6． SWOT Analysis Our first priority is to get a first success project in order to gain a customer’ trust. We are promoting the differentiation by introducing excellent Bangladesh excellent companies. On the other hand, we are lack of financial power and sales channel. As an opportunity, Bangladesh government has promoted “Digital Bangladesh” such as IT companies in Bangladesh don’t have to pay corporation tax for five years and overseas remittance tax. Now, people need a reliable crowdsourcing site because the failure rate is high 10~20%. As a threat, it increases cost due to weak yen and doesn’t increase English speaker in exclusive freelancer PM. However, we will cover the threat by holding seminars since engineers want to learn English.

７． Promotion Strategy

　We will focus on face-to-face sales with BD related companies in initial sales promotion. The biggest reason is that clients can easily understand engineers’ skill by themselves. We provide high quality development with low costs and it is also possible to cultivate human resources of clients companies by taking advantage of the English human resource in partner companies.
