Active attitudes and initiatives that led to many business negotiations

Theme: Support for business negotiations at international food business meetings

Seven second- and third-year students participated in international food business talks and conducted PR and business talks on food in Shimonoseki City. . Over half a year for this day, we conducted a company tour as interviews and product research to deepen our understanding of products, and devised ways to convey the appeal of the products in our own words. Teams worked together, such as creating posters mainly for second graders, business negotiations materials mainly for third graders, and thinking about displays and designs that would catch buyers' eyes.

Through this activity, I realized that depending on my way of communicating, it will lead to the development of new sales channels for companies. In addition, active communication and initiatives, such as making appointments to companies and listening to actual voices, were an experience that I could use when I became a member of society. With the goal of becoming a staff member of Shimonoseki City Hall, I would like to continue to act positively without forgetting this attitude.
