''When we decided to apply for SME Instrument funding, we had no previous experience
with such procedures.
Our colleague advised us to contact Mr. Zemljic, as he is very succesful and experienced with
H2020 submissions.
Mr. Zemljic accepted our project and helped us a lot with advices on proposal structure,
business terminology and strategy.
Our proposal has evolved from roughly outlined to successfully-passed and granted project.
We especially appreciated his calming energy and help in stressful events, like final proposal
submission.
We would definitely recommend working with him.''

"After my first SME submission which scored 11.2, I have spoken to four consulting agencies
Belgium, Holland etc. aiming at providing support for the SME project proposals
improvements. However, their conditions and competencies were not convincing. Luckily, I
have gotten the information from the Serbian SME community about Mr. Kristjan Zemljic, as
one of the most respected SME H2020 consultants with a very high success rate. Kristjan
accepted to discuss my project and afterward, despite the short notice, worked with me on
the proposal. In a couple of iterations, he managed to reinforce the business side of the
project, as well as to help me strengthen my business strategy, use of business terminology
and confidence in my project, which resulted in successfully passing several pitching phases
in the accelerator program I attended and reaching the finals.
The submitted project, on the other hand, was selected for funding, which I was very happy
with.
Besides being extremely professional, Kristjan is a very pleasant person to work with. He is
dedicated and devoted to his mission - helping raise the level of innovative project proposals
in EU.
I would definitely work again with Kristjan and have already recommended him to several
SME owners and CEOs."
Irena Horvat Žnidaršič, PhD, General Manager, Potenza Medica (granted Horizon 2020 SME Instrument).
“Odobreno Consulting has an amazing results in SME Instrument, which is not suprising me
at all. A key to win the Sme Instrument is in understaning it. Kristjan, lead expert who
worked with us, brought in that perspective. He knows exactly what evaluators are looking
for and how to catch and retain their attention. And that is how you can stand out from
other competitive projects. Each word counts and Kristjan doesn‘t give up until everything is
in its place. What I also liked was web page od Odobreno consulting which is full of usefull
blogs, e-books and video trainings which helped us prepare even better. I recommend
Odobreno Consulting for cooperation to any innovative company which aims to take part in
Sme Instrument.”

Andreas Prodromidis, PhD, Co-founder, Simple New Ideas PC (applicant in Horizon 2020 SME Instrument)
Kristjan is a real professional to work with. We approached Kristjan to help us improve our H2020 proposal, just 10 days ahead of the submission deadline, not knowing what quality of a job he could deliver in such a short notice. He managed to make insightful comments and tips, not just on the content, but also on our proposal structure, layout and writing style. Furthermore, he made himself available for a second review and another follow-up, despite the pressing time constraints. Kristjan showed that he knows all aspects of this field thoroughly. He shared his knowledge openly, contributed to a very smooth collaboration and, in the process, he helped us gain valuable knowledge too. We hope to have the chance to collaborate with him again in the future.

If I would want to gain so much knowledge in such a short period of time on my own, I would need years to achieve that.
One conversation with Maja had a value of hundred e-mails. Conversations we had were adjusted to my needs and contained so much value that I can't compare them with any other training program. I couldn't wait for the next session each week.
Neva Strel Pletikos, consultant for teachers and parents
I decided to work with Maja, because I saw her post on Facebook. It was like she is talking to me. I had the feeling that she is talking to me. Before I met Maja, I didn't know how to promote myself, what and where to promote.
Most of all I like her relaxed conversation and later I reached my goal. I trusted her, because she knew I have a lot of potentials. She gave me concrete instructions on blogging, posts and setting goals. When she fixed the blog, I said to myself: ''This is exactly what I wanted to say. How come I couldn't remember this!''
I would recommend her to all, who want to get out of the comfort zone and would like to offer something original with added value. Maja's knowledge is priceless and it was an honor to work with her.
Anita Kejžar Škulj, Life Coach
I chose Maja from a selection of different marketing providers. I chose her because she offered one-on-one exclusive executive coaching. I first met her years ago, when she gave a workshop about creative writing for entrepreneurs. I immediately recognized her as an expert. I had a good feeling that she was someone who could teach me how to write. The most valuable experience for me was when she taught me how to transform complex text into text that convinces the reader. I learned which words to choose so readers will really understand me. After working with her I was also clear on how to identify my ideal clients. I would recommend working with Maja to all entrepreneurs. Maja can teach you how to use the most effective sales and marketing tactics.
