FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if a Wulin growth team could run the next category review without you in the room? Imagine a direction a merchant lead can still use after the dashboard has moved on. It's like teaching a shift lead to open the shop, not standing behind the counter every morning. Even if the campaign still circles back to you, those conversations can still be transferred to the team.

Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
He closed over $7 million in deals, so Hangzhou leadership work is coached as a conversation that should move a team, not as a longer reading of the dashboard.
He started coaching basketball at 16, and a platform team is trained in short huddles, not only in a private run-through of GMV.
His graduates have produced 8-figure results using this method, two of their stories come later on the page, and a Wulin leadership session runs on it.
He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. A Qianjiang team is asked whether it can run the next review if the founder is already on a live.
A category or merchant lead leaves able to run the review without the founder in the room, including after a difficult campaign week.
Each rehearsal puts a stall, a missed metric, or a messy handover between functions into the live huddle you already have.
P.I.T.C.H. keeps a Gongshu leadership review on a short sequence, so the huddle develops people and inspects numbers less.
The leadership training in Singapore method, applied for Hangzhou rooms.
The work starts by naming the Hangzhou conversations that still require the founder, and the direction you actually want a category lead to repeat.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits shape those growth reviews, including mixed commercial, operations and live-commerce leads.
Leaders rehearse a live review to a timer, then hand one piece of it to someone else, until the direction can travel without the founder in the room.
If the brief is your own presence in a formal platform room, use executive presence coaching in Hangzhou. If the brief is the sales method the team should run, use sales training in Hangzhou.
“I have been in this business for quite while, but this course has cleared up a lot of doubts and strategies that I should use.”
“I used some of the strategies immediately and after two weeks generated $20,000 worth of sales.”
Shawn Khoo, CEO, 8Yolk Design Studio. Programmes attended: Facebook Ads Mastery.
“especially the templates and trigger lists of what to say when you’re speaking to different types of audiences. It made everything more practical and immediately usable.”
“I became more mindful of who I’m speaking to and how I communicate.”

"I built this because I failed," Jason Lim has said. "I let my family down." He made a vow: "if I could rise again, I'd teach others how to win without losing everything that matters." A financial scam had already taken his family's savings. In 2020, he lost what he himself had built.
Future of Selling exists to keep that promise, and P.I.T.C.H. is the method inside it. He is the founder of DreaMaker Ventures as well. Basketball coaching at 16 came first, and he later closed over $7 million in deals. Renowned mentors guided him: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. Among his clients are founders and leaders from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio.
A Gongshu account goes quiet, and the next platform call waits until you are free to join it.
Qianjiang growth meetings walk through figures, name a miss, and leave leads with no rehearsal for the category review they have to run.
A founder who is clear on a stream leaves a formal growth huddle, and the team reverts to last week's version of the plan.
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 Hangzhou leadership conversation has to leave a category or merchant lead with a direction they can run, not another tour of last week's numbers.
Good people on a growth team start holding every merchant stall for the founder, and the standard in the field becomes whoever can read the dashboard aloud.
You add another platform review to the week and still leave a Wulin huddle feeling you were the only person who could close the issue.
The night after a live is spent finishing a merchant issue you planned to pass on, and Monday's growth huddle still has not practised the transfer.
The Qianjiang team waits for your next gap, and the leadership job has not moved into the review they already have.
In a Hangzhou platform team, leadership is often treated as attending more growth reviews, when the real work is a conversation that installs a direction other people can run. Founders keep adding dashboard time and still watch every merchant stall return to them, because the team never practised the review itself. It's like standing behind the counter every morning and then wondering why the shift cannot open the shop.
Most buyers prefer to research on their own first. A Hangzhou leadership conversation has to leave a merchant or category lead with a bearing for the next review.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers. A huddle that only recites GMV spends that share poorly, and the next sitting still needs the same founder.
Value added of digital-economy core industries in Hangzhou in 2025, 9.3% higher than in 2024 and 29.5% of the city's GDP. A platform or SaaS team in that economy still needs a review it can run, not only a founder who can attend.
Foreign capital actually used in Hangzhou in 2025. The same communiqué records 1,609 newly introduced foreign-investment projects in the year. Those Hangzhou team reviews still need to leave a lead with a direction they can run, including where new foreign-investment projects are being introduced.
