ACN Inc, self proclaimed to be the world’s largest direct selling telecommunications company has operations in twenty countries in three continents. So if you are a marketing rep in US, Europe or Asia Pacific, you would have definitely come across the prospect of earning as a rep for 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
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,i.e, by hiring representatives to market products and sign up more distributors. 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 distributor for ACN, your payment is a percentage on your client’s service worth depending on 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
Just think. If this prospect were really as good as claimed, wouldn’t the company be flooded with reps?
1. The payout offered is minimal. This is because the company cannot afford to pay more in an industry with such high rivalry.
2. Starting your business will put you back $499 to begin
3. Your residual income gets activated only when the client usage exceeds $10000
4. As a previous employee claimed, you earn more in ACN by recruiting people than by selling products.
5. ACN marketing training emphasizes “warm market” which is your friends and family for your leads. Soon, you’ll start getting cold stares from your warm market
· What should you do now?
Do not give up. These criticisms don’t mean ACN Inc is a wasted venture.
