WFCA Launches New Training Modules & On-site Education Camps

Dalton, GA, January 9, 2017––THE WFCA has announced the rollout of new training modules and on-site educational camps available through the association’s WFCA University training program.

WFCA University, created in partnership with Benchmarkinc, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based recruiting and consulting firm, provides members with an array of professional training programs designed to enhance business skill sets for flooring industry professionals in a variety of disciplines and capacities. 

The educational platform offers courses that tackle the most pressing issues faced by today’s independent flooring retailer with five different curriculums: inside sales, business owner training, outside sales, sales management and installation for sales people. The two-pronged WFCA University platform offers highly effective, targeted online module courses and live, on-site training.

To date, the digital component of WFCA University consists of 45 online courses covering such topics as selling skills, merchandising controls, pricing strategies, budgeting and financial metrics, sales management and recruiting and compensating productive employees, among dozens of others. 

The content can be used by one or all employees and can be paused, replayed, and accessed over and over. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the material, all modules include testing and certification at the completion of each course.

In addition to the digital component, WFCA University offers live, on-site intensive camps—think of them as “destination seminars,”—designed to provide more in depth training in a collaborative environment.

The camps take place throughout the year in locations throughout the country including Seattle, Philadelphia, Orlando and Atlanta, to name a few. Business owners and/or their management and sales staff can learn how to better manage their sales team through the Management Camp; identify ways to improve business productivity, profitability and secure untapped business opportunities through the Outside Sales Camp; or unveil and unleash untapped talent from rookie and novice sales executives who show potential but are underperforming through the Inside Sales Camp. These are just a few of the camps WFCA University offers.

WFCA University operates under a subscription plan for online content that can be accessed by multiple staff members depending on chosen plan. The destination training camps are billed per individual. Both options are eligible for the WFCA Scholarship reimbursement program.
