If you’re reading this, I’m willing to bet you either went to a friend’s house or maybe a hotel conference room and witnessed ACN’s business overview. You saw them explain the future of their video phone, all the money that can be made and how the one time investment of $499 could make a world of change for you. Well, I’m sure a lot of the information went over your head. So to help clarify things I’d like to briefly review their compensation plan and their products ONE more time and give you an unbiased analysis of the ACN business.

Let’s start at the beginning. ACN is a global telecommunications company that started 15 years ago in Detroit. They offer several different products that include home phone service, cell phone service, satellite tv, digital phone service, and the mother of all their products: the VIDEO PHONE.

Representatives earn money in three different ways: personal residual income, overriding residual income, and bonuses. Personal residual income is earned when representatives receive a percentage of their customer’s billing. But they must be customers that were personally referred by the representative. ACN says that you can earn “up to 10%”of the total customer base, but they neglect to inform you that you only earn that amount if your customer’s are spending a minimum of $10,000. Essentially, the personal residual income typically amounts to less than $50 a month so it is hardly worth mentioning.

The second type of residual income, overriding, is the same as personal residual income but with a twist. When you refer your friends and family to the business and they join, when THEY acquire customers themselves you TOO collect a percentage of those customers bills. However, the percentage that you receive is dependent on what level that representative falls on. Rather than get very detailed, you can visit this website for a detailed description of their full compensation plan: https://myacn.acninc.com/MyACN/ShowDoc?DocName=docs/us/en/301.pdf

Finally, the most important source of income for ACN representatives: team customer acquisition bonuses, otherwise known as TCAB’s. These are bonuses that are received when your organization grows. The amounts of these bonuses vary heavily since it is dependent on a number of factors. Put simply, when you or someone on your team signs up a new representative it counts towards your bonus for that given month. Depending on how many new sign ups occurred in a month for your organization, a certain bonus is paid. You basically get paid when you recruit new individuals into your business and when you acquire customers.

But the question that most people want answered is if this works? Is it legal? What’ the catch? And so on and so on. ACN has been in business for 15 years now and they conduct their operations in 20 different countries. There is no question that they are not operating legally and that they are not a scam, especially with a Donald Trump endorsement. Not only that, but even thought you aren’t guaranteed to make lots of money, there certainly individuals who have. Individual results will vary, but you need to remember that in an industry like direct marketing, with ACN or any other company there is a 97% failure rate. That’s just how things are with these types of opportunities.

So the question isn’t whether ACN works, but rather if it is the BEST way to invest $499 and become financially free. Not necessarily. ACN’s model for building a business is VERY old school. You only have so many friends and acquaintances and I can GUARANTEE that the top earners in the company go far and beyond their circle of friends to recruit people into the business. Some representatives do advertisement in classifieds, signs on the road, ads in the internet, and more. You’ll even find some of them go out into highly public areas and just talk to strangers. More than likely, you are NOT going to make your millions by simply talking to your friends. Eventually you will HAVE to branch out and for most people that is an uncomfortable thought.

With the power of the internet, you can build an equally profitable business SIMILAR to ACN but do it in a MUCH faster time span. I’d like to talk to you about an opportunity known as the Wealth Funnel System. Its creator, Derrick Harper, has been making money on the internet for over 13 years. He has worked with very popular companies like MTV, CMT, Pfizer, Weber Grills, Johnson and Johnson, and more. There is no doubt that he knows what he is doing. He has made millions online and he has put together the Wealth Funnel System to teach individuals the fundamentals and basics of making money on the internet. Not only that, but it is one of the very FEW online opportunities that guarantees your success with a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

It may or may not be as good as ACN but that’s honestly for you to decide. Either way, I hope this information has been helpful.

Wishing you the best success, Joe Marquez
