    After $35M From Ads, Here's My Entire Scaling Playbook

    Work With Me To Scale Your Business: https://go.scalingwithsystems.com/whats-next ———————————— Watch Me Fix $1M+ Businesses Live: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF-fSrHojCgG8V5-7AKVrKgcbtsd-BXti&si=kEOVnNFnLhhhDbYA ———————————— Join Our Team: https://www.scalingwithsystems.com/careers In this episode of the Constraint Call, Ravi sits down with the founder of Hispanic Auto Leads, whose business generates and converts car buyer leads for dealerships at $350K–$365K a month. Together they dig into the real numbers behind the funnel and uncover a costly blind spot: the business isn't spending nearly enough on ads relative to its lifetime value, quietly leaving close to $1M a month on the table. Ravi breaks down the math live, showing why a low close rate isn't actually the problem, and lays out a simple framework for scaling ad spend, testing creatives, and tracking the right KPIs. It's a real-time look at how one overlooked number can unlock the next phase of growth.
