Share this job
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 you're a relationship-driven seller ready to invest in building a business, this role blends sales, ownership, and community leadership into one unique opportunity.
Position Summary
We're seeking a Territory Sales Manager (known to N2 as Area Directors) to launch, grow, and lead a BeLocal publication in your local market. 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
What You'll Do
- Conduct consultative meetings with local business owners to establish long-term advertising partnerships
- Build meaningful relationships within the community using a proven engagement model
- Connect local businesses with their ideal customers through your publication
- Engage with homeowners to capture authentic, community-driven content
- Manage your territory, sales pipeline, and publication operations
- Partner with N2's national team for design, production, training, and ongoing support
- Lead your publication's growth as the face of Stroll in your market
What You’ll Love
- Ownership, Not Just Employment – Build and manage a local publication business in your market
- Flexible Schedule – Design your workday around your life
- Comprehensive Training – Proven, repeatable systems to guide your success
- Award-Winning Culture – Supportive, nationally recognized team behind you
- Community Impact – Become a connector and leader in your local area
