Why we picked it A well-known operator's actual tool-by-tool stack - Klaviyo for email, Gorgias for support, Smartrr for subscriptions, Okendo for reviews - built from 100+ hours talking to DTC founders. Useful as a sanity check for whether your own stack is missing an obvious job.

From 1800dtc.com by Nik Sharma (via 1800DTC)

Each tool is tied to one specific revenue or retention job, not installed 'just in case'.
Support and subscriptions are treated as revenue tools, not cost centres.
A good model for how to think in 'jobs to be done' rather than app categories.
