[Reality: Approximately 40% of Exhibition Business Cards are Left Unattended] Only 1% Follow-up the Next Day—WeSales AI Receives Multiple Appointment Acquisition Reports 7 Days After Release. Google CASA Tier 2 Clearance for Complete Automation from 'Business Card to Business Meeting'.

WeSales Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kaiki Kimura) announces that its sales support tool, 'WeSales AI', has received multiple reports of successful appointment acquisitions from users, just three weeks after its official release on April 20, 2026, confirming its effectiveness in the field. Today, the company also announced the successful passing of Google's security CASA Tier 2 review and the implementation of a new feature that provides real-time notifications of target companies' latest news. Furthermore, integration with Google Calendar is slated for an upcoming release, which will enable the entire process from business card scanning to setting business meeting schedules to be completed via a single smartphone.

Structural Problem in the Industry: 'Neglected Business Cards'

'If only I had followed up sooner, that deal could have been closed'—have you ever had such an experience?

Exhibitions and networking events are frontline sales activities where many companies invest significant costs and time to find new customers. However, in reality, these efforts often do not yield results.

A survey targeting 301 sales and marketing personnel with exhibition experience revealed that 36.9% felt they 'hardly utilized' business cards obtained, and 4.3% felt they 'did not utilize them at all,' meaning approximately 40% of business cards were not effectively used. (Survey by Hammock Co., Ltd., 2022)

Even more serious is the speed of follow-up. The most common response for the period until contacting customers after an exhibition was 'within 1 month' (31.9%). In contrast, only 1.0% of companies were able to follow up within the next day. (Same survey)

After an exhibition, sales communications from various companies arrive all at once. The ability to act without getting buried, while the recipient's memory and enthusiasm are still fresh—that speed and quality determine whether a deal will be made. Data also shows that approximately 80% of unfollowed prospects purchase from a competitor within two years, meaning 'neglecting business cards' is not just a lost opportunity but directly leads to profit transfer to competitors.

Why can't companies act, even when they know the problem?

The answer is simple: there isn't physically enough time.

The time required for research and writing for a single company's follow-up averages 15 to 30 minutes. For 100 business cards, this easily exceeds 25 hours. It is physically almost impossible to complete this task by the next day while managing daily duties.

WeSales AI resolves this bottleneck with technology.

'Appointments Secured the Next Day'—Voices from the Field

Just seven days after its official release, multiple sales professionals using WeSales AI began reporting successful appointment acquisitions.

This is by no means a coincidence. The emails generated by WeSales AI are personalized based on the latest news and vision of the target company, fundamentally differing from 'mass sending templates.' Recipients respond precisely because they feel the message was written specifically for them.

Scan on the train ride home from an exhibition, and by the time you arrive at the station, the follow-up email is sent.

This allows individuals to overturn the industry reality of only 1% next-day follow-up.

New Feature: Real-time News Notifications to Seize the 'Right Timing'

Speed is not the only key to converting leads into deals. Whether one can make contact with 'the topic that resonates most with the other party right now' influences the reply rate.

With the newly implemented real-time news notification feature, users will receive alerts the moment a new press release or news item is published by a company whose business card has been registered.

A phrase like 'I recently saw the news about your company's XX' opens the door to the other person's heart. WeSales AI automatically delivers such phrases. It also provides the optimal timing and topic for following up with contacts from whom time has passed since an exhibition, rekindling dormant business cards into potential deals.

Google Certified Security Review 'CASA Tier 2' Passed—Personal Sales AI Achieves Enterprise-Level Reliability

WeSales AI has successfully passed the Cloud Application Security Assessment 'CASA Tier 2' defined by the App Defense Alliance (a security coalition led by Google, Meta, and Microsoft).

CASA Tier 2 is a security standard required by Google for applications that access Google APIs, such as Gmail and Google Calendar. It involves an independent review by a third-party organization across 14 categories, including API security, data processing, and authentication flows.

It is extremely rare for a tool priced for individual users at 980 yen per month to clear this standard, signifying both 'affordability and safety'.
