FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the regional director in Jing'an stopped you on slide three to ask how soon you could start? Imagine a presentation that opens with the decision, carries two clear reasons, and ends on a request the room can say yes to. Even if half the audience joins from another country and the slides were approved by legal, the message can still be yours. It's like a lift that stops only at the floor you pressed.

Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
He closed over $7 million in deals, so the presentation is built to win a decision, not just to fill the hour.
He started coaching basketball at 16, and presentations are drilled the same way: run it, take the note, run it again.
His graduates have produced 8-figure results using the method; two of their stories appear further down, and a Shanghai presentation is built on it.
He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. A live brief is taken apart until the point comes first.
P.I.T.C.H. puts the request first, so a regional headquarters hears what you need before the detail.
The path is one move at a time: try it before the next room, then add the next move.
Coaching happens on your real presentation, so the next headquarters review tests the change directly.
The presentation coaching in Singapore method, applied for Shanghai rooms.
We review a recording or a live run of your presentation and mark where the request gets buried.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits reorder it: the request, two reasons, the proof, the ask again.
You rehearse with interruptions from a mixed-language audience until the order holds.

“Although it was only for a short 2 hours, I've gained a lot of insights on how I should position my business for greater success.”
Ethan Lin, Co-Founder, Mindreader AI.
“I didn’t even have to negotiate. The parent didn’t try to bargain or question the fee.”
Javier Wong, CEO, Lifetutors Singapore.

Jason Lim is the founder of DreaMaker Ventures and of Future of Selling, its flagship program. The work is for founders who need to pitch, present, negotiate and close. At 16, he started teaching, as a basketball coach. He started in sales at 21. He closed over $7 million in deals.
Since 2016, founders across Asia have learned from him. After he lost everything in 2020, he used the same skills he now coaches to rebuild his own life. In 2017, he served as President of Young Leaders Achievers Academy. He went on to learn from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. Founders and leaders from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio have trained with him.
By the time you ask, the regional director is already checking the next meeting invite.
Every line is safe, and nothing in the presentation sounds like you.
Colleagues dialling in from Singapore or Frankfurt turn off their cameras halfway through.
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, so a presentation that wanders wastes the little time left.
The headquarters asks for another round, and the timeline you promised slips.
Each review adds an appendix, and the main message gets harder to find.
Nights before a review go on reformatting slides instead of rehearsing the opening.
Someone else summarises your presentation for the headquarters, and the summary is weaker than the original.
Shanghai presentations to regional headquarters are often built from approved slides, in the order the slides were written. A room that has read the pre-read needs the request and the reasoning, in that order. It's like a restaurant handing every guest the full recipe instead of the dish.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers. A Jing'an headquarters review is part of that slot, so the request has to come early.
Buyers still want a seller's view on whether an offer fits. Put that view in the first minutes and the regional team can pass it on.
New foreign-invested enterprises established in China in 2025, 19.1% more than in 2024. Their leaders often hear many suppliers in their first year, so a clear order stands out.
New foreign-invested enterprises established in Shanghai in 2025, 6.8% more than in 2024. A new office still has to defend each supplier choice to its own headquarters.
