I help coaches, consultants, agency owners optimize their lead strategies and boost annual profits by up to 60% with data-driven digital marketing strategy | Grew a business from 0.1M to 1.5M in 1Y | DM me & let’s chat.

Hello, I'm Dean, your navigator through the intricate world of digital marketing data towards unparalleled business success. As a coach, consultant, or agency owner, you understand that leads are just the start. What you need is a sophisticated system that not only captures these leads but also efficiently converts them into loyal, paying clients.

My approach centers around harnessing the power of your existing data. Often, the key to unlocking your business’s potential lies hidden within your own statistics – identifying both your strengths and the bottlenecks hindering your growth. By meticulously analyzing this data, we can make informed, impactful decisions that drive tangible success.

Think of it in terms of the butterfly effect: small, data-driven tweaks in your digital marketing strategy can lead to significant, transformative results for your business. It’s about understanding and leveraging these minor yet critical changes that create ripples, eventually leading to a powerful surge in your revenue and client base.

My strategy is not just about collecting data; it’s about interpreting it in a way that brings clarity and directs action. We’ll dive deep into your analytics, uncover the subtle nuances, and use these insights to build a robust, result-oriented marketing system. This system will work tirelessly, turning every lead into a potential success story.

Every lead in your system, every click on your site, holds the potential for remarkable growth. With the right data-driven approach, these aren't just numbers; they're the seeds of your future success.

Ready to turn data into money? Don't let your potential just be figures in a report. It's time to act on the insights that are waiting right under your nose. Let's uncover the hidden opportunities in your data and transform them into tangible results.

DM me "I'm in" to start rewriting your business success story.

Experiencing stagnant growth? DM me to help reposition your tech startup to attract best-fit customers 🚀 Lowered CAC by 52% for my last startup 🏹 Founder, Positioning @ Tangible Growth

You've built a good product. You're growing. But does it feel harder than it should?

Hi. I'm Andrej. I help CEOs in complex industries fix three things that kill growth: unclear positioning, misaligned teams, and spending money on developing products & features users don't buy.

- If you are stuck in alignment calls
- not 100% happy with what your website says
- If your board or co-founders are asking questions you don't know how to answer... I've probably seen (and solved) what you are experiencing.

Because the real cost of these challenges? Isn't just growth. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮. You're spending mental energy keeping everyone happy. Second-guessing your decisions on a Sunday night. Spending time in meetings instead of enjoying it with family. (You sigh, as you message your group of friends saying you won't make it to your basketball game for the third week in a row).

This 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 how leading a company should feel like. As a co-founder, I spent 2 years trying every marketing hack in the book chasing growth. Templates, frameworks, books... Nothing changed until we realized the problem wasn't tactics, but positioning. I never wanted to feel that way again, so I got really good at fixing it.

Because here's the truth: This is a 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 problem at your stage. Internally, positioning breaks because your company is evolving. Externally, you are competing against teams with bigger budgets that make clear, de-risked decision. Most founders hire consultants hoping for the answer, but their frameworks never get implemented. That's the gap.

I've been fortunate to learn from and work alongside the best in the industry, including Seth Godin, Brian Tracy, and Philip Kotler, which created the foundation of everything I do with founders:

Instead of consulting, I work with your team. We map your market, find your strengths, turn them into a competitive advantage. One that works across your product, marketing, and sales.

The result of that is confidence & clarity on what to build, who to target, and how to win.This approach has:

✔️ Helped a CEO scale their B2B SaaS from $1M to $3M in < 12 months.
✔️ Helped a management team build a defensible strategy for a B2C tech company scaling from $10M to $30M
✔️ Helped a B2B AI team deliver 10 impressive leads (Accenture, Bridgestone, ERM) proving traction before going for Series A. 

I work with max 3 companies per quarter. If you want that to be you, book a call. 

Let's see how we can turn the challenges you are facing into your competitive advantage: https://tidycal.com/tangible-growth/discovery-call

Founder

With Tangible Growth, I want to help you turn poor positioning symptoms:

➡️ You have some loyal customers, but new clients don’t know what you do
➡️ You have long sales processes, low conversion rates
➡️ Clients object your prices.
➡️ You don't get enough or get poor quality leads
➡️ People are leaving your product.

Into a strong positioning strategy, where you will be able to leverage your newly found position to:
💥 Get more high-quality leads at a lower cost
💥 Convert more leads into clients
💥 Charge more
💥 Increase your product's lifetime value
💥 Grow sustainably!

Send me an email to grow@apersolja.com and let's nail your positioning.

