Japan, foreign people, and sales
You shall not speak in Japanese!
Speaking in Japanese is counterproductive.
I don’t think my Japanese language skills are anywhere near good enough for selling
Japanese think of foreign people as “sensei”. The wise one that they should cling to in order to learn “English”. If you speak Japanese they will hear every mistake you say and either get sick of hearing crap Japanese or want to correct you. In that situation the Japanese is in the “sensei” position. Which is fine, except when you are doing sales.
In sales, you are presenting a “value proposition”. Why, whatever you are talking about, is going to help the client in earning them more money. So having to listen to crap Japanese or correct your Japanese is going to distract from the purpose of the phone call, the “value proposition”.
If you are sensei and speaking English then the Japanese listener wants to understand what you are saying in English. This is what they’ve been taught to do since a very early age. So in English, Japanese are more receptive to whatever you have to say as long as it’s a business topic that makes sense (ur “value proposition”).
So speaking Japanese is counterproductive.
