What did the Andersons think of their NTV360 training?

Jon, Tonya, and Kelly Anderson describe the training as paced right — not too fast, not too slow — with dedicated trainers mentoring them through it and subject-matter experts backing up each part of the business.

What surprised the Andersons most about NTV360's marketing products?

They expected NTV360 to be mainly about the screens themselves, but found a staged system of digital marketing products — starting with a foundational stage before graduating clients to more advanced services.

What's the Andersons' long-term plan for their franchise?

Jon and Tonya are building toward multiple territories, with a plan to eventually hand day-to-day operations to their daughter Kelly.

Starting Strong: The Anderson Family's First Steps with NTV360

Jon, Tonya, and Kelly Anderson are a family team building an NTV360 franchise together — here's what training week in Colorado looked like for them (interviewed 2025).

Jon, Tonya, and Kelly Anderson bought an NTV360 franchise as a family and spent their first week of training in Colorado. Interviewed there in August 2025, they describe training that builds in stages rather than all at once, support staff who answer fast, and a model that covers more than indoor screens. The network they joined, NTV360 (formerly N-Compass TV), ranked No. 2,896 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 with 108% three-year growth (Inc. 5000, 2026). We met them on a crisp August morning in the parking lot of Red Rocks Amphitheater. This spot is a favorite place to welcome new NTV360 franchise owners who visit Colorado for training. As the family climbed the long steps to the top, laughter from Molly, our client services rep, echoed across the rocks.

After taking in the view, everyone settled in to talk about their first days of franchise training and what drew them to NTV360.

What made training feel manageable, not overwhelming?

Jon has spent much of his career inside Fortune 50 companies. Those companies often make big promises but fall short when it comes to delivery. He smiled as he compared that to NTV360.

“This has been an amazing journey already. You’ve under-promised and over-delivered at every turn. That’s rare.”

Tonya explained that the training moves step by step instead of all at once.

“It’s progressive. We start with a foundation and add on. It’s motivating instead of overwhelming.”

Kelly added her perspective.

“I like how friendly everybody is. It’s easy to learn and very comfortable. It’s not fast paced to the point where you miss things. It’s really nice.”

These insights show how the program provides structure without pressure, which helps new owners feel ready to launch.

People Make the Difference

Throughout the conversation the family returned to one theme: people. They praised the mentors, the specialists, and the staff who answer questions quickly.

Jon gave a special mention to Molly.

“Molly has been fantastic. She really helped us connect the dots. You can tell she loves what she does.”

That direct support left a strong impression.

“You talk straight, you follow through,” Jon said. “It makes you feel like you’re at home.”

Beyond Digital Screens

When the Andersons first heard about NTV360, they thought the franchise focused only on indoor screens. Training revealed a larger set of tools and services.

Jon highlighted one simple discovery.

“Google My Maps. I didn’t even know that tool existed. Now I can see how it will help us prospect and grow right away.”

Kelly pointed to the broader business model.

“It’s not about selling ads alone. It’s about helping businesses grow, stage by stage. That’s what excites us.”

Building a Family Business

For the Andersons this venture is more than a business plan. It is a family project with a long-term goal.

“I want more territories,” Tonya said.

Standing against the backdrop of Red Rocks, that vision felt solid and full of possibility.

A Culture That Feels Like Home

During their days of in-person training, the Andersons saw more than systems and processes. They experienced a culture built on honesty, support, and teamwork.

Tonya summed it up with a smile.

“It makes you feel like you’re at home.”

Hi, I'm Tonya. — Hi, I'm Kelly. — Hi, I'm Jon. And we're Local Leads Leaders.

Jon: This has been an absolutely amazing journey. Our first couple of months with NTV360 — you guys have under-promised and over-delivered at every turn. And I'm telling you, I've worked for a lot of major companies, Fortune 50 companies, and they make a lot of great promises, but at the end of the day, in terms of execution — dotting the i's and crossing the t's — in many cases they lack. Not so with NTV360.

The people are what make the difference. Every one of you has been an amazing trainer. You're mentoring us, bringing us along not too fast, not too slow — just at the right speed. Very impressive. Well done. Keep up the good work.

Kelly: I really like how friendly everybody is. It's very easy to learn.

Jon: You talk straight and you follow through. That has been our experience, and that's rare in today's business environment. When my wife and I first heard about this idea, we thought NTV360 was all about the flat-screen TVs everywhere — and that was a very impressive marketing notion for me. But as I got deeper into the training, NTV has all these incredible digital marketing products — inbound, push and pull products — stage one, stage two, stage three. Stage one is where we build the foundation. Once that foundation gets up and running for a given client, we can help graduate them to stage two and stage three and so on. That was my biggest takeaway.

Tonya: I thought it was everything at once — you see everything that's available, and I thought we'd do all these things at the same time. But it's really not set up that way. It's a progressive step, and like Jon was talking about: set your foundation up, and then everything builds on that. Everything was chunked out so it wasn't too overwhelming.

Jon: And I'll tell you what else I was really impressed with. You have SMEs — subject matter experts — in each silo. It doesn't look like the entire team at NTV360 is trying to do everything for every client. As we build our business, we know we'll have a great team member within that department who truly specializes in that one digital product, so we can make sure we're executing at every step along the way.

The people clearly are different at NTV360. You talk the talk, but you walk the walk. Absolutely every individual we've come in contact with has been so extremely friendly and nice — and we know you just can't fake that. You might be able to fake it for a week or two, like some companies do, but this has to start at the top. Your chairman and CEO, Don Winfrey — every one of you is like a little mini-me of Don Winfrey. It's incredible to see how people-oriented you all are. It's one thing to have the technical gifts you all have, and another to manage a business — but the people side of what we're experiencing has absolutely been second to none.

Tonya: My long-term goal is to put in more territories. I want more territories, but I also want to set it up so we have someone running it for us under Kelly's management. This is ultimately going to her — it'll be her business, and we want to help her get it set up and build a lot of momentum.

Jon: We really feel like we're working for Kelly already. You can only go so far when you don't have a team that supports you. When you don't have that, you pull back a little — you're not as engaged. That's why we have so many praises: whoever we call, whatever we ask, it's "right there, let me get that for you." It just makes you feel like you're at home.
