FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the board left your next update saying "good, let's do it" instead of "let's revisit next quarter"? Imagine holding the room through the first hard question, and finally being the leader people quote after the meeting. Even if pressure makes you rush or ramble, you can learn to sound decisive. It's like upgrading from a shaky phone video to a steady broadcast: same message, far more authority.

20+ years of coaching, starting with basketball at 16.
Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
The $7M+ was closed in rooms where every word counted, which is the room you are preparing for now.
He began coaching on a basketball court at 16, where composure under pressure decides the game. Presence is coached the same way: by rehearsal.
Graduates have taken the method to 8-figure results. Two of them tell their stories further down.
They include Marshall Thurber and Joel Bauer. The full list is in his story below.
P.I.T.C.H. gives every update one clear point and one clear ask, so the board hears a leader, not a report.
The system breaks selling into steps you can follow, so nothing depends on talent or mood on the day.
You start with the meeting already in your diary, so the change shows up where it matters first.
Boards and investors decide in a predictable order. You learn it, so your update answers their questions before they ask them.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits: how to open with authority, stay on point and end with a decision.
You rehearse the hardest questions out loud until your answers come out short, calm and certain.
“Honestly, just five minutes with him is worth not hundreds, not thousands—but thousands upon thousands.”
Vũ Ngọc Hoa, CEO, Enlightenment Education.
“Life was just moving along, and I wanted to see what I could get out of it.”
“I became more mindful of who I’m speaking to and how I communicate.”
Tan Shi Liang, Owner, Legendary Fisherman. Programmes attended: Speed of Yes, 1Pitch™ Persuasion System.

"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.
Ninety seconds of context and apology before the point, while the board starts reading the appendix.
A sharp question from the chair gets a long reply, and the room now remembers the defence.
The meeting closes on thanks, and the follow-up email does the work the meeting should have done.
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 B2B buyers prefer to research on their own through digital channels, so the conversations you do get have to count.
Decisions you need get pushed to the next meeting, and senior people quietly decide you are not ready for more.
You prepare for days, then a single sharp question knocks the update off course again.
The tension follows you home. You replay the meeting at dinner, and sleep comes late before every board date.
A funding vote, a restructuring or a board review can turn on how you sound in twenty minutes, whether you are ready or not.
Most leaders over-prepare the slides and under-prepare the questions. Authority is judged in the answers, so polishing the deck leaves the weak spot exactly where it was. It's like reinforcing the front door of a house while the back window stays open.
Coaching uses Jason's five-move P.I.T.C.H. method, and the Future of Selling page walks through all five.
Buyers spend only a small share of their buying time with suppliers. Presence is how the leader in the room makes that time carry the decision.
Buyers still turn to people when they judge whether something fits their company. Presence is what makes them listen to you.
Investment commitments EDB secured in 2025 are expected to create 15,700 jobs over the next five years. Leaders who meet those companies need to sound settled and specific from the first minute.
Singapore led Asia Pacific for international association meetings again in 2025. On one of those stages, you should look and sound like the person in charge.

Buyers who'd rather skip the rep
61%
