Frequently Asked Questions About N2 Publishing and the Area Director Position When was N2 Publishing created? We started in June of 2004 in Wilmington, NC. We have since expanded into more than 15 markets across America with annual sales exceeding $3.0 million. What types of publications does N2 specialize in? While our core product focuses on the communication and social needs of a typical neighborhood, we also produce annual directories and city magazines. How many publications can one Area Director (AD) have? We initially limit the amount of publications based on an Area Director's ability to manage his/her existing workload, but typically an AD can have as many publications as s/he chooses to have. From where does the editorial content come for each publication? N2 has corporate editors and partnerships with outside companies such as: a. Edward Jones b. Case Handyman c. AAA Travel, etc. How much does it cost to produce a publication? The cost of each publication varies depending on the number of homes and the page count of each publication. Does N2 produce full color publications? Yes we do. The community must meet certain criteria for full color to be used. Do ADs have equity in their territory? Can they sell their business once it is developed? Yes, ADs can build their business and then sell it if/when they choose to leave. How big is an Area? When a new AD is ready to start, N2 Publishing assists in outlining a protected area. Factors include population and business densities. Do ADs need an office or can they work out of their home? Some ADs choose to work out of their home, while others have a small office outside of their house to separate their work and personal life. Do ADs need staff to operate the business? Initially, no. But over time, most Area Directors do add staff to build their business. Are there opportunities for advancement? Yes. Everyone who starts with N2 starts as an Area Director but can advance to help expand a region. Are there levels of recognition or annual awards? Yes. ADs compete for awards and recognition on a campaign and annual basis. I only want to work 8-to-5 on Monday through Friday. Can I do that? Most of the time, yes. However board / committee meetings are usually in the evening, which will require an hour or two on those nights. Most ADs will attend five to ten board meetings per year. Can my spouse be an editor or a part of my support team? Yes. Do I need special skills to work with N2? Strong communication skills are a must. While previous sales experience will prove helpful, we have several Area Directors in N2 that started without a sales background and have done very well. Our national training and support program continues to educate and provide the necessary tools needed for growth and success. Is N2 a franchise? No we are not. Franchises charge fees up front to begin that are made payable to the Company (Franchisor). We do not accept any payment from Area Directors at any time. That doesn't mean Area Directors don't have any costs to get started.
