ACN Business Review: Is it A Scam?

by Joe Marquez

If you are reading this article, I’m betting that you are researching ACN after seeing their business presentation at a hotel meeting or a friend’s house. You probably heard them promote their video phone and show off their products then proceed to tell you how a onetime investment of $499 can start you off to earning some serious income. I wouldn’t be surprised if after the presentation you were more confused than ever but you liked what you heard. So to help put it all together and help you understand exactly what ACN is, I’d like to give you an unbiased review of ACN and help you understand their products and their pay structure.

Let’s start at the beginning. ACN is a global telecommunications company that started 15 years ago in Detroit. They offer several different products that include home phone service, cell phone service, satellite tv, digital phone service, and the mother of all their products: the VIDEO PHONE.

ACN compensates its representatives in three different ways: personal residual income, overriding residual income, and bonuses. Representatives earn a “personal” residual income from the total billing of customers that they PERSONALLY REFER. You can make “up to 10%” but that is only if the monthly billing from your customers reaches $10,000 a month. For the most part, the personal residual income is so small that it is completely ignored.

Overriding residual income is much more substantial than personal residual income. It comes from the customer base of individuals who have joined ACN and are on your team. When you refer friends or family to ACN and they join, a percentage of the customer billing they create is considered your “overriding residual income.” However, the amount of money that you receive is dependent on a number of factors.

Lastly, the BIG source of income that representatives see immediately is the team customer acquisition bonuses, otherwise known as TCAB’S. Basically, these are bonuses you receive for recruiting others into the ACN business. The way that they pay out these bonuses is very elaborate and there are many variables and rules involved. But the bottom line is when either you or a representative in your team recruits a new person, they count towards your bonus and depending on how many representatives are recruited into your team in a given month, a particular bonus is paid. So you get paid when you acquire customers and when people are recruited into your organization. It’s that simple.

But the question that most people want answered is if this works? Is it legal? What’ the catch? And so on and so on. ACN has been in business for 15 years now and they conduct their operations in 20 different countries. There is no question that they are not operating legally and that they are not a scam, especially with a Donald Trump endorsement. Not only that, but even thought you aren’t guaranteed to make lots of money, there certainly individuals who have. Individual results will vary, but you need to remember that in an industry like direct marketing, with ACN or any other company there is a 97% failure rate. That’s just how things are with these types of opportunities.

So the question isn’t whether ACN works, but rather if it is the BEST way to invest $499 and become financially free. Not necessarily. ACN’s model for building a business is VERY old school. You only have so many friends and acquaintances and I can GUARANTEE that the top earners in the company go far and beyond their circle of friends to recruit people into the business. Some representatives do advertisement in classifieds, signs on the road, ads in the internet, and more. You’ll even find some of them go out into highly public areas and just talk to strangers. More than likely, you are NOT going to make your millions by simply talking to your friends. Eventually you will HAVE to branch out and for most people that is an uncomfortable thought.

With the power of the internet, you can build an equally profitable business SIMILAR to ACN but do it in a MUCH faster time span. I’d like to talk to you about an opportunity known as the Wealth Funnel System. Its creator, Derrick Harper, has been making money on the internet for over 13 years. He has worked with very popular companies like MTV, CMT, Pfizer, Weber Grills, Johnson and Johnson, and more. There is no doubt that he knows what he is doing. He has made millions online and he has put together the Wealth Funnel System to teach individuals the fundamentals and basics of making money on the internet. Not only that, but it is one of the very FEW online opportunities that guarantees your success with a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

It may or may not be as good as ACN but that’s honestly for you to decide. Either way, I hope this information has been helpful.

Wishing you the best success, Joe Marquez
