I decided to investigate an opportunity called ACN due to the number of scams running online, this is what I found out...

ACN is a direct seller of telecommunication services. The company provides services to customers and small businesses located in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe.

About the Company

ACN, Inc. is an MLM or multi-level marketing company based in Concord, North Carolina, United States. ACN started operations in America in 1993 as American Communications Network. It then grew operations in 1999 to Europe and in 2004, Asia-Pacific. Currently, operations are present in 20 countries. ACN is a part of the Direct Selling Associations in Europe and North America. ACN is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau in the United States.

The Product and Service

ACN offers services like videophones, digital phone service, mobile and high speed internet and fixed telephony. Landline telephone service, both long distance and local is offered. VoIP or voice over internet protocol, such as video phone service, satellite television, DSL internet, dial-up internet, home security services and wireless services are also provided to consumers and small businesses.

The Models

There are variations that depend on the country. There are 3 models followed by the services offered by ACN. The first model is the reselling of services branded by ACN that starts in an incumbent provider. It is focused via a long distance or local telephone, wherein ACN purchases local telephone service from a provider like AT&T then bills customers under its own name. The expansion of deregulation internationally triggered ACN to operate outside the United States.

The second model is done with ACN acting as a sales agent for the service provider. An ACN representative will sell the service, but servicing, billing and order accomplishment are all done by the provider. ACN will resell wireless plans from all big wireless providers and bigger home security providers. The third model is done by selling services branded and provided by ACN. These include videophone and voice over internet protocol wherein ACN will resell consumer tools made according to the specifications.

This seems to be a legit opportunity.

However, the MAJOR PROBLEM I see is the marketing plan. This company teaches its reps to prospect family & friends, do home parties, buy leads and distribute brochures.. I don't believe this to be a solid marketing plan. With the Internet, business can be leveraged to reach millions across the globe.
