FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if your team left the kickoff knowing exactly what to do on Monday? Imagine no more twelve-priority slides and blank stares, and finally a sales kickoff people still talk about in March. Even if last year's kickoff was forgotten by lunch, this one can stick. It's like replacing a 200-item buffet with a set menu everyone actually finishes.
FIX MY KICKOFF TALKWe reply personally on WhatsApp within one business day.
20+ years of coaching, starting with basketball at 16.
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.
The $7M+ came from deals he closed himself, so your kickoff talk is built around what moves deals, not what fills slides.
He started coaching a basketball team at 16, and a kickoff works like a pre-season talk: one plan, a few plays, everyone clear.
The 8-figure results come from graduates who used the same method in their own work. Read two of their stories below.
Marshall Thurber and Chet Holmes are two of them. The full list follows in his story below.
P.I.T.C.H. cuts the kickoff to a few priorities and one story, so the team leaves with a plan they can repeat.
The system breaks selling into steps you can follow, so nothing depends on talent or mood on the day.
Coaching works on the kickoff you are planning now, so it is ready well before the team arrives.
A kickoff sells a plan to your own team. You learn how people commit, so your talk earns that commitment.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits shape the opening, the priorities and the ask of your kickoff.
You rehearse the questions and doubts your team will raise, so the kickoff ends with buy-in, not grumbling.
“Before I met Jason, I was slogging day in and day out, working 15+ hours, “chasing” money, afraid to sleep.”
“my company increased sales by $253,000 in just 6 months.”
Styles Chong, Managing Director, Okeanos Trading. Programmes attended: Facebook Ads Mastery, Perfect Client System, Trustable Brand.

Wee Jun Wei, Managing Director, Lara-J. Programmes attended: Diamond Consult.

Jason Lim has been interviewed by SG Visionaries about his path from extreme introvert to a teacher of speaking and selling. Public speaking once terrified him. He started teaching at 16, when he became a basketball coach.
He entered sales at 21 and closed over $7 million in deals. Under DreaMaker Ventures, he founded Future of Selling, and P.I.T.C.H. is the method he teaches there. Along the way he studied under renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. Leaders from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio have trained with him. Since 2016, that teaching has reached founders across Asia.
The numbers are on the slide, but nobody hears why this year is different.
Every department gets a slide, so the team leaves with none.
The talk inspires on the day and nothing changes in the first week of the quarter.
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 independently through digital channels, so a kickoff talk that wanders wastes the meeting you do get.
The energy fades by the second week, the team goes back to doing what it did last year, and the same leads stall at the same stage.
You rebuild the kickoff deck every year and get the same polite applause.
Kickoff prep takes over the holidays. Family plans get squeezed around rehearsals and late-night slide reviews.
A forgotten kickoff becomes a slow first quarter, and the pressure lands on the same team you meant to inspire.
Most kickoffs announce targets without the story of how to hit them. More slides and more speakers add noise, so the team leaves with nothing to repeat. It's like handing out a map with no 'you are here' marker.
The talk follows Jason's P.I.T.C.H. method; all five moves are explained on the Future of Selling page.
Buyers give suppliers only a small share of their buying time. A kickoff that teaches one clear pitch prepares every rep for it.
Buyers still want a seller's input on whether an offer fits. Your kickoff can set that standard for the whole team.
Tech companies were the largest contributor to headquarters investment in Singapore in 2025. A kickoff that gives every rep the same clear pitch gets the whole team ready for those rooms.
Singapore hosted 156 international association meetings in 2025, the most in Asia Pacific. The kickoff can rehearse the pitch your reps will use when they attend.

Buyers who'd rather skip the rep
61%
