All You Do is Sell
Village Vesl handles everything for the entrepreneur – technology development, launch, maintenance, feature enhancements, training and more. The entrepreneur focuses solely on the marketing of his/her service to small businesses for a monthly fee and residents in the community, who use the service for free.
App Installs Are Not a Hurdle
The service also comes fully loaded with SMS and messaging capabilities, and an automated video-creation platform, so entrepreneurs provide value to small businesses regardless of how many users have installed their application. Village Vesl is the only digital offering of its kind, with no direct competitors and tools that provide small business customers with the power of direct, one-to-one contact with interested consumers where they spend the majority of their time – on their mobile devices.
A Social Purpose
Village Vesl was created with a social purpose: to provide communities large and small a mobile service that enables residents, small businesses and the many groups and organizations that make up our towns and communities, the ability to stay connected in safe and exciting ways.
A Different Approach to Local
We are local, with local representatives living in the towns where they operate a Village Vesl service. These are our neighbors, they live in our communities, and they have a genuine interest in what goes on in the community.
The Ideal Candidate

Training and Support
We provide ongoing training and support in a variety of forms.
You will have three initial training sessions shortly after your agreement is finalized.

The initial training sessions can take place (1) in person, or (2) via web conference and video demo. In-person sessions are not mandatory. The initial training sessions can take anywhere from one to three hours each. We then conduct an ongoing Success Planning Program, in which all partners are invited to participate. You’ll also have regular access to a Village Vesl team member.
