Traveling all around Yokohama, Japan’s second-
largest city, is all in a day’s work for Teruhisa
Nakagame. He has worked as an Aflac sales agent for
14 years at the sales agency his father established in
1975, the year after Aflac entered Japan. Fifteen sales
agents work at the agency, which sells Aflac policies to
both individuals and payroll accounts. Recently, his
agency has been using more face-to-face sales
techniques to help consumers choose the products
most beneficial to their particular needs. Selling Aflac
policies gives Teruhisa a great sense of satisfaction and
pride, particularly when consumers thank him and tell
him that their Aflac policies helped provide financial
security when they needed it most.
Just like Aflac’s advertising in the United States, our
advertising in Japan features the Aflac Duck. As a
sales agent, Teruhisa counts on the support of the
Aflac Duck to help open doors and close sales.
