FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the deal you need this quarter closed instead of drifting after a warm meeting? Imagine knowing what to say when the buyer goes quiet, and finally hearing them ask when you can start. Even if the relationship is friendly and the approval path is long, you can still get a dated next step. It's like having a copilot who taps the brakes before you overshoot the exit on Sudirman.

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+ closed himself sits behind this: a Jakarta sales conversation is judged on a dated next step, not on a warmer tone.
He first taught at 16; a Jakarta close is drilled until it can be said when a senior stakeholder joins late.
Those 8-figure results were produced by graduates applying the method. Two of their stories are below.
They include Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. The full list is in his story below.
You bring the three deals that matter this quarter, so the first change is tested in the next Jakarta meeting.
A Jakarta sales call is practised on a live account, one close at a time, before the next meeting on the calendar.
The method puts value in order before price, which is what a buyer needs when a warm relationship has not produced a date.
This follows Sales Coaching Singapore on a Jakarta live sales call.
The live Jakarta account is mapped: who was in the room, who was not, and what has to happen next.
A short review is followed by a rehearsal of the close, then a check after the real meeting.
The work stays on that account until a date or a named objection exists, including the hidden stakeholder.
Teams that need a shared method, not only 1:1 work, can use sales training in Singapore. Around the Jakarta live account, the close that slips, and the next meeting on the calendar. The live Jakarta account, the slipping close, and the next meeting on the calendar guide the coaching. The work is also run as a sales coaching program on the live account you already have.
“Life was just moving along, and I wanted to see what I could get out of it.”
“I became more mindful of who I’m speaking to and how I communicate.”

“In just one hour, Jason worked the vital numbers in my business and showed me how I can generate an extra $160,000 by implementing an elegant and easy strategy.”

Jason Lim's first student was Jane, from Malaysia, who could not pay her rent and was ready to go home. After doing what he taught her, she became one of her company's top 10 sales producers for three months running. She also sent gifts home for Chinese New Year, for the first time. He says that moment lit a fire that went beyond money.
He built Future of Selling and created P.I.T.C.H. so more founders could get that result. At 16, he began teaching on a basketball court. After he learned to sell, he closed over $7 million in deals. He trained under renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. People from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio have trained with him.
There was no dated next step, so the buyer's diary filled with other things.
The relationship stays pleasant, and the margin does not.
Growth stops at the hours in your own calendar.
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 sales conversation is judged on a dated step, on your Jakarta live sales call.
Hope is relabelled as pipeline.
Activity covers the missing close.
You are at the table, but your head is still in the deal.
A list of pleasant conversations is not the same as a list of decisions.
Most sellers try to protect the relationship by delaying the close or moving on price. In a Jakarta buying group, that often teaches the other side to wait. The habit is a weak ask, not a lack of effort. It's like topping up the tea every time the cup is half empty, and never asking whether anyone actually wants another pot.
A live Jakarta account is coached with P.I.T.C.H.; the Future of Selling page has the method.
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%.
