    I've been in business for more than 45 years. And if you're young, there's something I wish someone had given me: A place to learn by actually doing it. That's what I'm building at New Tech Advertising. I'm looking for curious, entrepreneurial minds. You don't need years of experience. I'll bring the systems, the AI tools, and the experience. Learn how to ask a good question. Listen. Bring back what you learn. We'll handle the rest. You'll learn AI and business by working directly with real business owners. Don't rush to apply. Look around NTA first. Watch some videos, see what we're building. If it makes sense to you—then let's talk. Visit newtechadvertising.com today. New Tech Advertising. Learn. Earn. Build. Let's grow together.

Start with what you already know how to do. NTA supplies the research, AI tools, Gap Audits, follow-up support, and Rick’s 45+ years of business experience. You’re not selling — you’re educating.

Don’t rush to apply. Look around NTA first. If it makes sense to you, then let’s talk.

Explore NTA first

The Digital Growth Office behind you

You develop the relationship. We work on the next step together.

Research and preparation

Prospect research, a connected prospecting system, Gap Audits, and talking points help you begin with useful context.

Learning while you work

AI, marketing knowledge, lessons, the Growth Show, and Your Digital Growth Guide™ help with the question in front of you. With the business owner’s permission, AI can organize the important points from a conversation and help prepare the next step.

Follow-through and implementation

Email assistance, follow-up tools, printable leave-behind material, and NTA’s implementation capabilities support the relationship.

Ask a good question. Listen. Bring back what you learn. NTA works with the way people want to work—whether that means listening and taking notes, bringing back their own summary, or recording a conversation with clear permission. If recording is not comfortable, you do not need to record.

With your approval, AI can help organize what was said, keep track of the important points, prepare useful follow-up, and begin shaping the Growth Roadmap. The goal is to help people work better and smarter—not force them to change how they work.

The Digital Growth Office connects people as well as technology.

Owners and employees already know an enormous amount about customers, everyday problems, opportunities, and how the work really gets done. NTA can create simple ways to capture that knowledge through conversations, short recordings, questions, documents, and observations without turning participation into another complicated job.

People provide the knowledge. AI helps the business remember, organize, and use it. People continue making the decisions.

That is team building, shared business knowledge, and continuous improvement—not employee surveillance and not AI making management decisions.

Choose the ways you naturally connect.

Phone. Email. Face-to-face. Networking. Social. A combination. There is no one required NTA approach.

In fact, you're not selling at all. You're helping business owners understand practical ways they can use AI to help their business grow.

Phone
Email
Face-to-face
Networking
Social
A combination

The work centers on relationship development and business discovery. Listening, useful questions, and an agreed next step guide the conversation.

A guided start. Learning that continues.

Curiosity leads to understanding the opportunity, seeing the support, and exploring NTA. Then tell us about yourself, meet Rick, and begin guided onboarding toward your first supported prospects.

This is a practical progression we work through together. There is no large training course to complete before beginning.

Curiosity and relationships can come from any stage of life.

Whether you are beginning your working life, studying business, marketing or communications, building a business, serving customers, managing accounts, working in media or advertising, changing careers, or retired or semi-retired, your experience can give you a place to begin.

Do I need to master AI or the NTA system first?

Start with what you already know how to do. NTA supports you with the rest. You learn the tools as you use them on real business questions.

Is there one required way to develop relationships?

No. Phone, email, face-to-face, networking, social, and combinations of methods can all fit. We choose a practical starting point together.

Who is this for?

People at different stages of life: AI-curious younger adults, entrepreneurs, business, marketing and communications students, customer-service people, account managers, experienced media and advertising representatives, relationship salespeople, career changers, and retired or semi-retired relationship builders.

How does earning work?

This is a commission-based opportunity. Upfront and ongoing compensation are covered by a written agreement with NTA before you begin client work. Rick will explain the terms with you; earnings depend on the business developed and are not guaranteed.

Is there a large course to finish before I begin?

No. You explore NTA, talk with Rick, work a sample prospect together, and learn through supported work. The resources stay available when you need them.
