FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the partner on the video call asked for the data room before you reached the appendix? Imagine a fund meeting, run from your desk here, that still feels as tight as a room in another city. Even if the partner is rushed and the file has already been forwarded, you still leave a clear next step. It's like packing for a long flight with a 7kg cabin bag: only what earns its weight gets on.

Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
20+ years of coaching, starting with basketball at 16.
Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
The $7M+ he closed himself is why a raise must survive a forwarded deck. A raise is built to survive a partner who only sees the deck, not only the version you deliver in the room.
A basketball court was the first classroom; a forwarded deck now gets the same rehearsal. Jason designed P.I.T.C.H. from live selling, so a Bali fundraising call still has to end with a dated next step.
Graduates have taken the method to 8-figure results. Two of them tell their stories further down.
Among them: Marshall Thurber and Joel Bauer. You will find the full list in his story below.
You bring the live raise, so the new version is ready for the next partner call, not for a theoretical deck.
A raise is rehearsed so the forwarded file and the spoken call tell the same story, starting with the ask a partner can find unattended.
The method leads with the decision the partner has to make, which is what a forwarded file also has to do.
This uses Investor Pitch Coaching on a partner call with a forwarded deck.
Partners decide on risk and upside in a set order. You learn it and pitch in that order, even on a short call.
The raise is structured for a call that may be joined late, with a deck that can stand if you never finish the walkthrough.
Tough questions on traction, use of funds and why now are rehearsed until the answers stay short.
If the spoken pitch and the file have drifted apart, start with pitch deck coaching in Singapore. The work also covers pitch presentation. The work also covers business pitch presentation. Around the forwarded deck, the partner on the call, and the date of that conversation. The forwarded deck, the partner on the call, and that conversation date set the work.
“Jason pointed out an event that I can partner with. But, crafting a collaboration email is not exactly my strength.”
“Plus, within 10 minutes I received a favourable reply from the recipient!”
Wee Jun Wei, Managing Director, Lara-J. Programmes attended: Diamond Consult, Facebook Ads Mastery.
“Well, to my surprised that when he stood in front of the audience, not only he is able to hold himself well as a speaker, presenter but also the material that he started sharing with us was mind blowing.”
Tony Teng, Executive Director, Business Network International (BNI) Singapore.

At 29, Jason Lim was appointed by Summit Capital and began an Asia speaking tour: Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Bangkok, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. In 2018, the Freedom Asia tour put him on stage, teaching founders how to close. He had once dreaded rooms like those.
After entering sales at 21, he went on to close over $7 million in deals. He is the founder of Future of Selling, under DreaMaker Ventures, and the creator of P.I.T.C.H. At 16, he had already started coaching, with basketball. He learned his craft from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. His clients include Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio.
You say one thing on the call; the deck they forwarded says another.
The partner still has not heard why this round, this amount, this team.
There is no date, no intro, and no request for the data room.
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 forwarded deck has to carry the raise if the call is skipped, on your partner call with a forwarded deck.
Each soft close costs a week you do not have.
The next partner starts skimming even earlier.
The pitch becomes a second job.
The partners who got a tight file and a tight call are already in diligence.
Most founders try to be complete. Partners need a short case they can retell to the rest of the partnership, in the same order as the file. It's like handing someone a suitcase and a packing list that do not name the same things.
A forwarded deck is aligned with P.I.T.C.H., which the Future of Selling page describes.
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%.
