FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the approver understood your deck from the five slides they actually opened? Imagine a pitch deck that travels through a conglomerate without you there to explain it, and a spoken version that matches the file. Even if the current deck is long and every department added a section, you can still cut it to a story someone will forward. It's like replacing a novel with a film trailer that still makes people buy a ticket.

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.
The $7M+ he closed himself is why a deck is judged on a decision, not decoration. A deck is judged on whether a busy reader can decide, not on how much ground it covers.
He was teaching at 16; a deck is cut and rehearsed until a busy reader can decide. Jason's method was built from live closes, so every slide has to earn a next step, not a compliment on the design.
The method has produced 8-figure results for its graduates. Two of their stories are on this page.
Names include Bob Proctor and Joel Bauer; the full list is in his story below.
P.I.T.C.H. puts the point first and the proof second, so a busy approver gets the story even if they skip half the file.
A deck is cut and rehearsed in the order a busy Jakarta reader decides, using the file you already send.
You work on the deck for the meeting already in the diary, so the new version is the one that gets sent.
This applies Pitch Deck Coaching Singapore to a Jakarta decision deck.
A file is judged in a set order, whether you are there or not. You learn that order and build the slides around it.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits applied to slide headlines, sequence and the spoken words that go with them.
Slides and spoken lines are practised together, so the ask stays visible even when someone only reads the file.
If the same file is for a raise, use our investor pitch coaching as well. Around the Jakarta deck a busy reader already has, and the date they are meant to decide. The Jakarta file a busy reader already has, and the date they must decide, guide the cuts.
“my company increased sales by $253,000 in just 6 months.”
Styles Chong, Managing Director, Okeanos Trading.
“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.

At 29, Jason Lim was appointed by Summit Capital and began an Asia speaking tour: Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Bangkok, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. In 2018, the Freedom Asia tour put him on stage, teaching founders how to close. He had once dreaded rooms like those.
After entering sales at 21, he went on to close over $7 million in deals. He is the founder of Future of Selling, under DreaMaker Ventures, and the creator of P.I.T.C.H. At 16, he had already started coaching, with basketball. He learned his craft from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. His clients include Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio.
The point the approver needs is buried, and many readers never reach it.
The business pitch deck is now a collection of departmental requests, not a story.
You say one thing in the room, and the startup pitch deck they forward says something else.
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, so a Jakarta file is judged on whether a busy reader can decide, on your Jakarta decision deck.
Stakeholders promise to review it, and the review never comes back as a decision.
Fonts and icons change; the ask stays vague.
You sit up late moving boxes on slides, and the meeting is still the next morning.
A director opens it in a car between meetings, and whatever they understand in those minutes is the whole deal.
Most decks are built to be complete, not to be forwarded. Completeness feels professional, so the story and the ask get pushed back, and a busy reader never sees them. It's like wrapping a gift in so many layers that nobody reaches the present.
