Sustainable Marketing Through Networking × Community

Amid rising advertising costs and intensifying competition for lead acquisition, the question of 'how to turn personal connections into sales' is gaining renewed attention. For small businesses and solo entrepreneurs, networking events offer high cost-effectiveness—around ¥200 per business card exchanged—yet the conversion rate to actual sales discussions remains at only about 5%. Most connections end up as 'forgettable encounters.' This webinar will explain the strategic design to move beyond networking events as mere 'business card exchange venues' and become the 'first name that comes to mind' when a need arises. We will analyze the root causes of poor results, including psychological barriers in first meetings, aversion to aggressive sales tactics, and the limitations of advisor models dependent on one-off referrals. A new model of customer acquisition combining network provision with business partnership will be introduced. This practical webinar is tailored for executives and business leaders seeking sustainable customer acquisition and long-term relationship building beyond one-time interactions.
