. Although it may be impossible to respond as a result, such efforts and sincerity may also be part of the credibility.
Our company has a wide range of business contents. Overseas business is expanding year by year, but we still grow. In that sense, there are many opportunities for new challenges, active opportunities and growth. In this company, you can realize what I want to do.
am able to act positively on things. While we appeal our unique strengths and benefits to other companies in the same industry and respond to customers' credit and expectations, we would like to build up actual results so that we can get order and increase the number of the country and quantity of exporting. I would like to continue to grow and love my favorite job more.
