subject: Acn Compensation Plan Analyzed [print this page] All right my friendAll right my friend. Im going to break down the acn compensation plan so you can understand it.
If you are going to invest, time, effort and money into building a long term business with ACN, its vital to understand how youre going to be paid.
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.
There are really 2 categories of income with ACN.
SHORT TERM
Customer acquisition bonuses, which are 1 time, up front bonus monies that are paid for recruiting new customers into ACN.
LONG TERM
Long term income with ACN is the monthly residual income that is paid for recurring customer billing. If your customer stays for life, you will have an income that comes in each and every month for work you did once.
So lets take a look at each of these bonuses and see how they measure in actual dollars and sense.
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.
In my opinion, this can have somewhat of a negative effect as leaders might want to keep members on their team from advancing so they can continue to collect the open line bonuses.
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
In my opinion this is where you really want to watch out my friend.
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.
I dont think you want to be in sales, do you?
It's for this reason that you'll need to really examine 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.
ACN pays anywhere from 2% 8% of your customers total monthly bills. The percentage you get on your personal customers is based on the total dollar amount spent on acn services by your personal customers.
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 know of one company that pays a $47 monthly residual on each customer you refer. Would you rather make $47 or $1? The choice is pretty clear.
TEAM RESIDUALS
It's the same sad scenarios with your group commissions.
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.
These can be very lucrative if the commissions are high.
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.
Simple logic tells you that to make big money with this type of a comp play you'll have to have some massive duplication happening in your team.
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.
Its just going to be hard to make a lot of residual income with this company because the payouts are so low.
I could be wrong but I think I make some good points, don't you?
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.
The internet makes it easier than ever to find, connect with and recruit large numbers of people for your business.
