ACN- Anyone ever heard of it?

I’m not involved in this program. My younger brother wants to start doing this and I was looking to find him some good info. I did a program like this in the late 90’s called EXCEL and made a decent amount of money. Is ACN the same thing?

If it's the ACN I know, it's Multi Level Marketing / Network Marketing. They use telecommunications products which is pretty solid compared to other MLM companies out there. As with all these setups though.. does take a lot of work. I have a mate that says his friend is currently making 5K a month from it.. so all the best!

As someone above mentioned, ACN is in fact a network marketing company offering telecommunications products.

ACN has a similar product to what Excel offered many years ago, however, Excel had many legal issues that lead to it's demise.

If your younger brother is looking at ACN, there are several companies offering a similar product but that offer far more generous pay plans for their independent marketing representatives.

Namely, one by the name of 5Linx (which was founded to integrity issues former members of ACN had with one another)and one by the name of Lightyear Alliance.

I know individuals in both of these companies and if you need any more information, I can put you in touch with them...just PM me!

Good luck to your brother in his search for a business opportunity!

Adam thanks for the great info. Why don't you give these people my e-mail address. My younger brother is a sharp salesmen but not all that through in his research. rogercbryan@gmail.com..... thanks again!

ACN is a multi-level marketing campaign offering a diverse of telecommunications products. Check them out on the internet and research before your younger brother invests to determine if this is the best option.

I know a few people who've been pretty successful with ACN. They all are great recruiters as ACN takes quite a few recruits that actually work the program to generate decent income. To say the least, their pay plan isn't that impressive with it's low monthly percentages and limited product line-up.

Excel was pretty much the same but have serious legal issues and the product offering s weren't very competitive.

Until recently the one of the only companies in the telecom market that didn't encourage agents to generate income through mostly recruitment was Cognigen which recently purchased and took on the brand of Commision River, Inc.

They offer all the same competitive services that Cognigen offered but eliminated the low-volume vendors. They also raised the commisions significantly while mainting their ability to offer competing services at discounted rates.

I'm not sure if your ACN has raised their commsions but last I checked them out I think they were offering from 6-14% residuals and some bonuses.

Someone told me that ACN works pretty good if you excel at networking and bringing people into you sales organization.

I personally prefer a system where my commisions are product driven and offers volume-based commisions.

Good luck with your research.
