ACN Direct Selling Home Business Opportunity Report – A Review of the Network Marketing Business
ACN, alleged to be the world’s largest direct selling telecommunications company operates in twenty countries in three continents. So if you are a marketing rep in US, Europe or Asia Pacific, you would have surely considered the prospect of earning 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 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.
· How do you earn in ACN?
As a rep in ACN, your payment is a percentage on your customer’s usage value depending on the level in which you’re placed. Since your income is a percentage on your client’s usage value, you keep earning till the client uses ACN’s products. So once you’ve closed a deal, your client just has to use the service you’ve sold to allow you to earn.. Sounds interesting? Rethink that!
· 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 to enable the company to survive amidst heavy competition.
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 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.
· What should you do now?
Don’t give up. You could still work in ACN and be successful.

Find a way to make your business visible to vast market and get them to approach you The secret to this is going online.Now, you’ll have customers contacting you instead of you going from person to person.
