INTERVIEW – Domestic – Kansai Wire Netting Co., Ltd.

You can demonstrate your own ideas and suggestions.
Kansai Wire Netting's sales attraction.

The most rewarding thing is when you can propose the value of alpha.

Our sales job is to propose and sell conveyor belts, screens, filters, etc., which are Kansai Wire Netting's main products, according to customer needs. However, since most of our products are not ready-made products but tailor-made products according to customer's issues and requests, I think that the greatest appeal of our sales staff is to be able to demonstrate my own ideas and suggestions while consistently engaging in product development and design stages to delivery and maintenance.
On the other hand, rather than entrusting everything to each sales person, our company also has a strong aspect of "team sales" in which we work with our bosses and seniors while sharing the product knowledge and know-how accumulated within the department.
That's the most rewarding moment when the entire sales department is able to think about the customer and propose the value of the request + Alpha.

We want to create the industry's first and the world's first products and develop new customers.

I have always been interested in manufacturing, especially the process of producing products, and at Kansai Wire Netting, I was strongly attracted to the fact that I was able to propose products suitable for customers' needs while being involved in the process, and I decided to join the company. We will continue to contribute to solving problems for more customers, develop the industry's first and the world's first new products based on this experience, and send them to the world. In order to solidify our "leading company in Asia" that we are aiming for, we will continue to develop new customers who have no track record of trading.
To that end, I would like to improve my "listening ability" to find essential issues for customers by listening to their problems and exchanging opinions and advice. And eventually, I want to be a salesman who can tell customers that "I can consult anything with K.D."

The teacher's words have learned the importance of clarifying what to do.

“Calculate back from your goals and clarify what you need to do now.” This is a word that my teacher taught me, who was working hard toward the goal of becoming the best student in American football in Japan when I was in college. For me, who was doing my best by doing my daily practice and just working hard, clarify the gap between the ideal image I want to become and the current self, and to fill the difference I can do now I remember that I was strongly pierced in my chest with words that taught me the importance of thinking and acting on what I need to do now.
This idea has a lot in common with work, and it is easy to mechanically process the tasks in front of you on a daily basis, but considering how this has led to achieving your own goals and contributing to the company, and reviewing your attitude and approach to work may change your growth speed naturally.

Message from Seniors

Sales Department, Osaka Branch Manager Y.M.　Joined in 2016

With a fresh smile, the attitude of working positively on everything is attractive.

When he joined K.D., I took over the area I was in charge of when he joined the company, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I had no opportunity to talk until I visited the customer, so I thought it was a quiet personality. However, when I talked, I had an obedient personality, a fresh smile, and an attitude to work positively on everything, so I was able to understand immediately. In addition, there are many points that I should follow, such as the strength of our inquisitiveness for our products and the attitude of thinking until I am convinced of what I have doubts. I sometimes see you stuck at the desk because I think too much (laughs), but I think it is proof that you are taking on a new challenge, so let's do our best together in this way!
