About Blaž

Business Growth Advisor | Sales Strategy | Market Expansion

For more than 30 years, I have helped SME owners turn strategy into measurable business growth.

My work focuses on sales growth, business development, market expansion, and helping companies transform ideas into practical actions that generate revenue.

As co-founder of Lisac & Lisac, a business education and consulting company established in 1995, I have worked with entrepreneurs, management teams, and sales organizations across a wide range of industries. My experience combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution and implementation.

Over the past three decades, I have:

• Advised and educated more than 160,000 entrepreneurs, managers, and sales professionals

• Built and managed large-scale sales and lead generation programs

• Helped companies improve sales performance and develop stronger commercial organizations

• Supported market expansion initiatives and business development projects across the Adriatic region

• Contributed to the publication of more than 140 business books

• Co-created FirmaKids, a business simulation game available in four languages that helps participants understand entrepreneurship, business decision-making, and financial literacy

I am particularly interested in projects involving:

• Business Growth Strategy

• Sales Strategy and Sales Team Development

• Business Development

• Market Expansion and New Market Entry

• Go-to-Market Strategy

• Commercial Excellence

• Revenue Growth

My approach is practical, results-oriented, and focused on execution. I believe that growth rarely depends on strategy alone. Most often, success comes from turning strategy into action and action into measurable results.
