ACN Inc, self proclaimed to be the world’s largest direct selling telecommunications company operates in twenty countries across three continents. So if you are a network marketer in the United States, Europe or Asia Pacific, you would have definitely considered the opportunity to earn money as a distributor of this company’s products.
Shall we first take a look at the history and working policies of ACN Inc and judge the feasibility of this job?
· ACN – A brief introduction
Four entrepreneurs, Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Mike Cupisz and Tony Cupisz founded this company in Farmington Hills, Michigan in 1993 to offer local and long distance telephones, internet, wireless, satellite TV with DirecTV and Home Security. The company adopts MLM system to sell their products,i.e, by hiring representatives to promote products and engage more reps. This company claims to be different from other MLMs by offering reps a residual income for the work done.
· How do you earn in ACN?
As a rep in ACN, your payment is a percentage on your customer’s usage value according to your level. You earn a residual income for your service, that is, you earn money for as long as the customer uses the product.. So once you’ve closed a deal, your client just has to use the service you’ve sold to allow you to earn.. Tempting? You might want to think about that again!
· Criticisms
Just think. If this prospect were really as good as claimed, wouldn’t the company be flooded with reps?
1. The commission is very low This is because the company cannot afford to pay more in an industry with such high rivalry.
2. You’ll have to make an investment of 499 bucks to join.
3. Though you get a commission based on your customer’s usage, it’s payable only when the minimum usage is 10000 bucks .
4. As a previous employee claimed, it’s more profitable to sign in new recruits to ACN than in making sales
5. ACN training consists of “warm marketing” which is your friends and family for the core of your business. In a few days, you’ll find that this market is not warm anymore.
· So where does this leave us?
Do not lose hope. These criticisms don’t mean ACN Inc is a wasted venture.
