FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if procurement asked for a discount and you could smile, hold your number and still win the deal? Imagine the payment-terms argument ending in one meeting instead of six weeks of email. Even if the buyer is a large group with a tough procurement team, you can still negotiate as an equal. It's like haggling at Petaling Street where the stall owner, for once, is you.

P.I.T.C.H. builds value before price comes up, so the negotiation starts from your number, not theirs.

When Covid arrived in 2020, Jason Lim lost everything he had built. He spent nights on any friend's couch that would take him, and still he kept teaching. He turned the speaking and closing skills that had saved him into Future of Selling.
Starting in sales at 21, he had already closed over $7 million in deals. At 16, he began coaching on a basketball court. Today he is the founder and mentor behind DreaMaker Ventures.

He wants them to succeed without giving up the people who matter.
The buyer did not even ask that hard.
Every round adds a new demand and a new delay.
So you accept terms you would never offer on purpose.
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%.
Gartner found buyers spend only 17% of their buying time meeting suppliers, so a price talk you have not prepared for is hard to recover in that time.
Each discount becomes the starting point for the next renewal.
Your team concedes to close the month, and profit quietly shrinks.
You check the margins at midnight and wonder why growth feels so tiring.
You win the big account, and the margin you gave away makes it the year's least profitable deal.
It is easy to walk into a negotiation without having agreed, even with yourself, what you will trade and what you will not. Without that plan, every request feels urgent and every concession looks small. It's like going to a car showroom with no budget in mind, and leaving with the extended warranty, the tinting and the floor mats.
Supplier meetings take only 17% of a B2B buyer's purchase time, all suppliers combined, so preparation decides how well you use it.
Approved investment in Malaysia hit a record RM426.7 billion in 2025. You plan what to trade before the meeting, so a discount stops being the default.
Third among the states, Kuala Lumpur secured RM63.3 billion of approved investment in 2025. You practise holding your number on the contracts you are negotiating now.
Buyers who avoid reps still value a seller's judgement on fit. Advising, not discounting, is what earns room on price.

Buyers who'd rather skip the rep
61%
Of B2B buyers prefer an overall rep-free buying experience, yet for tasks such as judging whether a product or service fits their company's needs, buyers prefer to seek seller input.
