FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the buyer on the video call accepted the trade, instead of waiting for you to cut the price because you are 'not in the room'? Imagine holding a margin from a desk here, without sounding defensive or eager. Even if they expect a concession from anyone who sells at a distance, you still have a walk-away and a counter. It's like cooking with a set pantry: you trade what you have, you do not throw in the whole cupboard.

A $7M+ record from talks he held himself, including remote ones, is why a Bali pause is judged on a trade, not a silent cut.
A basketball court taught the drill; a silence on a poor line is practised until it is held, not filled with a discount.

You bring a live negotiation, so the next commercial call already uses the new trades.

This uses Negotiation Training Singapore on a remote commercial pause.
A remote commercial talk is rehearsed around the silence, not around a script that needs a boardroom.

“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.

Stanley Tan, Fund Manager, Skystone Asset Management.

A financial scam took the family's savings, so Jason Lim's mother worked in coffee shops by day and factories by night. There was no money for tuition, and no time for extra classes. At 14, he worked at McDonald's to help his family. At 16, he became a basketball coach and began teaching.
He took his first sales job at 21 and later closed over $7 million in deals. He founded DreaMaker Ventures and its flagship, Future of Selling. In 2020, he lost what he had built. He kept teaching the skill that had brought him back. He also learned from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. Teams from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio have studied with him.

Each deal trains the next one.
The work is fine until the price appears.
Evenings go to the concession you did not need to make.
The other side already knows you move when the room goes quiet.
Most sellers try to keep the relationship warm by giving something away. A remote buyer often reads that as room to push again. It's like topping up someone's glass every time they set it down, and then wondering why the bottle is empty.
