subject: ACN Complaints- The Primary Source [print this page] ACN is a direct marketing company offering telecommunications services. They have Donald Trump as a voice and therefore they tend to attract a great deal of notice with the media. Most recently, they are featuring a video phone which is a land-line type telephone with a video monitor. Users can view the person they are talking to in the course of the dialogue. It does call for a high-speed internet connection such as cable or DSL and both callers need to have the phone system in order for them to see each other. It is available in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico at this time and they do expect a two-year service contract. The phone service features free long distance and no per-minute fees. It also includes features of customary phone service such as call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding, and 3-way calling.
ACN sales reps earn revenue by selling the phone unit and service as well by recruiting new consultants into their own downline. One of their major premises is that by offering people a less expensive option on services that they now use every day, they generate savings and convenience for the consumer and a home business model for their distributor force. This is a assumption that has been proclaimed by hundreds of network marketing organizations in the past with a huge variety of distinctive products. ACN complaints are similar to the complaints that are voiced by any person who has tried and failed at a network marketing venture. It is not uncommon to hear complaints about the inability to earn money and the inability to recruit new representatives. In fact, the most frequent ACN complaint (and the most common complaint in any network marketing company) is the extremely high failure rate, estimated by experts in the industry to be as high as 98%.
For the most part, the attrition rate in this business is primarily due to the reality that individuals are signing up to develop a network marketing business when they really have no marketing experience. Then when they run out of friends and relatives to talk to, they are really out of business with no supply of leads or prospects. Since true marketing techniques are rarely taught in this type of organization, the result is high mortality among the troops.
There are, however, ways of reducing the failure rate, but they require a pattern shift from the "old school" of network marketing. They also require some education and training. By learning how to use PPC (pay-per-clicks), writing articles, press-releases, landing pages, social media, and banner ads you can change your ACN business virtually overnight. But as I say, it will require some training and education.
The best way to eliminate the ACN complaints is for ACN distributors to learn how to produce leads over the internet. After all, when you buy leads (as many MLM'ers do) where do you think these leads originate? On the internet! Learn how to produce these leads with the methods mentioned above, and you can assemble a massive ACN network or any other MLM or traditional business.
Perhaps it is time to start treating your MLM like a true business and get the information that is necessary for success. Put a method in place that can help you grow your ACN business.
