In a business setting, it is considered good etiquette to wait until everyone has been served before beginning to eat. This shows respect and helps build trust among business partners.
During the meal, it is important to be mindful of your manners. Avoid making loud noises while eating, such as smacking your lips or crunching loudly. Additionally, do not talk with your mouth full or while chewing.
Furthermore, appropriate attire and behavior are also important in a business setting. Before attending a business dinner or lunch, carefully review the invitation or information provided to ensure you are dressed appropriately and bring any necessary items. It is also important to avoid speaking out of turn and to show respect for your superiors or business partners by allowing them to speak first.
Overall, maintaining good manners and appropriate behavior during business meals is essential for building strong relationships with your business partners.
ビジネスの場での食事では、テーブルの全員が揃ってから一緒に食事を始めることがマナーとされています。これは、お互いに敬意を払い、ビジネスパートナーとしての信頼関係を築くためにも重要です。
また、食事中はマナーに注意しなければなりません。食べ物を口に運ぶ際に大きな音をたてたり、口の中で食べ物を噛み砕く音を出したりしないように気を付けましょう。また、食べ物を噛んでいる最中に話をすることは避け、口の中に食べ物が入ったまま話をしないように注意しましょう。
さらに、ビジネスの場での食事では、テーブルマナーに加えて、適切な服装や振る舞いも重要です。会食の招待を受けた際には、事前に招待状や案内文をよく確認し、服装や持ち物、持参するものなどについても注意深く対応しましょう。また、上司やビジネスパートナーが発言する前に、自分から発言することは控え、上司やビジネスパートナーの発言に敬意を払うことが大切です。
以上のように、ビジネスの場での食事においては、マナーを守り、適切な振る舞いを心がけることが、ビジネスパートナーとの信頼関係を築くためにも大切です。

![Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...]()
Why take a business trip to Japan?
Since Japan opened its borders at the end of last year after its isolation due to Covid-19, I have already made three business trips there. With remote work so widespread these days, you might wonder what the point of traveling to Japan is, but talking on the phone or communicating via video conference has a completely different impact than face-to-face. When you talk in person, there’s more input that goes into it that you cannot feel online beyond words, like the atmosphere, the environment, facial expressions, and attitude.
In addition, we can also talk about difficult topics that are hard to discuss online when meeting in person. So, I think going on a business trip is well worth the expense. It also lets people know we’re serious about what we do.
Now, business trips to Japan cost much more than before the Covid-19 pandemic. First, there’s the cost of travel. I used to fly business class, but recently, I’ve started using economy (premium economy) because the price went up. The cost of business class in the old days and the current cost of the premium economy class are almost the same price. Then there’s the cost of hotels, which I think has gone up by more than 50% compared to prices before Covid-19. Nowadays, I often stay at business hotels instead of hotels like New Otani.
Public transportation (airplanes, trains, buses, and cabs in Japan) and other forms of transportation, however, don’t seem to have increased in price as much. But unlike the U.S., people use public transportation more often in Japan. If you really want to do business in Japan, it’s worthwhile to make a business trip to Japan even with these expenses in mind. It also isn’t a bad idea to visit Japan once and experience Japan firsthand.

I think today was my first time playing 18 holes of golf. Although I was able to hit some good shots, most of them were bad. I realize that I need to play more often to improve my game. Currently, I really suck at golf.
It's just like in business - you can't expect to succeed on your first try. You need to keep practicing and learning from your mistakes.
今日は18ホールのゴルフを今年初めてプレイしたと思います。良いショットも何回か打てましたが、ほとんどが悪かったです。もっとプレイしてスキルを上げる必要があると気づきました。現状、私はゴルフが本当に下手です。
ビジネスと同じで、最初に成功することを期待することはできません。練習を続けて、失敗から学び続ける必要があります。

