ACN Pyramid Debunked - Lead Generation System is the Key

What the heck is ACN, and why would I want to get involved? Isn't it one of those "Pyramids?" No, in fact it is not. ACN, American Telecommunications Network, is the largest direct selling telecommunications company in the world with a presence in 20 different countries in Europe, Asia, and North America. What ACN does offer is satellite TV, high-speed internet, long distance, wireless service, as well as its revolutionary new video phone service. ACN also offers a lucrative business opportunity to its customers if they have a good lead generation system.In short, it offers its customers the opportunity to make money and build a business by selling ACN's service to their neighbors and family and recruiting a few of them to do the same. In theory this is a great concept. Who doesn't need those services and who wouldn't want to make some extra money?Here is where the problem rears its ugly head. With out some type of lead generation system what does the new ACN rep do when they have gone through their entire warm list of friends, family, and acquaintances? First, by that point they are very familiar with some rejection and its probably starting to eat away at them. One would be surprised how many people do not want to save money and make some at the same time! They also may have had some initial success and have a small fledgling team starting to take form. When the warm market runs dry if the ACN rep does not have the skills or a lead generation system to generate a constant steady supply of leads and keep their current distributors, then their business, sadly, will soon die. Many times a piece of them dies along with it.It is this hurt and rejection, along with the structure of the organization, that leads the disappointed distributor to call it a pyramid and move on, licking their wounds along the way. ACN is not a pyramid scheme. Pyramids are illegal in the United States and most parts of Europe and Asia. It would be a little difficult for it to operate in 20 different countries worldwide if it was an illegal organization.ACN is part of the direct selling multi level marketing industry. Since this industry is a good starting place for a budding entrepreneur it is fraught with a high failure rate the first time around. Success in business takes time and experience, along with a good business head. Many times the folks that get started have never run or owned a business before and do not know how to be profitable. Once they run out of friends and family they just simply are not equipped to go farther.It doesn't have to be that way! Daily, thousands of people make good money in ACN and other network marketing opportunities around the world. These are ordinary folks that took the time to learn the business and run it as such. They key is, these successful entrepreneurs invested in themselves and took the time and yes the money to learn what it is they need to know about the business that their up-line was just not equipped to teach them. These folks generate leads constantly and effortlessly sponsor people into their business.If you are considering joining ACN, first make sure that you have a lead generation system in place capable of generating large amount of leads every month. Take some time to learn about marketing and basic business principles. Finally, research a few other companies and make sure ACN is the right match for you. If you are currently an ACN distributor, stick with it! At least until you learn how to build a large self sustaining organization. If you are committed to learning how to build a large, profitable ACN business, and you have a reliable lead generation system you can have massive success just like so many entrepreneurs before you.
