FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if your team arrived at a procurement round with a plan for every request, instead of hoping the sponsor's support would protect the price? Imagine knowing which terms you can move, what each concession must earn, and how to keep the value agreed with the business side. It's like arriving at a formal meeting with an agreed brief and fallback positions. Even if procurement in large organisations always asks for more, your terms can still hold.

He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. In a Chaoyang procurement round the rule is to trade, never simply to give.
The value agreed with the business sponsor is carried into the procurement round, so price is not discussed in isolation.
Contract terms such as payment schedules and penalties are planned up front, not discovered at the end.
P.I.T.C.H. helps the team ask for something in return at every level of approval.
The negotiation training in Singapore method, applied for Beijing rooms.
We map an upcoming negotiation: who negotiates at each level, what procurement is likely to ask, and which terms matter most to you.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits plan the sequence: linking value agreed with the sponsor to the procurement round, preparing trades and setting the walk-away point.
The team rehearses procurement and committee scenarios with us until the plan holds at every level.
If deals reach procurement without the value being clear, start with presentation coaching in Beijing. For the enterprise team's overall method, see sales training in Beijing.
“that's the pitch master”
“But, my instinct was, I’ve done this for so many years. I’ve pitched in front of funds. I’ve helped startups pitch to funds. My ego lah, right? Couldn’t see the value. So I said to myself, let’s humble ourselves. Let’s learn something.”
“Then, when it came to my turn—in that one minute pitch in the chambers—it went out.”
Stanley Tan, Fund Manager, Skystone Asset Management. Programmes attended: Speed of Yes, 1Pitch™ Persuasion System, Diamond Consult.
“Before I met Jason, I was slogging day in and day out, working 15+ hours, “chasing” money, afraid to sleep.”
“my company increased sales by $253,000 in just 6 months.”
Styles Chong, Managing Director, Okeanos Trading. Programmes attended: Facebook Ads Mastery, Perfect Client System, Trustable Brand.

"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.
The business side in Chaoyang accepts the proposal, and the procurement round cuts the price without changing the scope.
Contract clauses on delivery, penalties and payment schedules appear at the end, and the team accepts them to avoid delay.
Each approval step requests a small concession, and nobody tracks what has already been given.
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 team that meets that benchmark with a discount alone will be asked for another at the next level.
The sponsor agrees the value, then procurement asks for a reduction, and the team gives it to keep the deal moving.
Each approval level reopens a term, and the contract that gets signed is worse than the one first agreed.
Senior people spend evenings on calls about payment schedules and penalties because the team had no plan for them.
A multi-year contract signed under pressure carries the same concessions into every renewal and every new project.
Enterprise negotiations in Beijing often split into two conversations: value with the business sponsor and price with procurement. Teams that win the first and arrive unprepared for the second concede terms one at a time, because procurement's job is to ask and nobody planned the trades. It's like passing the technical review and then failing the paperwork.
Most buyers prefer to research on their own first. A Beijing team has to answer that benchmark with agreed value, not only a lower price.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers. Procurement rounds are a small slice of that, so every exchange should be planned.
