Area Sales Director

N2 - All Jobs • Santa Barbara, CA

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

This opportunity is not a traditional sales role; it's a chance to build and operate a hyperlocal magazine in your community, supported by an established national company. You will develop your market, client relationships, and grow a recurring revenue stream. It's ideal for relationship-driven sellers ready to invest in building a business, blending sales, ownership, and community leadership. The position, known as Area Director, involves launching, growing, and leading a Real Producers publication in your local market. You will operate as a local publisher, driving revenue, building partnerships with business owners, and shaping a magazine that reflects your community. Your initial months will focus on establishing your territory and client base, after which you will grow an asset you own. This is a hybrid position, combining in-person community engagement with work performed from your home office.
