So is ACN a solid company and can their compensation plan hold up against some
of the other network marketing companies out there?
We'll get to that but first lets go over some of the details.
ACN's business model is based off providing services rather than the typical
products that most network marketing companies offer. These services include
literally any telecommunications product/service you can think of, from almost
all major service providers you can think of. All the big names in this
industry have partnered with ACN which is pretty incredible.
ACN's compensation plan is slightly more complicated than the average MLM
company, but nonetheless it is effective and powerful. Its made up of a
balanced combination of team bonuses and residual.
The team customer acquisition bonuses (tcabs) are in place to compensate reps
for building their teams while they are building that coveted residual income.
There are 5 different promotion levels with increasing bonuses as each level
is attained. Reps earn bonuses monthly UP TO $3,000(ETT)/$7,000(ETL)/$25,000(TC)
/$44,000(RVP)/$44,000+(SVP). Keep in mind that to max those bonuses out your
team needs to be growing at a phenomenal rate. Nonetheless you can make a ton
of extra money from steady team growth.
How the bonuses work...
As your team grows you get a portion of the allocated bonus based on the number
of new reps who sign up AND get qualified within 30 days. Being qualified
simply means getting the minimum number of customers (3 services accomplishes
this).
One downside to the bonuses...
You can only earn bonuses down to the next person in your organization that is
at your promotion level. For example, if you are a TC, you earn bonuses
based on the new reps added to your organization down to the next TC. So if you
are a TC and you have one TC in your organization, you are cut off from earning
bonuses from their organization UNTIL you reach RVP, then the bonuses turn
back on. Once they reach RVP you're cut off again until you reach SVP.
You may look at that and think "well that sucks" and it kind of does, but its
really designed like that to promote growth. You want more bonuses? Outperform
everyone in your organization.
As for the residual portion of ACN's compensation plan, the structure is well
designed. Each rep gets paid with a percentage of each of their customers'
bills, and that percentage is largest where your team is the largest.
So, for ETT/ETL/TC you get paid through your 7th level. Percentages at each
level are as follows...1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, 3, 5, 8. So you can see they pay
you the most where your organization will be largest. As an RVP or SVP you
get the same pay structure, but you also get an additional 1-2% on every level
below your 7th level. That's when those numbers on the menu of your favorite
restaurant magically disappear.
The only part I don't like about this is that when you are an RVP/SVP and
you have another RVP/SVP under you, that extra 1-2% on levels 8-infinity is
limited to the 7th level of the next RVP/SVP below you. For example, you are
an RVP and you pop another RVP in your organization, you will earn residual
down to the 7th level of that RVP and nothing below. Anywhere else in your
organization outside of that RVP, you still earn the extra 1-2% on levels
8-infinity.
Overall I think ACN's compensation plan is really powerful and has the
potential to generate a lot of residual income IF you apply yourself and
work the business.
I hope this ACN review was beneficial and informative, and it helps you make
an informed decision if you are thinking of becoming a rep.
