FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the person who was not in the room could still retell your offer from the deck alone? Imagine a slide one that carries the decision, and an appendix that holds the detail without stealing the meeting. Even if the file will be forwarded overnight, you can still be understood. It's like swapping a warehouse inventory list for a shop window.

Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
He closed over $7 million in deals, so the deck is built to be retold, not just to look finished.
He started coaching basketball at 16, and decks get the same treatment: cut, rehearse, cut again.
8-figure results have come from graduates applying the method; two of their stories are further down, and a Shanghai deck is ordered with it.
He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. The questions asked about the file are about the decision, not the design.
P.I.T.C.H. gives the deck a single spine, so a reader who was not in the room can still follow the ask.
Progress is visible: one drill, one use on the file, then the next drill.
You work on the deck for the meeting you have next, so the new version is the one that gets sent.
The pitch deck coaching in Singapore method, applied for Shanghai rooms.
Readers decide before they meet you. You learn what they need on slide one, and build the rest to support it.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits turned into a deck that can be presented and forwarded.
You rehearse the talk track against the slides until the two stop fighting each other.
Need help delivering the deck, not just building it? See presentation coaching or investor pitch coaching.
“We are very impressed with your presentation and your in depth knowledge on how we can position ourselves to have customers focused marketing.â€
Kris Ang, Master Franchisee, Signarama Singapore.
“I thought all I had to do was scale my business by doing more of the same thing I was already doing. It turns out—I was completely wrong.â€
“The beauty of this strategy is that it will give me triple the profits as compared to the strategy I had in mind to get me to $500,000!â€

Jason Lim's first sales job, at 21, was in luxury real estate. He later sold advertising contracts, copywriting, affiliate marketing, stocks and forex. He closed over $7 million in deals. The young man who had once feared the stage learned to stand on it.
Future of Selling, which he founded under DreaMaker Ventures, is where he teaches P.I.T.C.H. He first coached basketball at 16. At 26, he started a Facebook advertising agency. He kept learning from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. His clients include Skystone Asset Management and Signarama Singapore. Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio have trained with him too.
The reader has to hunt for the offer, and many never reach it.
The board, the user and the procurement lead all see a document written for none of them.
The deck is a prompt-sheet, and it collapses when you are not there to narrate.
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 through digital channels, so a pitch deck that is unclear on the page loses the meeting before it starts.
Each review adds slides, and the ask gets harder to find.
You keep polishing design and still hear, 'can you send a shorter version?'
Late nights go to the file, and the meeting still starts with an apology for the length.
A committee reads it overnight, and only a clear opening slide lasts through that reading.
Most decks are built as a spoken script, then emailed as if they were a document. In Shanghai rooms, the file often travels further than the speaker. When slide one does not carry the decision, the reader invents their own. It's like posting a parcel with no address and hoping it finds the right desk.
Much of the decision now happens while you are not in the room. The deck has to carry the point alone.
Buyers still want a view on whether an offer fits. Slide one should make that easy, even on a phone.
