PENNSAUKEN, N.J. — Williams Trading Co. is pleased to announced that Sales Representative and Brand Ambassador Paul Reutershan has been nominated for a 2021 XBIZ Exec Award as "Community Figure of the Year."
"Paul worked in the adult industry over two decades before joining the Williams Trading team. He is the face behind the 'Williams Weekly Picks' videos, which introduces new and bestselling items from manufacturers to viewers in short, easy-to-digest episodes," noted a company rep. "These short videos are meant to give busy retailers and other industry professionals a brief introduction to new products available through Williams Trading, and can be found across several platforms, including YouTube, Williams Trading University — the free e-Learning platform available to current and new accounts — and now, XBIZ.tv."
Earlier this year in April, added the rep, "Paul took to social media during the height of COVID,and created Pleasure Professionals Place (P3), a Facebook group for adult industry professionals to stay connected as the pandemic forced many states into quarantine and lockdowns. Since its inception, the group has grown to over 1,800 members, and has served to not only allow industry pros to stay connected, but has proven itself a new platform in which members can network, share ideas, and discuss business, issues, opportunities and trends in the industry."
"As the founder of the P3 group and face of 'Williams Weekly Picks,' Paul has been an integral part of the adult community, and his nomination is much-deserved," said the rep.
Reutershan expressed gratitude for the laurel.
"I'm honored to be nominated for 'Community Figure Of The Year.' Our industry is often misunderstood by those who are not a part of our business," he said. "It’s an industry full of some of the most generous and giving professionals I’ve ever known. My goal is always to see where I can be of service to others and act as a connector to facilitate giving back to a community that has given me so much."
President and CEO Bob Pyne Jr. praised Reutershan.
"On behalf of Williams Trading, I would like to congratulate Paul on his nomination for 'Community Figure of the Year.' The 'Weekly Picks' videos and P3 community on Facebook have been integral to moving forward during this pandemic, and offers us all new ways of staying connected while social distancing."
The 2021 XBIZ Exec Awards, sponsored by Satisfyer, will be presented in January as part of the debut virtual edition of the XBIZ Honors ceremony. Voting is underway on XBIZ.net and continues through Wednesday, November 25.
