ACN MLM Business Review

By Lawrence Tam

ACN, alleged to be the world's largest direct selling telecommunications company conducts business from twenty countries across three continents. So if you are a marketing rep in the United States, Europe or Asia Pacific, you would have surely come

First, let's glance at the background of the company and find out how profitable this venture's likely to be?

ACN Inc - What's it about?

This company was founded in Farmington Hills, Michigan by four businessmen, Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Mike Cupisz and Tony Cupisz 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,tha is by employing reps 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.

What is Residual income?

As a distributor for ACN, your commission is a percentage on your customer's usage value according to the level in which you're placed. 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? Think again!

Criticisms

If the income opportunity was really as lucrative as advertised, why should there be just a lukewarm response to this opening?

1. The payout offered is minimal. This is to enable the company to survive amidst heavy competition.

2. You'll have to make an investment of $499 to join.

3. Your residual income gets activated only when the client usage exceeds $10000

4. As a previous employee pointed out, you earn more in ACN by recruiting people than by selling products.

5. The company trains you to target your "warm market", that is, friends and relatives to do your business. In a few days, you'll find that this market is not warm anymore.

So where does this leave us?

Don't quit. These criticisms don't mean ACN Inc is a wasted venture.