We sailed past $1M ARR in November. In December, we hit $1.5M. But we didn't get there by chasing hacks. Instead, we focused on 3 things that most SaaS companies at $1M+ ignore 👇

I joined Aimfox end of September as a CMO/CGO.
The growth has been explosive. We keep raising the goals and just... keep hitting them.

The results are mostly down to having an amazing product (becoming a top choice in the outreach space), mastering the foundations and the team's hard work.

Here are the 3 major moves we made immediately:

**1. We treated onboarding like it matters (because it does)**
This comes down to a long-standing belief: If users don't understand the value of product IMMEDIATELY, they drop off in the funnel. So...
- We simplified the UX.
- We set better context.
- We managed expectations.

The results? Double the website to paying user conversion rates. I'm surprised more companies don't make better care of how the users experience their products. 

The UX improvements translate nicely onto the bottom line. At each point in the buyer's journey think: What does the customer know? What's the next piece of information they need to make a decision? And then give them that.

PS. If you think your software might need UX work, feel free to send this post to your CEO / CPO or tag them in the comments below. 

**2. We got serious about analytics.**
Tracking what matters helps us segments clients so we can serve unique customer segments... uniquely. It's not (just) about maximizing the profits, but mostly about (again) giving the users the experience they are looking for. 

The analytics currently help us qualify users, but in the future, we have a HUGE plan to set up systems that will allow you to go down a completely unique path in the software.

The goal is providing as much value as possible to each individual user. That value translates into higher order value and higher retention rates. = more happiness for the client. More money for the company.

**3. We went where our customers are.**
The key to early growth is collaboration. Our clients already do outreach. So we partnered with Instantly.ai. They are using Clay, so we hosted a Clay event. You get the point. Early... Don't try to change your users' habits. Latch onto them instead. 

Shout out to Aleksandar Besarovic who is absolutely killing it in building these relationships. And if you are interested in partnering or integrating with Aimfox, don't hesitate to reach out to him. 

2026? Goals are even bigger.
I'm not going to spoil anything, but we have some massive announcements coming in the next weeks and months. So stay tuned and click that follow button.

Would you like to be a part of the discussion: Oyku and I are thinking of hosting a small get-together. A live (online) event, where we would be sharing insights and exhanging knowledge on things we are doing to grow our companies. Interested?

Fractional Growth (CMO/CGO) | Growing Aimfox | 🏂 Fan of snowboarding, motorsports & rock concerts.

At the end of the month I am recording a podcast with the man who was pivotal in ClickUp's growth to 10M users. 

I'm not exagerating, says so right on their website. 

Gaurav Agarwal is the Chief Operation Officer at ClickUp and has played a crucial role in developing a hybrid go-to-market strategy that combines product-led and sales-assist approaches, effectively reducing customer acquisition costs and enhancing revenue generation. 

As a fan of PLG + Sales assisted growth working together, I'm sure we'll have a good conversation (I'll try not to get too nerdy around Clickup's positioning & GTM, but I'm making no promises 😅)

But I wanted to hear from YOU. If you had the chance... what would you ask Clickup's COO? (Think: what would help my company / client?)

Fair warning: I've already collected some questions by industry leaders (more on that in future posts), so I can't promise every question will get asked, but I'll consider every one of them and choose the ones that will suit the narrative I have in mind. 

PS. Make sure to give me a follow for future posts and click on that bell button to be the first one notified when the episode airs.

Zoom made my business.  
In‑person meetings made it scale.

I worked with SaaS teams all over the world on Zoom… California, NY, UK, Switzerland, Germany, Australia... and I still try to meet every client face-to-face at key moments.

Why?

Harvard’s Tsedal Neeley puts it bluntly:  
“Even in the age of digital communication, periodic face-to-face meetings are essential. They help global teams build trust more quickly, resolve miscommunication, and establish norms that make virtual collaboration far more effective.”

The problem I see in our industry for most fractionals / service providers?

They treat in-person as random.  
“I’ll visit when I’m in the area.”  
“We’ll see about meeting at the next conference.”

The last designer that I worked with wasn't thrilled to meet and we were in the same town!

I get that travel comes with its problems. But SaaS world moves to fast for you to wait for the next "excuse" to be in town. And with the simplicity of travel today, there is no excuse not to "go the extra mile" and meet your team in person.

In my mind, the key is to be there for your clients in key moments.
- When you are starting to work together and need to set up workflows
- For important strategy decisions
- To workshop things like positioning, website redesign
- When fundraising or closing a HUGE client.

Everything else? Status updates. Feature reviews. Async feedback... 

Keeping those remote. ruthlessly. Not just remote, but often off-Zoom as well. I found that too many Zoom calls lead to me being "zoomed out". Thank you Loom for often saving me from too many meetings.

