ACN Inc opportunity is not a scam. This telecommunications company has been around since 1993 and is growing into a large global business spreading across 19 countries in the world. ACN meets all of the FTC regulations and is a strong player in the network marketing industry.ACN sets itself apart in the telecommunication industry with the new 21st century cutting edge technology of the videophone. The phone is equipped with a 7″ screen so it gives people the ability to converse live where you can actually see each other person while talking on the phone. This video phone has become a popular device that is not only used for personal use but also by professionals in various industries. ACN Inc. also offers local and long distance phone plans, and mobile services and Internet services.The business model for ACN communications is based on network marketing structure. Representatives are paid on a commission basis and the percentage earned grows as the representatives business grows. There are also many different bonus plans and the representative and customers actually save on their telecommunication services.The downside to this pay structure is that the representatives need to sign up a substantial amount of other representatives into the business as well as customers before they see any great return on their initial investment in the business. Also even though the representatives are marketing high quality products the telecommunication industry is very competitive.So the question now stands as to whether you should join ACN. Only you can decide the answer to that but you should be aware that the “get 3 who get 3″ by making a list of your family and friends is not as easy as they make it sound. Think about it would you actually start up a retail store and only tell your family and friends and truly expect your business to survive?On the other hand not to discourage anyone because this can be a very lucrative business but you really need to understand how to use the power of the Internet to market. The key is to position yourself as a leader and an expert in the industry and have 20,30 or even 50 people reaching out to you each and every day that already have a want, need or desire for the products, the services or the business.So basically the decision comes down to how much time and effort you want to put into this business. If you think you can be successful in ACN in any less time than 5-10 hours a week you are mistaken. Anything less than 5-10 hours a week you will be treating your ACN business like a hobby and hobbies cost money.Ask yourself this. Are you willing to step up and learn the power of the Internet to grow your business because the old traditional way of making a list of 200 people that you know will not work?So before you make that step into ACN or any other marketing business ask yourself if you are willing to learn what is takes to be successful in network marketing or not. If not I suggest that you save your money and find a business to run that you already have knowledge on how to be successful in that particular business.
