Check, check. Systems check. 🎙️⁠
⁠
Carlos Gonzalez, Claxton’s Systems Architect & Growth Operator, is all about developing the systems that bring order to complexity and create the structure for sustainable growth.⁠
⁠
And just like checking the mic before you go live, your sales systems should tell you what’s working, what needs attention, and whether you’re on pace to hit your goals.⁠
⁠
So... how are your systems?⁠
⁠

Back with another Case Study!⁠
⁠
This one is extra special: our very first client, Haute Diggity Dog.⁠
⁠
It’s a fascinating read, so start swiping to see how the story unfolds, what we tackled together, and what the next chapter holds.⁠
⁠
As Bruce Haas puts it:⁠
⁠
“Simply put, the Claxton team gets results.”⁠
⁠
Thanks Bruce.

You can Google an answer.⁠
It is harder to find people who understand the question.⁠
⁠
The Claxton Collective brings together people who work in wholesale every day.⁠
⁠
A place to compare notes, solve problems, share insights, and connect with people who get the work.⁠

What are you really paying for shipping?⁠
⁠
The Auspi Group helps companies find out.⁠
⁠
They benchmark UPS, FedEx, and DHL contracts against what similar shippers are actually paying, then help clients negotiate better rates based on their shipping profile, volume, and market data.⁠
⁠
For brands spending $250K+ a year on small parcel shipping, that could mean a closer look at what’s being left on the table.⁠
⁠
And we’re glad to have Auspi Group as a founding sponser of our community, and supporting the gift industry as a whole through GHTA and GSMA.⁠

This one’s a bit of a read. But trust us, it’s a good one. So settle in and get that swiping finger ready.⁠

⁠
Here’s a little glimpse into how we work: Summit → Roadmap → Results⁠
⁠
When we began working with Softies in March 2024, the brand was growing fast, but the systems behind it needed to catch up. We got inside the business, identified what was out of sync, and brought the leadership team together for the first Softies Summit to align priorities, timing + ownership.⁠
⁠
3 Summits later, that rhythm continues to support Softies’ growth.⁠
⁠
