UNI-SQUARE
Our NAKAMA’s “New Year Resolutions”
Happy New Year!
We hope you had fun and relaxing New Year holidays with your families and friends. We wish you a great fresh start at work.
New Year gave us a great opportunity to renew UNI-SIGHT’s design. With our new UNI-SIGHT format, we no longer have a theme of the year. Instead, we will cover “people, objects and incidents” of UNIVA CAPITAL Group from various angles. We will touch upon not only business but also fun topics such as hobbies and private lives of our NAKAMA. Instead of “Feature”, we will call this section, “UNI-SQUARE”, referring to a place where variety of UNIVA CAPITAL Group stories are gathered.
Our renewal includes usability enhancements as well. UNI-SIGHT is optimized for small screens. It is now easy to read UNI-SIGHT with smart phones and tablets. Readers can send a feedback to “Message” and “UNI-SQUARE” by pressing “Like (♡)” button or adding comments. We look forward to your feedbacks, opinions and questions. Let’s create a vibrant UNIVA CAPITAL Community!
In our first renewed issue of UNI-SIGHT, we will share new year resolutions of our NAKAMA from all over the world.
Marin Iioka
Customer Success Division
UNIVA Gyro-n
My resolution for this year is “Calm and self-possessed”. In the past two years, I had had a dual role in the Sales and Customer Success divisions. Starting this year, I will focus on Customer Success Division work. I was hastily following my seniors in sales, going every which way to fulfill my tasks. In 2022, I would like to tap into the knowledge that I accumulated while I worked closely with our customers as a sales person. I want to lead the team and provide customer-focused support while promoting tool usage and upselling. Also, I want to fulfill a long time wish and run a marathon this year.
Naomi Oshiro
Director or Marketing
UNIVA America, Inc.
COVID-19 made it difficult for Japanese companies entering the U.S. market. At UNIVA America, we want to support them. I would like to come up with an effective mixture of online and offline marketing support that can directly help their sales. I am personally interested in the concept of sustainable development goals (SDGs). I learned about sustainable business strategies at Harvard Business School in 2021, and I hope to use the knowledge. I want to provide client-focused services that contribute both to SDGs and business growth.
Qinyi Wu
Accounting Department
UNVIA Guangzhou Trading Co. Ltd.
Happy New Year! I returned to work in September 2021 after giving birth to my second child. I was frustrated that I could not help while the company was having a difficult time due to COVID-19. This is my sixth year with UNIVA Guangzhou Trading (UGT), and I am feeling stronger loyalty to the company. During my maternity leave, UGT launched a new business marketing high quality eggs. I would like to contribute to the new business as well as continue my regular work in accounting, as my perspective as a mother may be helpful for the business. Please stay tuned with UGT in 2022.
Yohei Takabayashi
Section Chief
UNIVA Mutual Aid Association
Since 2020, UNIVA Mutual Aid Association has made a large number of insurance payments due to COVID-19. While the COVID crisis appears to continue, we are aiming to become an even more “customer-focused mutual aid association”. We are in the process of developing new products. Our offering already includes life insurance, and now we are developing products that insure against natural disasters. Stay tuned for our new products coming in 2022!
Tomonori Okazaki
UNI Marche
2020 and 2021 were difficult years, but there seem to be signs of retuning to normalcy. It will be five years on May 31st, since UNI Marche was launched in 2017. We have been fortunate to have your support and to have been able to provide safe food with great quality. This year, we will focus on providing food products that bring smiles to our consumers and make them happy. We will also offer products that we love to introduce to our customers. It is our hope to support your life and business through our food offerings. We are determined to reach profitability this year and appreciate your continued support.
Lau Chi Keung, Jason
Customer Service
Naturally Plus Hong Kong
I am in charge of salon operations, video/photo shoots, SNS promotion, event planning and poster design. We are starting to hold in-person events due to easing of COVID-19 related regulations. I would like to increase new member registrations through events, and to promote “good competition” among our members. I want to contribute to reaching our company goal of increased profit. Digitization of our salon functions is another goal. That involves enhancing the usability of our member tools, and it will improve our employee’s work efficiency. We would like to build a cutting edge company that young and capable people want to work for. It may take time, but I will work with my NAKAMA to realize this dream and build a new NPHK.
