What I do

Revenue leaks in the seams.

Most B2B companies I meet have four teams that each look fine on their own dashboard. Marketing hits its lead number. Sales complains about lead quality. Customer success hears about the promises after the contract is signed. Positioning lives in a deck from two years ago.

Every one of those teams has an owner. The space between them has none. That is where the money goes missing, quarter after quarter, and it never shows up as one line on any report. The seam is my job.

I map the whole commercial system, find the seam that leaks the most, and rebuild it with the people who run it every day. Then we move to the next one. The work ends when the system produces pipeline without me in the room.

Positioning

Who we are for, and what we are the obvious choice for. Written in the buyer's words, tested against real deals, and used by every team, not framed on a wall.

Marketing to sales

Demand that sales actually wants. One definition of a good opportunity, one scoreboard, and content that does the first half of the sales conversation before anyone books a call.

Sales to customer success

What was sold is what gets delivered. Handover built into the deal, so the first ninety days confirm the purchase instead of testing it.

The loop

Customers who feed the top of the system. Referrals, expansion and proof from the people already paying, so acquisition gets cheaper every year instead of more expensive.

The work runs through Funky Enterprises, with a bench of senior partners in performance, creative, owned media and commercial operations. Often on a retainer plus a share of the result, because I prefer to get paid when you grow.

Writing

Commercial Systems.

  • Newsletter on LinkedIn and Substack, weekly
  • Column in BIZLife, weekly, in Serbian
  • LinkedIn posts most days, English

Weekly notes on building commercial systems that compound revenue. Positioning, marketing, sales and customer success as one machine, written from inside real engagements, with the numbers where I am allowed to show them.

Free, every week, straight to your inbox. If you run or grow a B2B company, this is the one email I would want you to read from me.

Speaking

Talks I give.

Three signature talks, adapted to every room. Keynotes and executive sessions for B2B founders, revenue leaders and marketing teams. In English or Serbian. No slides read out loud.

Building go-to-market systems that scale after the demo. What AI changes in a commercial system, what it does not, and where the money is actually made.

Off the clock

Why Dilimanac.

Dilimanac was my father's nickname. Miroljub Živković was a basketball man in Pirot, and I grew up in gyms, reading games through the box score before I could read a balance sheet. The habit stuck. Every business I look at, I still ask who is scoring, who is passing, and where the turnovers happen.

I follow KK Partizan through good seasons and bad. I play funk loud, read epic fantasy and comics, chase old Jordans and Adidas classics, and cook over fire whenever the weather allows. Novi Sad has been home since 2018.
