The conversation

Milan Savov talks with Vukasin Vukosavljević, CMO at HeyReach, about how the company grew from zero to $8M ARR in 26 months. After a pivot, HeyReach focused on one core problem for outbound teams and cut everything else. Every team worked toward a single north star metric, broken down into department KPIs and weekly commitments. Positioning shifted from features to outcomes, making the user the hero, which improved activation and retention.

Instead of relying on paid ads, the company grew through partnerships and integrations. To avoid burnout during hypergrowth, Vukasin relies on ruthless prioritization, clear ownership, visible dashboards and regular resets.
