ACN or the American Communications Network has been acquiring quite much of attention lately, this could be part ascribable the aftermath from the last year's economy that has been making much of people to afterthought their idea of "a secure career" and start thinking about working at home as a solution. ACN also managed to get some great packaging through managing to get Donald Trump to endorse them (I wonder, will Trump continue endorsing ACN now that he has the Trump Network?)
However regardless of any packaging received, the question to ask is "Should I join ACN?"
OK lets look at his company in more detail
What they sell -
As the name suggests ACN is a communication possibility provider, so you will be promoting various phone and cyberspace contracts especially long distance service. As far as specific products the offer local, long distance, cyberspace, cell/mobile and others (check out there site for full details)
The company story -
ACN began life in 1993, started by Gref Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Mike Cupisz, and Tony Cupisz. They have posted strong growth since then, with business in twenty countries and claiming to produce $500 million in revenue annually (so far so good)
The money side -
Err... I tried to get my head around how the pay plan works, I stopped-up trying when my head started hurting, honestly.... (Check out their website and have a try yourself if you're game)
Up sides -
Strong baron ship and company story, an astonishingly pack of new network marketing companies fail during their early years in operation. ACN looks strong.
The bad -
Aside from the business side of ACN, I'm not seeing a huge incentive to buy the services they offer. As far as I can tell they lack a unique marketing point inside a powerfully contested market Plus there seems to be little incentive for determination customers compared to determination new reps for the business, this creates a whole list of problems that i will be expanding on other time. (A widespread problem in network marketing)
Summery -
To conclude no ACN isn't a scam, it's a very legal and very legitimate home based business and quite few people have had some real achiever in it.
The main matter you have to remember when looking ACN or any network marketing chance is that the business itself won't decide how achieverful you are, it's all about you, and your power to market and position yourself. It's all about being a leader, and learning marketing strategies. The "talking to family and friends" just isn't good on it's own anymore.
If your upline is trying to tell you that all it takes to build a achieverful and profitable business is talk to sextet people, RUN.
Without doubt you will need to have in place a solid marketing system, just like in any other form of business.
If you have skills at running home meeting, doing the referrals matter, setting up hotel events etc, then old school marketing techniques may work for you.
If you're like me and would rather work smarter than harder, then you need to be learning how to harness the cyberspace to market in conjunction with traditional MLM approaches, this is an essential skill set to have in any MLM business, if it's ACN or anymatter else.
Leveraging the online world to bring in leads, and turn those leads into customers and distributors isn't as difficult as you power think. You don't even need to be a nerd to do it:D. I wish you all the best in your achiever
