FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if every type of investor in the room could see the case for your company from their own angle? Imagine a venture partner hearing the return, a corporate investor hearing the strategic fit, and both hearing the same ask. It's like a well-drafted proposal with a clear summary for each reader. Even if your technology is hard to explain, the investment case can still be simple.

He closed over $7 million in deals, so a Beijing raise is coached to get through the investment committee, not just the first meeting.
He started coaching basketball at 16, and founders are rehearsed the way players are, until the play holds under pressure.
Graduates applying the method have produced 8-figure results, two of them are quoted further down, and a Beijing investment case is assembled the same way.
He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. With a Chaoyang founder the work is stating the ask plainly in a formal room.

Variations for venture, corporate and policy-linked investors share one core story, so consistency is kept.
P.I.T.C.H. helps your champion retell the case at the committee you will not attend.
The investor pitch coaching method, applied for Beijing rooms.
We hear your pitch as each investor type would, and note where a venture partner, a corporate investor or a committee member loses the thread.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits rebuild the story so the investment case leads and the technology proves it, with short variations for each investor type.
You rehearse the pitch and the committee-style questions with us until a partner could retell your case without you.

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.
Partners in Haidian follow the architecture and still cannot state the market or the ask.
A corporate venture team and a financial fund hear identical slides, and each finds its own question unanswered.
The partner you met is supportive, and the committee still asks for basics the meeting never covered.
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. A deep-tech pitch that repeats the technical paper gives a partner nothing to take to the committee.
Meetings go deep on the technology, and the partner leaves without being able to explain the business.
Corporate investors ask about strategic fit, venture funds ask about returns, and one deck answers neither well.
Each investor type gets a new version, and keeping them consistent eats the time you should spend on customers.
The partner who liked the meeting cannot make the case internally, and the round stalls at the step you never see.
Beijing enterprise and deep-tech founders often pitch as researchers: problem, method, results, and the business model last. Investors, especially those reporting to a committee or a corporate parent, need the case framed for their mandate, and a technical narrative leaves them to translate it alone. It's like submitting a research paper when the reader asked for a funding proposal.
Most buyers prefer to research on their own first. A Beijing founder must add the investment case on top of what investors already know about the field.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers. Those are buyers, not investors, yet a Beijing partner meeting is short as well, so the ask must come before the technical detail.
New foreign-invested enterprises established in Beijing in 2025, 19.5% more than in 2024. Some of those organisations invest or partner, and they need a case framed for their mandate.
New foreign-invested enterprises established in China in 2025, 19.1% more than in 2024. Capital is spread across many new companies, which rewards a pitch that is easy to compare.

Buyers who'd rather skip the rep
