FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if a merchant using another tool heard your pitch and saw exactly what switching would gain them this season? Imagine naming the friction they live with today, showing the result after the switch, and asking for a pilot. It's like a migration wizard that shows the benefit before asking for the data. Even if they are locked into a current platform, your pitch can still earn a trial.

Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
He closed over $7 million in deals, so a Hangzhou pitch is coached to win a pilot, not to win a feature argument.
He started coaching basketball at 16, and a pitch is rehearsed like a play, then the tape is reviewed.
His graduates have produced 8-figure results using the method, two of their stories follow later on this page, and merchant pitches are built on it.
He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. In a Xixi pitch the rule is to show the gain before asking for the switch.
The pitch starts with the merchant's current friction, so the gain is clear.
Migration effort is addressed directly, which is what keeps merchants with their current tool.
P.I.T.C.H. ends with a pilot ask timed to their renewal window.
The sales pitch coaching in Singapore method, applied for Hangzhou rooms.
We hear your current pitch as a merchant using another tool would, and note where switching effort is ignored.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits rebuild the pitch: today's friction, the gain after switching, how migration is handled, then the ask for a pilot.
You rehearse with us, including migration and timing objections, until the pitch holds.
If the demo after the pitch is where merchants drop off, see sales demo coaching in Hangzhou. For a whole team's pitching method, see sales presentation training in Hangzhou.

"If it's not good enough to teach my own brother, then it's not good enough to sell." That is the standard Jason Lim sets for Future of Selling, the flagship of DreaMaker Ventures. He founded both to offer less pain, fewer regrets, and more time for the people his graduates love.
While he was young, a financial scam took the family's savings. He started coaching basketball at 16 and entered sales at 21, later closing over $7 million in deals. Through DreaMaker Ventures and Leaders of Tomorrow, he teaches founders to make their value clear. Through it all he learned from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. Among those who trained with him are leaders from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio.
In a Xixi meeting the merchant agrees your tool does more, and still stays put.
The pitch skips the question of data, staff training and campaign disruption.
The pitch arrives after the renewal decision, because nobody asked when it was.
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 pitch that only compares features adds nothing to their comparison.
Pitches become feature comparisons, and merchants stay with the tool they already know.
Brands agree the product is better and still do not want the hassle of migrating.
You learn the brand renewed with a competitor only after the window closed, and evenings go to chasing the next one.
The switching effort felt larger than the gain, and the window closes until next season.
Hangzhou SaaS and platform pitches often focus on feature advantages over the merchant's current tool. Merchants weigh switching effort against gain, and a feature comparison does not make the gain feel larger than the hassle. It's like asking users to download a new app because it has more settings.
Most buyers prefer to research on their own first. A Hangzhou pitch has to show the gain from switching, not just the features.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers. The pitch has to use that time to make switching feel worth it.
