Q&A with Terry Browning

How and why did you first become interested in the Japan market?

When we were ready for international distribution in 2007, we felt it was important to find the "right" partner, or distributor, so that our programs and system would be represented to the highest quality and standard possible. We felt this was extremely important to ensure MOSSA would be perceived as a premium brand rather than a low-cost alternative. Understanding that the Japan market seeks high-quality products and appreciates "systems", we felt we had an opportunity in Japan unique to other markets worldwide.

What are some of the challenges of doing business in Japan?

The major challenge doing business in Japan is truly understanding the culture. As we have experienced, it's as important how things are done as what is done. Another challenge is Japan's tremendous quest for quality. With this quest, the Japan market has made us a better company.

Why did you decide to do business with Bravo?

We had a long-standing relationship with John Boardman which stretched back to the days when our first product as a vendor, The Original STEP, was launched worldwide in the 1990's. Once we were prepared to launch internationally, this history with John was integral to begin strategy discussions. What we came to understand quickly was Bravo's commitment to excellence, patience to ensure the launch would be successful, and dedication to absorbing not only our products, but more importantly, our culture and beliefs.

How has it been to do business with Bravo?

Our partnership has exceeded ALL expectations. We recently were part of Bravo's MOSSA 10-year Anniversary Celebration Tour and we were so proud of what Bravo had built and nurtured with our brand, programs, and systems. From customers offering our programs to their members to Bravo staff, we were so humbled and impressed to see and feel the passion and appreciation of MOSSA with the ultimate goal of truly getting more people moving. Bravo is a partner that we trust 100% with our brand and products and feel we couldn't be represented any better in Japan, or anywhere else in the world.
