FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if your next Jakarta keynote filled your calendar instead of just the applause meter? Imagine a signature talk that ends with a queue of people who want a next step, and finally a keynote you can give again. Even if you are more comfortable in a meeting than on a stage, you can still own the room. It's like turning a conference firework into a lighthouse people can actually walk towards.

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.
That $7M+ was closed in rooms, which is why a Jakarta keynote still has to leave a request, not only a well-received hour.
He first taught at 16; a Jakarta close is practised until a colleague can repeat it after the event.
The method has produced 8-figure results for its graduates. Two of their stories are on this page.
Marshall Thurber and Chet Holmes are two of them. The full list follows in his story below.
You bring the talk you are actually giving, so the next stage already carries the new request.
A keynote is practised in the order the audience will remember it: one story, one request, on the date already in the calendar.
The method places the ask where a busy room can still hear it, even if the programme is running late.
This applies Keynote Speaker Coaching Singapore to a Jakarta conference keynote.
The event date already in the calendar is the practice ground: one story, one request.
A mixed room of locals and visiting buyers is used as the test for where the request sits.
A colleague is asked to say the request back after one run; if they cannot, the close is rewritten.
Speakers who also want stronger stories can pair this with storytelling coaching in Singapore. Around the Jakarta keynote, the request you want remembered, and the event date. A Jakarta keynote is built so a guest can repeat the request on the way out of the hall, not only enjoy the hour. The close is placed where a mixed room of locals and visitors can hear it, and it is rehearsed until a colleague can say it back after one run. The Jakarta keynote, the request, and the event date set the rehearsal. In a Jakarta hall the close is placed where a mixed room of locals and visiting buyers can hear it, and it is rehearsed until a colleague can repeat the request after one run, not only enjoy the hour. That is how the keynote is judged, whether it is given in a hotel ballroom or a client auditorium.
“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.
“We are very impressed with your presentation and your in depth knowledge on how we can position ourselves to have customers focused marketing.”
Kris Ang, Master Franchisee, Signarama Singapore.

Jason Lim was once an extreme introvert who dreaded the stage. A financial scam wiped out his family's savings. In 2020, he also lost everything he had built. He rose again by learning to say what his work was worth, so the other person could truly hear it. He shaped that skill into Future of Selling, where he now teaches P.I.T.C.H.
His first teaching role was as a basketball coach, at 16. Later he closed over $7 million in deals. He studied under renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. Today he helps founders win without losing what truly matters. Leaders from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio are among those who have trained with him.
People wanted a photograph, not a way to continue the work.
The request lived in the part of the talk that often gets squeezed.
You have two versions, and neither has a stable close.
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%.
17% of buying time goes to suppliers, so a Jakarta keynote is judged on a request guests can repeat, on your Jakarta conference keynote.
The invitation stays safe, and small.
The room enjoys you, and cannot repeat the request.
The talk never gets enough rehearsal to feel finished.
Organisers already know who can hold a mixed Jakarta room and still land a request.
Most speakers try to add more local colour to win the room. A tired conference crowd needs one thread and a request said early enough to survive a late programme. It's like giving a long toast and never mentioning the reason you stood up.
A Jakarta keynote uses P.I.T.C.H. to place the request; the Future of Selling page has the sequence.
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%.
