LOS ANGELES — Wicked Sensual Care (WSC) has announced its newest "Retail Superstar" honoree is Alexis E. of Newman, Georgia’s Starship Enterprises.
“Whether it is to recognize the inspiring track record of a hardworking sales associate or to salute the exemplary contributions of an educator or gifted customer service specialist,” a rep noted, “each month a new superstar of the pleasure products space is interviewed for the WSC newsletter."
Alexis was drawn to "the inclusive atmosphere Starship Enterprises provided."
"I got into adult retail for the environment. I was able to be myself, to express myself freely. I felt comfortable being open to my peers and trying my best to help others feel the same way," they recalled. "I love helping customers realize that the things we do are normal and nothing to be ashamed of."
"My specialty is showing people products they didn’t even know existed,” they continued. “I love showing them new lubes and sensation gels, things they never would have chosen for themselves or considered before. Opening those doors for them is super-rewarding. It makes my customers, and myself, feel like they are getting the most out of their time in the store and in the bedroom."
Their favorite part of the job is "being able to educate customers on how to be safe and healthy during their intimate times."
"When you take the time to educate your customers, not only does it make them feel more comfortable and willing to communicate their needs to you, but it gives you a sense of purpose and makes me, in particular, feel like I am doing something worthwhile," Alexis added.
Those working in the retail sector of the pleasure products space are invited to nominate employees and colleagues who continuously exceed expectations and deserve recognition for their ability to position themselves as product and industry experts.
“Knowledge is power and for our retailer partners, thorough product knowledge is key,” observed WSC Sales Director Jennifer Brice. “It is difficult to effectively sell to a customer if you can’t show how a particular product will address their individual needs. An employee like Alexis knows it is important that customers understand the value of the product, how the product should and can be used and what products work well together. Thank you for all your hard work, Alexis, we appreciate you!”
A superstar may be nominated by sending their name, store name, location/city, store social media handles and a brief paragraph about why they deserve to be a superstar to team@wickedsensualcare.com. Superstars may also self-nominate.
