FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if you could see which signature in a Beijing approval chain is actually holding up your deal? Imagine a pipeline review where everyone agrees whether the problem is the champion, the tender or the offer. It's like reading the routing slip on a stalled file instead of resending the file. Even if large accounts have always moved slowly here, the step that stops them can still be found.

Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
He closed over $7 million in deals, so a Beijing enterprise diagnosis begins with how approval travels, not with an org chart.
He started coaching basketball at 16, and he watches the whole possession before blaming the last pass; a stalled tender is studied the same way.
8-figure results have been produced by graduates applying the method, two of them tell their stories below, and a Beijing approval chain is examined with it.
He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. In a Chaoyang approval chain he fixes the weakest step first and reads the chain link by link.
The diagnosis follows each stalled account level by level, so it shows whether the deal is losing the sponsor, the evaluator or the signatory.
Recommendations fit the current procurement cycle and the team you already have, instead of a reorganisation that would miss this year's budget.
P.I.T.C.H. tests whether your sponsor can retell the offer in an internal meeting you will never attend, which is often the hidden break.
The b2b sales consulting in Singapore method, applied for Beijing rooms.
You map two or three stalled large accounts with us: who sponsors the deal, who evaluates it, who signs, and where each one went quiet.
The offer, the proposal and the conversations with each level are tested against that map with Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits.
You leave with the changes that matter for the current approval cycle, who on your side will make them, and how to tell within the cycle whether they worked.
If the stall turns out to be how the account team runs senior meetings, continue with sales training in Beijing. If stages and approvals need redesigning, see sales process coaching in Beijing.

Jason Lim's first sales job, at 21, was in luxury real estate. He later sold advertising contracts, copywriting, affiliate marketing, stocks and forex. He closed over $7 million in deals. The young man who had once feared the stage learned to stand on it.
Future of Selling, which he founded under DreaMaker Ventures, is where he teaches P.I.T.C.H. He first coached basketball at 16. At 26, he started a Facebook advertising agency. He kept learning from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. His clients include Skystone Asset Management and Signarama Singapore. Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio have trained with him too.
Users in Haidian were happy, and the framework agreement still did not get through the next level of approval.
Your contact believes in the project and still comes back from the internal meeting with new questions you thought were answered.
The bid team adds sections to cover every concern, and the evaluation still treats you as one of several similar suppliers.
Time buyers spend with suppliers
17%
When B2B buyers are considering a purchase, they spend only 17% of that time meeting with potential suppliers. When they compare several suppliers, the time with any one sales rep may be only 5% to 6%.
Most buyers prefer to research on their own first. In large organisations, that research is spread across departments, so a supplier who only talks to one sponsor is easy to leave out.
Pilots keep getting good feedback in Haidian, and the framework agreement that should follow stays in someone's in-tray.
Every proposal grows another appendix, and the reviewing department still asks for clarification after each round.
The bid team works through Sunday on a response that reads like the last one, and the next review meeting still opens with the same questions.
Funds are allocated to a supplier the committee could explain more easily, and your team waits another year for the next window.
Enterprise teams selling in Beijing usually respond to slow approvals with longer proposals, more senior visits and more relationship dinners. What gets less attention is whether the people who never meet you can understand the offer when it reaches their desk, so the deal waits at the step where it has to be explained. It's like adding more stamps to an application that is missing one required form.
Most buyers prefer to research on their own first. In a large Beijing organisation, much of that research happens in departments your sponsor does not control.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers. In a long approval cycle those hours are spread across many people, so each supplier meeting has to leave something the next level can use.
New foreign-invested enterprises established in Beijing in 2025, 19.5% more than in 2024. Many of them are still building their supplier lists, which rewards a seller who can explain the case simply.
New foreign-invested enterprises established in China in 2025, 19.1% more than in 2024. Each new organisation brings its own approval process, and a supplier has to learn where the decision sits.