![Never forget the purpose.]()
My company, Pacific Software Publishing, Inc., develops and sells software-based services. Among the services we offer are web and email hosting services. To provide these services, we have several associated applications. For example, suppose a customer needs a program that we do not provide within our hosting services. If they request the development of such an application, a software development company would estimate the required resources for its development and charge a fee for their work. However, in the case of PSPINC, the purpose of the development is to sell our services to a wider audience, and software development is merely a means to that end.
Therefore, we may develop the required application ourselves and integrate it into our services, rather than requiring the customer to fully bear the development costs. This allows the customer to obtain the necessary application without having to pay the full cost. In addition, by publicly releasing the developed applications, we can improve our services for all customers. For us, development is not the purpose but merely a means to expand future sales. If we lose sight of this and make development costs the purpose, we will lose our focus on the original goal. Our unique characteristic is to never forget the original purpose.
私の会社、Pacific Software Publishing, Inc.、ではソフトウェアを使ったサービスを開発し、販売しています。販売するサービスの中にはWebやEmailのホスティングサービスが含まれます。これらのサービスを提供するためには、付随するアプリケーションが必要になります。例えば、お客様が提供するアプリケーションが、ホスティングサービス以外のプログラムを必要とする場合があります。そのようなアプリケーションの開発依頼があった場合、通常のソフトウェア開発会社であれば、そのアプリケーションの開発に必要な工数を見積もり、対価を支払って開発を行います。しかし、PSPINCでは、開発の目的がより多くの方々にサービスを販売することであるため、ソフトウェア開発はそのための手段にすぎません。
したがって、開発費を100％お客様に負担してもらうのではなく、我々が開発を行い、サービスに取り入れることもあります。お客様は開発費用を全額負担することなく、必要なアプリケーションを手に入れることができます。また、開発したアプリケーションを公開し、サービスの改善に役立てることができます。このように、我々にとっての開発は目的ではなく、今後の販売拡大の手段に過ぎません。もし、開発費を目的にしてしまうと、本来の目的を見失い、失敗することになります。本来の目的を忘れず、我々の特徴を生かしていくことが大切です。

How Small Businesses Can Survive
Today, with labor costs, insurance, rent, utilities, office equipment, and other costs rising, more and more companies believe they have no choice but to raise their product prices. However, in some cases, raising prices may narrow the market and ultimately reduce revenues. Furthermore, with the economy still in the doldrums, investing to increase profits is difficult. For small businesses to survive under these circumstances, you can consider the following solutions:
1. Cutting expenses: You can reduce the deficit by cutting expenses for all staff members in the company. However, there’s a limit to what can be done now when prices are rising. Just take care not to cut expenses so much that they interfere with work.
2. Streamlining work: You can reduce costs by streamlining work without sacrificing quality. Introducing technologies such as digital transformation (DX) to automate and streamline work is important.
3. Adopt new business models: Traditional business models are no longer viable, so it’s necessary to consider new business models. Examples include online services and crowdfunding-based business models.
4. Cultivate new markets: Besides the domestic market, it’s also important to look at overseas markets to cultivate new ones. Developing products and services that are in high demand in foreign markets can provide a new source of income.
5. Increase customer satisfaction and repeat business by offering products and services that meet customers’ needs. It’s important to communicate closely with customers and understand their needs. By increasing customer satisfaction, you can gain new customers through word of mouth from your customers.
These are just a few ways small businesses can survive. All these methods should be adopted flexibly according to the strengths and characteristics of the company. It’s also important to stay informed about new technologies and business models and incorporate them as early as possible.

![Utilizing Google Advertisements]()
Have you ever run Google ads? It's a quick way to boost your search rankings. If you've used it before or are currently using it, how was the response?
Different companies offer varying levels of support for ad management. While some only assist with ad setup, PSPINC offers support before and after setup.
However, if you're interested in running Google ads, we don't immediately launch them. This is because if the website that the ad leads to isn't user-friendly with a clear path, your ad spend will go to waste. That's why we provide advice on website improvement and target audience, ensuring your ad is as effective as possible.
We also monitor performance and adjust keywords and targets as necessary after the ad is displayed.
If you're interested in Google ad management, please feel free to consult us. Consultation is, of course, free of charge.
早速ですが、みなさんはGoogle広告を出したことがありますか？
Google広告は、検索順位を手っ取り早く上げるための手段の一つです。実際に利用したことがある方や現在利用している方はいらっしゃいますか？その際の反応はどうでしたか？
広告運用する会社によって、サポート内容が様々です。広告設定のみをサポートする会社もある一方、私たちPSPINCは、広告設定前、設定後のサポートを充実させております。
ただ、Google広告に興味を持っていただいた方でも、すぐに広告を出すわけではありません。その理由は、クリックされた場合にたどり着くウェブサイトがユーザーにとって簡潔であり、きちんと導線が確保できているかどうかを確認する必要があるからです。広告費を無駄にしないためにも、ウェブサイトの改善などアドバイスを行い、広告を出したときの効果が最大になるように進めます。
広告が表示された後も、しっかりとパフォーマンスをモニターし、必要に応じてキーワードやターゲットなどを調節していきます。
Google広告運用にご興味がある方は、ぜひ私たちに一度ご相談ください。ご相談はもちろん無料です。
