MLM
would concern even the most prudent of researchers prior to considering joining such a opportunity. I'll be pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of doing an ACN Business, and hopefully see if American Communication Network is a good fit for you.
ACN is a network marketing MLM business that provides its consumers with a variety of products and services, from low cost long and local phone services, the latest in video phones,high speed internet, satellite TV and Dish, plus home security with ADT. They have a reputation as a well defined MLM company claiming to be the largest in direct sales of communication services and products.
The opportunity of creating a income has people lining up taking a serious look into this MLM, but lets take a moment to define both the strengths and weakness, and see if ACN a MLM business-opportunity for you?
ACN- Strengths
ACN has been around since 1993 and still going strong, its leadership is guided by Robert Stevanovski, Mike and Tony Cupisz and Greg Provenzano a well seasoned team. Operating in over 20 countries spanning the globe with over a thousand employees to look after the needs of its independent business representatives with annual revenues of $500 million in sales and double digit growth claims yearly. Included in the mix a well know celebrity Donald Trump endorsing ACN publicly giving there street credit a real boost. Its products and services are used everyday by mainstream public- a variety of internet services, low cost telecommunication services, video and digital phones including home security and satellite TV plus Dish in most locations. Not a bad start.
ACN- Weakness
The reality is that ACN has the look outwardly of being a good opportunity however I seriously doubt that you'll find Donald Trump starting a ACN business of his own. Making the top positions will take considerable time and effort to achieve RVP or SVP sales, its more than knowing 3 that know 3 who get 3 and so forth.
The practicality of growing a ACN business successfully is that a independent business representative will simply go out and find a few people who are already using similar like product or services, and convince them to switch over for the income making side of things, opportunity.
One issue that will arise out of the gate early on is positioning.
ACN- The Reality
Like many of the other MLM's companies, ACN instructs their distributors to go after their friends and family first. Leveraging their relationships "warm market" approach them by presenting the opportunity of creating vast wealth using the same "system". The credibility issue that arises is initially the distributor is not making any money and so the distributor chases their upline who is making money and he or she now is positioned as a subordinate to someone else.
Now growing a successful business with ACN can prove to be a great opportunity in the long run. They have a great lineup of products and services but many people have pursued the opportunity and have not generated enough to write about. Then there are others who have created millions of dollars for themselves selling terrible products like the chia pet, pet rock or slinky. The significant difference individual and their ability to target their market successfully.
In Conclusion:
Growing a ACN business can be profitable if you know how to leverage the telephone, internet and other marketing tools effectively. It can be a great opportunity but success will be determined by your personal skill-sets as a marketer. This is not something that you can buy into and watch grow over time, it will require steadfast determination and effort on your part.
So if growing your ACN business is important and you don't know where to start, my suggestion is to gain the knowledge necessary to insure your success or simply look at it as a way of saving some money on the products and services you already use.
