About the Opportunity
This isn’t a traditional sales role; it’s a chance to build and operate a hyperlocal magazine in your community, backed by the support of an established national company. You’ll build something of your own: developing your market, your client relationships, and working to grow a recurring revenue stream.

If accepted, you’d operate as a local publisher: driving revenue, building partnerships with business owners, and shaping a magazine that reflects the heart of your community.
Your first months will focus on establishing your territory and building your client base. From there, you grow an asset you own.
This hybrid position involves a blend of in-person community engagement and work performed from your home office.
Who You Are
Entrepreneurial and self-directed: you’re energized by building something, not just maintaining it A natural relationship-builder with consultative sales instincts Motivated by helping local businesses grow and succeed Confident enough to trust N2’s proven system and make it your own
