PENNSAUKEN, N.J. — In light of the recent stay-at-home mandates related to the coronavirus pandemic, Williams Trading has opened its e-learning portal, Williams Trading University (WTU) to all adult retailers.
Formerly available only to those with Williams Trading accounts, the platform can now be accessed by all adult retailers here.
Regarding the announcement, Scott D., Williams Trading's sales and marketing director shared, "We have now settled into our first week of mandatory in-home sheltering and business closure here in New Jersey. Many of our adult partners within the U.S. are also affected by business closures and dealing with adjusting to new schedules while staying at home."
"We feel that opening up this effective home-based e-learning tool as a resource to all adult wholesale customers," he explained, "is an effective tool to help store owners, employees and all distributors' sales personnel to stay motivated and engaged during this unprecedented time."
To date, WTU offers over 120 active e-learning courses. Online courses are available nonstop and can be taken on a PC, and on Android and iOS smartphones or tablets.
WTU recently rolled out a new "gamification" program, which offers custom badging and premium awards to recognize participants' achievements based on an eight-level tier system; the more courses a person completes, the higher their level will be.
WTU added a new Retailers Guide to COVID-19 course last week.
"Take one course per day at home and watch your points and status grow," enthused Rachel M., a Williams Trading sales rep. "The courses are fun and offer interactive content — they also helps to keep you motivated to learn more about the industry products and keep boredom at bay!"
