FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if your Hong Kong team left the kickoff knowing the one thing to do on Monday? Imagine a plan people still mention in the third month, not twelve priorities that fade by lunch. Even if last year's offsite was forgotten on the way home, this one can hold. It's like a tight flight plan instead of a tour brochure: one route, one arrival, no detours.

Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
20+ years of coaching, starting with basketball at 16.
The $7M+ came from selling, so a kickoff is built as a plan the team can run, not as a highlight reel.
Coaching since 16, with basketball first, means the room practises one play, not a year of slogans.
Graduates have taken the method to 8-figure results. Two of them tell their stories further down.
They include Tony Robbins and Bob Proctor. The full list is in his story below.
P.I.T.C.H. turns the year into a short story with a clear ask of the team, so a Hong Kong room leaves with one plan, not twelve.
We agree the one Monday action first, then the talk that supports it, so the kickoff does not turn into a tour of the whole year.
You work on this year's kickoff, so the change is heard in that room, not in a later workshop.
Adapted from sales kickoff presentation coaching in Singapore for the kickoff you are running for a Hong Kong team.
You pick the few priorities a Hong Kong team can actually run, and you drop the rest of the list.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits become the thread of the kickoff talk and of the cascade after it.
You rehearse the delivery and the manager follow-on so the plan survives the next team meeting.
“Before I met Jason, I was slogging day in and day out, working 15+ hours, “chasing” money, afraid to sleep.”
“Jason showed me that my business can be the tool for changing lives.”
Styles Chong, Managing Director, Okeanos Trading. Programmes attended: Facebook Ads Mastery, Perfect Client System, Trustable Brand.
“I had over 50+ rows of research data (backed up by real potential-customers-demand data) that I can leverage on to market my brand.”
“The research file you’ve created is like a cheat sheet for everything about branding and positioning.”
Wee Jun Wei, Managing Director, Lara-J. Programmes attended: Diamond Consult, Facebook Ads Mastery.

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.
Monday looks like last year because nothing was cut.
No one objects, and no one can repeat the plan afterwards.
The next team meeting is already a different story.
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. A kickoff in Hong Kong has to meet the views the team already holds, not recap a year they lived through.
Mid-year reviews feel like a surprise because no shared plan survived.
The slides improve, and the Monday behaviour does not.
The kickoff looks polished, and the plan still does not travel.
If the room left unclear, people invent their own plan, and the year splits.
Leaders try to cover the whole year in one sitting, so nothing stands out. The team nods and then returns to old habits. It's like handing someone a complete atlas when they asked for the way home.
Only 17% of buying time goes to suppliers, and internal attention is just as tight. A kickoff should set a plan, not recap every slide in the strategy pack.
People still want a leader's view on what matters. The talk should leave managers with words they can take to their own teams.
InvestHK helped 560 companies set up or expand in Hong Kong in 2025. Your team will be selling into that movement.
Hong Kong had more than 5,200 startups in 2025. The kickoff should say clearly which of them you will pursue.

61%
