About the Opportunity

• Partner with N2's national team for design, production, training, and ongoing support

Qualifications

• 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
• High school diploma or GED
• US Resident
• Ability to operate a home-based business with local community engagement
