We’re Hiring: Local Advertising Sales Partners in Buckeye, Lake Havasu City, Bullhead City and Kingman Arizona.

We are looking for disciplined, experienced Local Advertising Sales Partners to help bring this model to new markets.

  • Earn $2,000 to $3,000 per completed card
  • Cards go to print on Friday, Payouts land the following Wednesday
  • Fast sales cycles, clear inventory, and real ROI for your clients

If you know how to sell local advertising and want a product that business owners immediately understand and value, nineXtwelve was built for you.

The Opportunity

This is a production-based advertising sales model for professionals who know how to sell local ads and want to get paid quickly.

Each 9×12 card holds 12 to 16 ad placements, one per category. Once a card fills, it goes to print that Friday and pays out the following Wednesday. No long billing cycles. No chasing invoices.

New markets typically fill their first card within about two weeks. Once established, income becomes weekly and predictable, tied directly to cards going to print.

This opportunity is strictly for experienced advertising sales professionals who have sold print, radio, media, or local sponsorships and want a high-ROI product with a simple sales model.

What You’ll Do

  1. Prospect and Sell ad placements on premium 9×12 co-op postcards mailed to local households. 
  2. Fill the lineup by placing 12-16 category-exclusive ads per card. 
  3. Maintain the market after launch by replacing typical monthly attrition rather than rebuilding full cards
  4. Focus on relationships and closing, while we handle design, pricing, printing, mailing, payments, and renewals

As markets mature, the work shifts from heavy prospecting to lighter maintenance with repeat advertisers and faster closes.

Compensation & Payouts

  • Earnings: Earn $2,000–$3,000 per completed card. 
  • Fast Payouts: Cards go to print on Fridays, and payouts hit your account the following Wednesday. 
  • Performance-Based Earning: There are no caps on your ability to earn; you are paid directly for every card you complete or collaborate in completing. Payout is proportional if multiple sales partners contribute to the filling of a card.
  • Market Structure: Each local market typically consists of 4 high-impact zones, with one 9×12 card dedicated to each zone. This provides a clear, manageable soft territory where you can maximize your reach and income.
  • Scalability: While inventory per market is set at 4 cards, partners who prove their success have the opportunity to expand into additional territories to further scale their earnings.

Why This Works for Experienced Ad Sellers

  1. Short Sales Cycle: Most decisions happen in one or two conversations because the product is tangible and easy for business owners to understand. 
  2. No Backend Headaches: You aren’t managing accounts, running reports, or chasing invoices. 
  3. Built-in Leverage: As you establish your market, your effort shifts from heavy prospecting to light maintenance with more repeat business.
  4. Local relationship selling
  5. Clear product and pricing
  6. No fulfillment burden
  7. High earnings per completed Card (12-16 ads spots)
  8. Independence within a proven framework.
