Quote requests from 8 of them.
Records from email and web-form outreach for one manufacturer, from July 24 to October 25, 2026. Eight companies sent 34 quote requests in total. Quote requests are classified from the reply content and are not orders. The number of registered new customers is not confirmed. Results vary with the offer, audience and timing.
When no scheduling link is provided, meeting coordination is handled by the customer.
Our Commitment
Build around the conditions
of manufacturing.
Material, process, equipment, quantity and delivery date. Manufacturing decisions depend on how these conditions fit together.
We examine what the team checks and how it decides, then reflect that knowledge in prospect selection, quotation procedures and software. We define the tasks AI handles and the decisions people review.
Our vision, mission and valuesCustomer Voices
From our customers
We attended three trade shows a year, spending more than ¥1 million each time and collecting over 500 business cards, but they did not lead to orders. With MAILGORI, at about one-tenth of the cost, 600 contacts produced close to ten quotation requests or expressions of interest.
More than 1,000 contact-form approaches produced no meetings, and 500 calls did not lead to a single order. With MAILGORI, we won two orders in the first month.
Individual customer experiences. Results vary with the offering, audience and operating conditions.
