FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if every team left your kickoff with the same plan for the next campaign peak? Imagine sales, growth and merchant success presenting one offer and one merchant story, then practising it together. It's like shipping one well-tested feature instead of announcing ten half-built ones. Even if kickoffs here usually focus on numbers, this one can change how the team sells.

Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
He closed over $7 million in deals, so a Hangzhou kickoff is coached to change merchant conversations before the campaign peak, not just to set targets.
He started coaching basketball at 16, and a season opens with one drilled game plan; kickoffs here are built the same way.
His graduates have produced 8-figure results with the method, two of their stories follow below, and a campaign kickoff is designed with it.
He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. At a Binjiang kickoff the rule is one change practised by everyone.
The kickoff centres on one change for the campaign season, so the team has something to practise.
Growth, sales and merchant success present one story, so merchants hear one offer.
P.I.T.C.H. turns the kickoff keynote into a working session, not only a talk.
The sales kickoff presentation coaching in Singapore method, applied for Hangzhou rooms.
We agree the one change the team needs before the next campaign peak and build the kickoff around it.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits shape each leader's talk so growth, sales and merchant success point to the same change.
Leaders rehearse with us, and the kickoff includes a practice block where reps run the new merchant conversation.
If the team needs a shared method beyond the event, see sales training in Hangzhou. If the kickoff slides need a redesign, see presentation design in Hangzhou.
“Honestly, just five minutes with him is worth not hundreds, not thousands—but thousands upon thousands.”
Vũ Ngọc Hoa, CEO, Enlightenment Education.
“I raised my rates by 30%”
“I didn’t even have to negotiate. The parent didn’t try to bargain or question the fee.”

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.
Leaders in Binjiang present targets and features, and nobody practises the merchant conversation.
Growth wants sign-ups, sales wants contracts, merchant success wants retention, and the kickoff never connects them.
The energy of the event fades, and the team meets the campaign season with old habits.
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. A Hangzhou kickoff that only sets GMV goals leaves the team pitching informed merchants with an old story.
The kickoff sets ambitious campaign targets, and the team goes into merchant calls with the same pitch as last season.
Each department presents its own priorities, and merchants hear three versions of the offer.
The night before goes on slides, and the morning still sounds like a list of numbers.
The biggest selling weeks of the year are run with last season's habits, and the targets set at the kickoff slip.
Hangzhou platform and SaaS kickoffs are often organised as growth reviews: last season's GMV, this season's targets, new features. Teams need one change they can practise before the campaign peak, and a growth review leaves them nothing to rehearse. It's like setting a sales target for a festival without updating the storefront.
Most buyers prefer to research on their own first. A Hangzhou kickoff has to give reps a better merchant conversation, not just a higher target.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers. A busy campaign season leaves even less room, so the team needs one practised approach.
Value added of digital-economy core industries in Hangzhou in 2025, 9.3% higher than in 2024 and 29.5% of the city's GDP. Merchants hear from many platforms, and a team with one clear story stands out.
Foreign capital actually used in Hangzhou in 2025. The same communiqué records 1,609 newly introduced foreign-investment projects in the year. New entrants need a clear offer, and a kickoff that aligns the team helps deliver it.