Anyway, that’s how I try and get the best of both worlds:
- Efficiency from digital that allows me to work with any team.
- Depth from in-person that allows me to build relationship and make decisions faster.

I’ve literally wrote this from the Aimfox's office in Belgrade.

Zoom got us started. We first met remote.
Being in the room is what’s going to help them scale faster. We already have big plans in work for Q1.

If you’re a fractional or any type of a service provider, here’s your quick filter:

Before booking your next flight, ask:  
1️⃣ Is this about trust, ambiguity, or a high‑stakes decision?  
2️⃣ Will this materially change the size, length, or quality of this relationship?  
3️⃣ Will the insight from this meeting compound across multiple accounts?

If you get a yes, pack your bags.

And if you are a founder / CEO reading this. Invite your "outside" team members to your office. Get to meet them. You'll get more results that way. And some friends in the process.

I recently spoke to one of the highest valued GTM strategist in SaaS and asked him what he thought was the key to growing a SaaS.

I'll share a detailed answer later (click that follow button for notification), but a simple answer is: You need to focus on your customers and their experience .

Which is exactly what we found with Aimfox. Our growth is down to a combination of having a good product + giving the users the experience they need. 

And I'm not just talking about the easy-to-use software. But about our users value drivers. In short: You need to meet them where they are, raise the right expectations, the product needs to deliver. 

More in the article below. Save for later or share if you found it useful. Appreciate it.

Happy new year :) If you are like me, you are heavy into 12-hours working days since January 1st and have already forgotten we were on holidays less t

#18 - THE UX TRUTH: TIME TO VALUE MATTERS MORE THAN...

In 2026, my goal is to "do more cool stuff". (I didn't say "stuff" 😉) But then my Miro notes hit against reality...

I've been reflecting on my own goals for 2026, and the reality is, I'm already pulling 10 hour days. Simply "doing more" isn't the answer.

It got me thinking about past projects and people I've worked with. Many SaaS founders I work with, are in a similar situation, feeling overwhelmed and drowning in meetings. But what's truly behind this constant busyness?

I found busyness often comes from a lack of team alignment.

During "positioning week" - a service I run to help companies figure out their positioning in a week - I have an excercise where you ask your departnment heads 3 questions:
- What's our most important customer segment?
- Why do they buy?
- What's the most important focus for our company for the next 12 months?

If you get 2-3 different answers, this misalignment in the vision typically means you are mostly stuck in endless debates. Decision become based on "who can convince who". It's office politics, counter-productive and utterly exhausting.

That's why I love operating with data. When the company's decisions are based on data, the discussions stop, or, better yet, become productive. 

For example, when you operate with opinions, you might like feature X. The head of marketing likes feature Y. The head of sales likes their own reflection in the mirror. Who wins?

If you have the data (63% of customers say they prefer X as the next feature instead of Y) it's much easier to do the decision to go with feature X. 

In a way, positioning is more of a people management problem than a technical problem. 

Positioning misalignment = days feel long, exhausting, and unproductive.
When people rally around a comon position = every challenge feels "easy".

I recently connected with Anita, who approaches this same problem from a different angle. She helps burnt-out founders rediscover their passion for their business amidst the chaos.

I focus on aligning positioning to improve company performance. She focuses on reclaiming a founder's time and energy... to improve company performance.

Together, we address the core issues that impact both the business and the leader.

**And that sparked an idea.**

We want to tackle this problem live and are offering a "hotseat" kind of an opportunity for a SaaS company dealing with a positioning challenge, led by a CEO who feels like they can't catch a break.

If your marketing efforts aren't resonating...
If sales growth has plateaued...
If you're simply tired of the relentless daily grind...

We want to dive deep into your situation and present a clear, actionable solution during a live event. (Obviously in a way that doesn't expose your data or show you in a bad way to the public)

You in? DM either of us or comment below. And if you know someone that might benefit, do tag them in the comments.

10+ years of experience in marketing taught me something: we’re better off when we stop pretending we have it all figured out and actually start talking about the messier parts of the job with people who get it.

Next week, Oyku and I are hosting a small session for CMOs and growth leaders. 

There are no stages, no slide decks, and definitely no vendor pitches. It’s just a few of us in a room talking about the challenges we are facing, and specifically about how to manage client expectations when your sales numbers are down.

If you’re a CMO or Head of Marketing in SaaS and you’re tired of only hearing about the wins, this is for you.

Intrigued? DM Oyku or me and I’ll send over the details. If you know someone who needs to be in this room, tag them or pass this along.
