About · Sherwood, Oregon

Built by a scientist,
not a SaaS company.

Most "AI marketing" comes from faceless software companies. SalesNinja comes from a Ph.D. who lives here in Sherwood — and proved the system on his own family's business before offering it to anyone else.

Semiconductor precision, brought to local business.

Most "AI marketing" comes from faceless software companies. SalesNinja comes from a scientist who lives here in Sherwood. By day, Mamoru Imade, Ph.D., is a senior process engineer for a leading global semiconductor-equipment company — optimizing the manufacturing of the world's most advanced microchips for top-tier foundries. A former Associate Professor at Osaka University with 70+ peer-reviewed papers and $20M+ in led R&D (alongside Nobel Laureates), he spent two decades making impossibly complex systems run with precision.

He built SalesNinja AI to bring that same precision to local businesses — starting with his own. Before offering it to anyone else, he installed the system on our family's local music school. It now stays fully booked with a 50+ family waitlist and is recommended as the #1 choice not just on Google Maps, but by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Once it worked for us, we opened it to other Sherwood-area owners.

SalesNinja isn't a chatbot you rent. It's a Growth Engine, engineered by someone who understands both the technology and the town.

The credentials behind the engine

Real expertise. Verifiable authority.

When ChatGPT and Google decide who to recommend, they reward real expertise. So do business owners. Here's what stands behind SalesNinja.

The N&M story

We proved it on our own family business first.

N&M Academy stands for Nozomi & Mamoru. Before SalesNinja was a product for anyone else, it was a fix for a problem in our own house: a local music school that was losing families to missed calls and quiet phones.

So Mamoru built the full Growth Engine and installed it on Nozomi Music School — the AI receptionist, the answer-ready website, and the automated follow-up. We watched it run, measured the money, and refined it until it worked.

Only then did we open it to other Sherwood-area owners. We don't sell anything we haven't proven on our own revenue first.

"Since implementing SalesNinja, our local presence in Sherwood hasn't just improved—it's dominated. Our lesson slots are permanently full with a waitlist of over 50 families. What shocked me most was seeing our school recommended as the #1 choice not just on Google, but by AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini."

What we believe

The convictions that shape how we build — and why SalesNinja looks nothing like a generic chatbot.

Speed wins.

A slow response loses the customer to the next result on Google. In this market, speed is the only currency — so we make sure you are always the one who answers first.

Measure money, not clicks.

A missed call is not a missed call. It is lost revenue you can measure. We track appointments, closed deals, and revenue generated — not vanity metrics.

It's a system, not a chatbot.

The whole pipeline matters: capture, unified memory, qualification, booking, and follow-up. A single gadget does not fix a leaky bucket. A complete Growth Engine does.

Be the answer, not just a link.

In the AI-search era, being recommended beats being a result. We engineer you to win Google Maps and ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity at the same time.

A real local partner beats a vendor.

We are not software you rent from across the country. We are a named, credentialed partner who lives here and answers the phone.

AI augments you. It doesn't replace the close.

The AI handles the routine work 24/7, then hands the VIP moment to a human when it matters. You keep the relationship and the close.
