At the urging of my sister I joined as an ACN Independent Rep in 1995. With ACN people could save money over the dominant Big Three traditional telecomm carriers. However being curious, I Googled the competition and found another company offering similar savings on long distance, which also included a fair income opportunity, with no signup fee or recurring costs. I was busy working 12 hour days and weekends in a new career, and could not verify personally that the ACN service ws good, so I never even tried to market ACN. Later I did promote Cognigen because it is a known fact that 95% of people who start a business fail. At least I would know they did not lose money trying out the free Cognigen opportunity. The Cognigen commissions were quite a bit smaller than possible from ACN but with Cognigen there was no risk of losing money.

Founded in 1993 by four entrepreneurs, Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Mike Cupisz and Tony Cupisz, ACN has become one of the fastest growing companies in the world by offering two things. First, ACN offers consumers a better choice and greater value on the essential services they already use every day like local and long distance calling, internet, wireless services and satellite TV - plus leading edge services like digital phone service with video phones. Second, ACN offers individuals just like YOU one of the most remarkable income-generating opportunities available in the world today - a simple and proven way to bring more money into your household and more freedom into your life.

ACN’s annual revenues have skyrocketed to over half a billion dollars, with annual double-digit growth year after year, and today ACN reigns as the world’s largest direct selling telecommunications service provider. In fact, ACN is a global conglomerate providing telecommunications services to customers in 19 countries spanning North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

When evaluating any opportunity don’t forget to include the high costs of buying leads if that is the primary advertising method being touted. In addition there will likely be a high drop out rate as new members join and come to realize they cannot afford the time and money it costs to effectively manage leads. The older a lead gets the less valuable and as soon as someone else signs them up your investment in that lead is likely lost. Also it is well known that most leads are generated from offering people something for free and unscrupulous lead brokers on Google may sell and resell the same leads dozens of times.

Buying and Using Leads, if done incorrectly, can make the difference between losing money, breaking even, or earning a small profit. Over 95% of people who start a home based business will fail. The experience top five percent uually already have a giant list to market to, or teams of people in place who will follow into their new venture and bring teams along with them. Thus the Gurus on top can fill multiple levels deep in a matter of days or weeks, break records, and even create extra streams of income for themselves by selling leads to their new downline. This type of lead selling behavior should serve as a warning sign. If the upline truly wanted to help the downline they would offer leads free or at cost perhaps to anyone willing to work them.

ACN not only requires substantial customer acquisition but makes it clear that not all Independent Representatives make a profit and no one can be guaranteed success as an ACN Independent Representative. Success can only come through individual specific efforts in acquiring customers and recruiting other Independent Representatives who must also acquire customers. As with any legitimate business it takes some combination of money, resources, and consistent effort over time in order to succeed.

Success as an ACN Representative is not guaranteed, but rather influenced by an individual’s specific efforts. Not all ACN Independent Representatives make a profit. No one can be guaranteed success as an ACN Independent Representative. Controlling costs, including advertising, is one of the key elements of measuring potential of a business to reach profit.

Some MLM leaders still advocate making a list of 100 family, friends, and acquaintances or using the 3 foot rule to bug everyone you meet to join your opportunity! Others will tell you to buy postcards or use other expensive snail mail methods to advertise regularly. You and your team can easily spend hundreds, or even thousands of dollars on ACN Leads and never come close to recouping those costs.

Know what the top ACN distributors know but aren’t telling anyone! Have you ever wondered just how the top ACN distributors jump to the top so fast, while you work your tail off but never even come close to their results? You know, there are people in the network marketing business that started profiting big money in just a couple of months while there are others that work the business for years and never even come close to those results.
