Business Communication skills in Japanese:

 
Simple language skills does not guarantee you successful communication with a Japanese company in a business situation. You need to be able to understand what is communicated to you in Japanese, you need to be able to read between the lines to ask the right questions, you also need to be able to communicate your message in a way that Japanese understands. This is one of my major skills. Further, you also have to be able to read a Japanese body language and your own body language also tells a lot about you, so you must master it. This is also one of my major skills.
