VS Digestive Disese

Japan Digestive Disease Week (JDDW) had been held in Yokohama last week. It is one of the largest conference for medical doctors in Japan. My company opened a book store there.
The store opened from eight o'clock. So, to prepare for many things, I had to get up at five o'clock. Usually it is my sleeping deeply time. Then, my body condition during the conference was very bad.
Why did my company opened the store everyday so early? Because doctors are very busy, they started their meeting from early morning. At breakfast time, lunch time and dinner time, they had many meetings. That's why we had to start to work from early morning along with them.
Even though my mooring was early, my night was same. After hard working, my body requires for liquer heeling. So, next early morning, I had to get up with more damaged body.

The study of Digestive Disease in Japan is developed the most in the world. I don't know the reason. Maybe we Japanese have week digestive organs, or we tend to eat and drink manta types of food, thus we have many digestive diseases.
Anyway, because the study in Japan is the highest, we can sell only Japanese books. Of course, my company displayed many foreign books there, but I couldn't see the scene that the books were bought.

As you know, doctors are rich. Their shopping style was good for me. They wouldn't check price tags. For they are busy, their decision making for buying is very fast. And, usually medical books are expensive. I have to add that their credit card is always sparkling.

Next year, this conference is going to be held in Fukuoka. Around 20 thousands doctors will join it. I have to arrange my business trip.

VS Guild

Last weekend, I participated in a business meeting in Yokohama and had a business dinner in China town witness many publishers and book sellers. The meeting has been managed by medical publishers, once a year. It was my first time to join it. From this summer, my main job is to sell medical books. So, the meeting was very useful for me. And more, the key note in the meeting was about electrical publication. A famous publisher taught us the trend of electrical books. I could get many useful informations there.

Each publishers are competitors. And, each book sellers are competitors. But, they looked friendly.
The world or market of medical publication is very special. They treat a very specific theme. The community is very small. That's why they know each other very much. They are connected by a kind of professional spirit.

It reminds me of a guild in the Middle ages. Although their relationship is very tight, they are very exclusive to others. Actually, it is very difficult to take part in the market of medical publication. Nobody teach us how to join it. Fortunately my company is big to some extent that I can contact the community. But, most book sellers can not reach the world.

Next week, I will join the biggest conference for the study of digestive organ in Japan. Maybe because Japan is one of the richest food intake countries, their study of digestive organ is the highest level in the world. I will be able to sell many books in the conference. Thanks to the knowledge I got from the Guild, my sales talk will work tremendously well.

It is very fortune that, next to the place of the conference, a big German beer event is held next week. After the work, I can enjoy German beer and sausages there. My digestive organ will also work tremendously well!
