ACN Marketing in 3 Simple Steps

ACN Marketing Made Easy!

If you have been with ACN for any amount of time you have probably discovered that this business is all about NUMBERS!  This is the case for most network marketing companies, but particularly ACN.

As the telecoms industry is so competitive ACN has to keep their prices low to ensure they can compete.  This means profit margins are low, which means to be a success you need to have a HUGE organization.

It sounds tough, but can actually be incredibly easy if you simply follow a strong ACN marketing plan! People don’t reach success by accident!  They get there through systematically following a good plan.

3 Components of Your ACN Marketing Plan

1. What You Are Marketing?

A good ACN marketing plan has to start with how you plan to get people to look at your business.  The strongest way to generate leads in today’s market is to market yourself, not the company.  If you use company sites and try to entice people in by talking about how great the company is, you will fail.  How many get rich ads have you seen online??  How many people have you seen pitching a company??  Loads, and at this point NO ONE pays attention anymore.

You also have to remember ACN is not a young company, it is not the next big thing.  It’s a solid company, but you need people to have another reason to want to join.

That reason has to be YOU!  You need to demonstrate to them how you will assist them in making money from home.  You do this by delivering high quality training upfront and then allow people to ask you what your company is.  If you do it right, they will want to work with you and only will need to find out what ACN is and how to join.

This process is called Attraction Marketing. (If you don’t understand how it works, click the highlighted link for an indepth article on the 5 steps of attraction marketing.)

2.  How Are You Marketing?

Is your current ACN marketing plan still talking to friends and family?  Are you using the “spray and pray” method (i.e. putting up random ads everywhere you can hoping to get people in)?  You need to use a systematic approach to generate your leads so you can focus your efforts on doing things that actually bring you leads and sales, not wasting time worrying about what to do.

Success will come with consistent and persistent action, but you need to make sure you have chosen the right actions to begin with!

Not everyone’s situation is the same, so how you choose to do your ACN marketing will be specific to you.

If you are on a tight budget I recommend using techniques that generate leads for free.  This could be content marketing, social media marketing, etc.  If you have a little more money but less free time you might want to learn paid advertising techniques.

The important thing here is to learn everything you can about how to successfully execute your chosen ACN marketing technique so you don’t waste time and money on the learning curve.

3. Execute Your ACN Marketing Plan

Once you’ve picked your ACN marketing technique and learned how to do it properly you simply need to do it consistently and persistently for at least 3 months.  I mean working your ACN marketing plan EVERY day!  Let’s be honest, the difference between the successful people and the failures is simply how much time and effort they put into their business!

Make sure you don’t fall into the old habit of scattershot ACN marketing.  You have picked your marketing technique logically, based on your circumstances, so you need to focus on that technique for at the very least 3 months until you are an absolute expert at it and can generate leads no problem!  Nothing slows people down more than constantly jumping on every new marketing technique they come across.

You can absolutely become a success with ACN, but the nature of the business means you have to be recruiting new associates constantly and you have to give it time to build a large organization.

These 3 simple steps may seem harder to you than they are.  You are being introduced to new techniques and concepts that have so far not been part of your ACN marketing plan.

A simple way to get started with this plan is to follow the free 8 day MLM lead generation bootcamp.  It primarily focuses on the free ways to advertise, but also will take you through setting up websites to market yourself instead of the company, and will show you several simple techniques to then drive people to your website.  You just have to fill in your name and email at the side of this page.

The main thing is, this won’t start working until you do.

Create your ACN marketing plan and start becoming an ACN success story today!

ACN Reviews- The Truth Your Rep Won’t Tell You

Real ACN Reviews are NOT written by ACN reps.

By only reading ACN reviews from unbiased sources (such as this one) you will be able to get a clear picture of the company, the products, as well as some of the negatives of joining this company.

The following are some ACN reviews of different aspects of the company that will help you decide if it is right for you.

ACN Reviews – The Company

ACN was founded in 1993 and started out in the long-distance phone product market.  Nowadays they are in 20 countries across 3 continents and have greatly expanded their product offering.  They use a network marketing model to promote their services (i.e. get independent associates to both sell the services and to recruit other independent associates).

Any company that has been around longer than about 3 years in this business is doing something right.  This means they have a large enough customer base to be competitive in the industry and that people are making money with the business (because when people don’t make money they leave and the business can’t be sustained.

The company also benefits from the endorsement of Donald Trump.  It’s rumored that Trump wanted to buy ACN years ago but the founding members turned him down.  Trump has since gone on to start his own network marketing company, The Trump Network.  We have to assume that he is paid a hefty chunk to endorse ACN, however it’s doubtful he would risk his reputation if he wasn’t confident that the company had good leadership and products.

ACN reviews could not be complete however without pointing out that the company has had it’s share of scrutiny.  Both in Canada and Australia they have fought claims of being a pyramid scheme.  They came out on top both times, which means that they are legally compliant.

ACN Reviews – The Products

ACN primarily now focuses on it’s video phone services, they offer an array of other telecom services as well.  This includes digital phone, cell phone and long distance services, satellite tv, home security, etc.  They mostly use other companies networks and act as a reseller.  This makes it impossible to judge if their products are better than the competition, because they are pretty much the same as the competition!

ACN has been appealing to network marketers because their products are things people already use.  You don’t have to convince anyone to start using them, just to change over.  The two downsides of the products are to be competitive they naturally have to have low profit margins, which means it takes time to build up an income, and you also often have customers that are willing to change but have pre-existing contracts with other providers.  You definitely don’t want to be following up with your leads in 6 mths to a year!

ACN Reviews – The Opportunity

ACN uses a typical network marketing model where you are paid commissions seven levels deep on both purchases from your customers and the customers of the reps you enroll in the opportunity.  The downside of this opportunity is that the nature of the telecoms industry means that profit margins are tiny.  You can expect that you will make money, but only if you work hard at it and build a huge organization.  The money is really going to come in by focusing more on building a team of leaders who are getting customers as well so you can leverage your efforts and build a large organization fast.  Don’t expect to make big bucks solely on convincing your friends and family to switch their services to ACN.

ACN has received a lot of bad press over the years from people who expected to make a lot of money fast, and were disappointed with small checks!  If you do decide to join you need to realistically expect it to take at least 6 months of hard work to build a decent income.  But if you aren’t prepared to put in hard work, you’re not likely to be successful at any home business!

ACN Reviews – The Truth

It comes down to this, don’t join ACN if you want to simply tell a few people about it and make a huge income.  It’s not going to happen!  However, this out-dated technique is what many ACN reps are still suggesting to their new recruits!

What you need is to learn how to actually be a success in network marketing.  You need to get specific and create a marketing plan for your next 3 to 6 months of how you will recruit others and get them working for you.  The best way to both learn the specific up-to-date techniques and get all the tools you will need to succeed in ACN or any home business is to use a proven system like Empower Network.

ACN does not take advantage of todays online trends! Learn how to use up-to-date methods to grow ACN (or any network marketing business) online using just these three “Weird” Marketing tricks.
