As a buyer for “Mayonaka Ichiba,”
I want to ensure
customer satisfaction
and contribute to society.
After joining Kansai TV HAZZ, I was initially assigned to the Creative Business Division, and from 2020 I was transferred to the Mail Order Business Division and joined the team behind the “Mayonaka Ichiba” program. Kansai TV HAZZ is a company that allows each of its employees to give new things a go and take on new challenges every day with the help of friendly advice from senior staff.
"As a buyer (sales representative) that belongs to the Mail Order Business Division, I am mainly involved in the production of “Mayonaka Ichiba.” I discover new clients using the Internet and so on as a source of information and negotiate the selling of products on the show by email or telephone. I put forward the products I discover at the weekly buyers' meeting, and 11 buyers, including the producer, then decide which products to showcase on the show. Once the products are decided, we consider ways in which we can maximize the appeal of the products. It is also an important task to check whether expressions are based on the Law for Preventing Unjustifiable Extra or Unexpected Benefit and Misleading Representation and whether it violates compliance (broadcasting rules). I get ready for the studio recording by creating pre-recorded video footage while at the same time asking numerous questions to my senior colleagues and getting corrections and advice."
"I have showcased only one product on “Mayonaka Ichiba” to date, and so I'm currently studying how to communicate the appeal of products and how it can lead to sales. On “Mayonaka Ichiba,” the honest reactions of the two members of the comedy duo High Heels greatly influence the sales of products. It is important to be able to make a presentation so that others can get a sense of what makes the product great in a short space of time.I am very happy when the demonstrator makes a script by me informing them of the product features and selling points and when I am able to achieve the sales target with video footage that I considered how it should be produced."
When I was sat down in my hometown of Kansai and thinking of where I wanted to work, I learned about HAZZ when a family member recommended the company saying that “someone I know works there and is very reliable, and the company itself has a mission and is well-grounded.” When I actually met the person in question, I decided to join HAZZ after seeing him happily talking about his job and the company. Even though I had no experience, I was attracted by the idea of being involved in events and working on the set of TV programs.
It’s the kind of atmosphere where everyone can talk openly with each other. Immediately after joining Kansai TV HAZZ and immediately after moving to my current department, a senior member of staff in charge of training looked after me, but they said that “You can ask anyone and they will teach you, and you will learn more from working with lots of different people,” and so I now ask questions and seek advice from various different senior members of staff. As the office has adopted a system where you can sit where you like, there is no sense of divide between departments, and it is an environment where it is easy to talk to anyone.
"We are planning on making HAZZ original masks from the desire to contribute to society during the Covid-19 pandemic. I met representatives from a company that makes masks that are soft on the skin, and as the company is also actively trying to achieve SDGs like HAZZ, I proposed the idea that we join forces. These masks are set to be novelty goods we give to clients, gifts for viewers, and donations to various places. We also hope that we can provide some support by having people with disabilities help in the process of making the masks. I gave an in-house presentation the other day, and I got a great reaction. The president said to me directly, “Great job!” I'm having a lot of fun working here. I really want to succeed here."
I’m the kind of person who likes to do things indoors. I spend a lot of time sleeping or watching Korean dramas while doing yoga or stretching at home. When it’s possible to travel again, I would like to visit places to try delicious food and sake from all over Japan on my annual family trip!
I want to take on more challenges as part of a hugely passionate team.