Ade Syafitri
Coordinator
Naturally Plus Indonesia
Happy New Year. In Indonesia, the number of COVID-19 positive cases has been decreasing rapidly since October 2021. In-person seminars have re-started, and we are seeing stronger momentum in our business activities. We have not been able to conduct campaign tours during the last two years, but this year, we hope to re-start them. I would love to bring our members to Bali Island in spring and to Japan in fall this year. I will work hard to bring Naturally Plus Indonesia back to its vibrant state and good business results this year.
Hiroki Tadokoro
Head of Sales Strategy Office
Naturally Plus Co. Ltd.
This is the year of “Tiger” and more precisely the year of “Water Tiger” in the Chinese astrological calendar. “Water Tiger” represents a year of growth in which new shoots start emerging after a harsh winter. It is my resolution to make this year a foundation of Naturally Plus’s growth. We had a good year in 2021 due to successful sales campaigns linked with Fans’ TV. These campaigns contributed to the final sales figure for our 23rd fiscal year. However, we fell short by not using the momentum to increase new registrations and product purchase rates. This year, we will create a continuous flow of sales activities to “bring next sales”. We will plan new tactics and implement new strategies to achieve this goal.
Casey Tee
Assistant General Manager
Naturally Plus Malaysia
New Year is a chance for many of us to get rid of some old habits and bring positive and productive changes in our day to day lives. Setting new year’s resolution is a good move to renew ourselves year after year. I am a working woman, to me health is the most precious thing. A healthy diet is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle and this is my goal. While the entire world is battling against COVID-19, it is important now, more than ever, to have a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining a positive lifestyle and mindset can help us live a healthy life. My new year’s resolution goes hand in hand with Naturally Plus vision to promote wellness and healthy living worldwide. Let’s move forward towards a better world!
Samuel Chung
Assistant General Manager
Naturally Plus Singapore
I would like to make this year “the year of resonance”. My children will be transitioning to middle school, high school and college. This will be a year of change and hope for our family. I hope to communicate closely with my family and support them, so our growing children can face new challenges in life. Through my work, I will support our summit achievers, so each of them can generate two or more members to qualify for SEA-LI Central Europe Tour. In addition, I would like to help Naturally Plus Singapore achieve our annual sales goal and reach profitability two years in a row, so we all can appreciate the fruit of our hard work. These will be my goals throughout 2022.
Suwanma Santithaweechai
Leader, Human Resource/General Affairs
Naturally Plus Thailand
COVID-19 changed people’s lives. People’s interests in healthcare became much greater. I think of this as a tail wind for bringing our high quality health promotion products to people in Thailand. We have four necessities in life, “food, shelter, clothing, medicines”; mobile phones are now considered to be a fifth necessity. I would like Naturally Plus’s products to become the sixth. I joined the company two years ago and became a leader last year. I am a back office worker. I would like to meet my colleagues’ expectation and build an effective back office to provide great support to our staff.
Eric Bronk
Media Design Specialist
Naturally Plus USA
For 2022, my resolution is to help Naturally Plus USA (NPUSA) grow another year where we can continue to reinforce our digital presence online with more content. As we expand more into social media platforms and video content, it has become apparent that the need is to focus in these areas so that we can share our company, products and services flawlessly with our prospects. On a personal level, my resolution is to keep living a healthier life and making better choices financially.
Ho Thi Bich Phuong
Business Coordinator
Naturally Plus Vietnam
We, at Naturally Plus Vietnam, are making every effort to get more and more people in Vietnam to use Naturally Plus’s high quality health promotion products. My job as a business coordinator is to promote digital transformation. My specific tasks include enhancing our brand recognition, improving our “agent support service” and increasing retail sales through additional sales channels and the affiliate marketing program. Our motto is “Letting more and more people know of Naturally Plus’s health promotion products”. With that motto, we will build Naturally Plus to become a brand that everyone in Vietnam knows.
Han Yuseung
Naturally Plus Korea
Six months has passed since I joined Naturally Plus Korea in June last year. I had some concerns when I started. In Korea, many people have negative images with MLM companies, and I had no experience with MLM business. But I am working hard, and I learn every day. When I see President Takahashi’s sincere interactions with our customers and how he works, I feel like, “I want to work harder”. I want to continue making effort so more and more people will share and act on Naturally Plus’s vision.
Happy New Year 2022
