In this episode of Small Business Pivots, Michael sits down with John Ravaris, founder of UVP Solutions, to break down what it actually takes to build a scalable business using systems, not people.

They dive deep into business growth strategy, why most companies struggle to scale, and how aligning sales and marketing can unlock consistent revenue.

If you’ve ever wondered why your business isn’t growing the way it should… or why your sales team isn’t performing… this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been missing.
