CM Story: The Value of mSonar Beyond Business Card Management

Story: On a Shinkansen platform, Sales Manager Ryoko Kobayashi is asked by an interviewer, "What are the benefits of mSonar?" She responds, "The benefit is being able to see information beyond what is on a business card, allowing you to identify which clients you should visit next." She enthusiastically explains the appeal of mSonar, which is powered by Japan's largest corporate database, adding, "I originally thought it was just for business card management, so it has been incredibly helpful." When pressed about any downsides, she replies positively, "I'm just busy because I've realized there are so many more potential clients out there. But that's a good problem to have!" As the departure time approaches, she boards the train with ease.
