FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the director left your next update saying proceed, instead of we'll discuss internally? Imagine holding a senior room through the first hard question, and being the person they quote after you leave. Even if seniority in the room makes you rush or soften the ask, you can still sound like the leader they should trust. It's like swapping a shaky karaoke microphone for a lectern that doesn't wobble.

20+ years of coaching, starting with basketball at 16.
Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
A $7M+ closed-deal record sits behind presence work in Jakarta rooms that actually decide.
At 16 he ran short drills; a Jakarta pause and a finished request are practised in the same short loop.
The method has produced 8-figure results for its graduates. Two of their stories are on this page.
Two of them are Bob Proctor and Joel Bauer. His story below names the rest.
You work on a real upcoming board or committee call, so the change is visible there, not in a lecture on gravitas.
Presence is rehearsed in the order a Jakarta room will feel it: pace, pause, then the request, on a meeting you already have.
The method puts the point first, which helps when a director has already started to move on.
This draws on Executive Presence Coaching Singapore for a Jakarta board appearance.
The next Jakarta appearance is the practice ground: pace, a held pause, then the request.
A rehearsal uses the real agenda, including the moment a senior person cuts across you.
You leave with a prompt you can use in that room, not a script you will never finish.
If the same room is an investor meeting, go deeper with investor pitch coaching. Around the Jakarta room, the pause that keeps failing, and the date you have to appear. Booking starts from the Jakarta room, the failing pause, and the appearance date.
“The research file you’ve created is like a cheat sheet for everything about branding and positioning.”
Wee Jun Wei, Managing Director, Lara-J.
“I didn’t even have to negotiate. The parent didn’t try to bargain or question the fee.”
Javier Wong, CEO, Lifetutors Singapore.

"If it's not good enough to teach my own brother, then it's not good enough to sell." That is the standard Jason Lim sets for Future of Selling, the flagship of DreaMaker Ventures. He founded both to offer less pain, fewer regrets, and more time for the people his graduates love.
While he was young, a financial scam took the family's savings. He started coaching basketball at 16 and entered sales at 21, later closing over $7 million in deals. Through DreaMaker Ventures and Leaders of Tomorrow, he teaches founders to make their value clear. Through it all he learned from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. Among those who trained with him are leaders from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio.
The ask gets smaller than the work deserves.
You leave Kuningan still unsure whether anything was agreed.
The room hears caution, and no request.
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, so a Jakarta appearance is judged on a finished request in the room, not on polish alone, around your Jakarta board appearance.
Your work is sound. The first minutes are not.
The diary fills; the decisions still wait.
The evening is spent on a conversation that already ended.
The people who already seemed sure in the room are the ones invited to speak.
Most people try to show respect by adding words. In a senior Jakarta room, that often reads as uncertainty. The room needs a slower point and a clearer request. It's like bowing so often that you never actually hand over the document.
A Jakarta appearance is trained through P.I.T.C.H.; the Future of Selling page has the method in full.
