subject: Acn Compensation Plan Revealed [print this page] It's time you learned all you need to know about the acn compensation plan.
It's only logical that if you're planning on building a long term business, you should know how the ACN is going to compensate you for your efforts.
One of the greatest tragedies in network marketing is the fact that people start a new business based on hype and what the top earners on the videos say they are making. Very few people really make an effort to understand exactly how the compensation plan works.
Please do not be guilty of doing that with the acn compensation plan.
You need to know about the 2 main pieces of the acn comp plan.
SHORT TERM
Customer acquisition bonuses, which are 1 time, up front bonus monies that are paid for recruiting new customers into ACN.
LONG TERM
This is where I like to focus. Residual income is what it's really all about. This is the cash you get over and over again for one time efforts.
So what do these to categories look like in a little more detail?
CUSTOMER ACQUISITION BONUSES
Let's take a look at the three different types of CAB's.
Personal
The personal acquisition bonus is basically paid when you help a new rep bring in x number of customers. This number is usually 6-8. It's really a leadership development bonus which means, you don't get the CAB for enrolling customers yourself but rather for helping people you personally sponsored enroll customers.
Open Line
Any time someone in your enrollment tree becomes a team trainer, you get this bonus.
A few things you need to be aware of here.
1) In order to be eligible to receive this bonus, you'll have to have 20 active customers yourself. You also must have helped 2 of them hit the first leadership level with ACN.
2) Any time someone below you reaches or passes your status, they will then collect the open line bonuses on everything below them and you wont get anything.
Some people feel that this causes some conflicting feelings in leaders. Some leaders may want to keep their team from being promoted in order to continue getting bonus money.
Definitely something to consider.
You can make some decent up front money with the ACN CABs if youre good at building leadership and helping people reach their goals quickly.
LONG TERM RESIDUAL INCOME
This is where the ACN comp plan really falls short.
Its really the long term income that entices us to be in network marketing. If we were only concerned about the up front money, wed get a sales job.
Forget having a sales job! I want residuals!
This is why we really want to pay close attention to the residual income portion of the acn compensation plan.
The acn compensation plan is composed of 2 different ways to make residual income.
PERSONAL RESIDUALS
My friend, youre going to have to work your butt off to make any serious money here.
Here's an example.
Depending on how much your personal customers are spending on ACN services each month, you'll get two to eight percent of those monthly bills.
It just doesn't amount to very much when you compare this percentage to what other companies are paying!
The sad truth is there just isn't much margin in these kinds of services. This means there's not a lot of room for paying out big residual commissions.
I ran across a company last week that pays almost $50 for every personally enrolled customer. $1 or $50? I'm gonna go with the higher commission myself.
TEAM RESIDUALS
It doesnt get any better with team residuals.
In the acn compensation plan, all your personal sponsors go right under you and theirs go right under them. This continues down for seven generations. This type of plan is known as a unilevel.
One of my friends makes $250,000 per month in a unilevel. To really make good money with these types of plans, you've got to have higher commission payouts though.
In ACN, you're looking at one quarter of 1 percent commission on the vast majority of your organization. Wow! That's just not very much money.
I dont think we even have to do the math to conclude that youll need an unbelievable amount of customers in order to make any substantial residual income based on quarter percentage payouts.
CONCLUSION
You can make big money with the acn compensation plan. There are some incredibly wealthy people in this company. I just don't think the average person is going to be able to recruit the numbers needed to make a substantial amount.
ACN is a good company with good products. They are the largest direct sales telecommunications company in the world and they do business in 20 countries.
ACN is definitely not a scam.
Recruiting thousands and thousands of people so you can make a good income will be hard to do for most ACN reps.
Now, all of this is really just my opinion.
There are lots of folks that have made great money with ACN. Howd they do it?
It all happened by finding and enrolling HUGE amounts of people.
This can happen for you.
With the leverage of the internet, the little guy can now market to the masses.
