454 | From 75 to 125 Wholesale Accounts including Her First Key Accounts, Case Study with Charina Cabanayan, Orchid & Pine
You know that moment when your business starts asking more of you than your systems can deliver? A key account shows interest, your line is scaling, and you can feel the gap between where you are and what's coming. That's exactly where Charina Cabanayan was when she joined Paper Camp — 75 independent accounts, a sales rep group, and a growing pressed floral line at Orchid & Pine Studio. This episode shares her experiences participating in Paper Camp.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How Charina grew from 75 to 125 wholesale accounts — including her first 3 key accounts — by building systems before chasing salesHow to take the emotion out of pricing, and why creatives struggle with this more than any other part of wholesaleWhy she pulled her handmade collection from her wholesale catalog when the numbers showed it couldn't scaleWhat changed in wholesale between her first business (250 accounts, twenty years ago) and today — and why experience goes out of dateHow to work with sales reps and showrooms without costly mistakesWhy slowing down intentionally can be a sign of a healthy business, not a failing one
