ACN Video Phone - High Tech But Marketing Training is Low Tech
ACN opened in 1993 and has developed into the planet's biggest direct selling telecom company.
Their product line ranges from video phone and wireless service long distance and home security.
They are mostly known for the ACN video phone which can connect people across the globe through video and voice.
ACN has hopped on on the MLM bus.
They depend on the MLM business model to promote and sell their products.
Basically their approach is to move their products through a network of independent representatives who make sales by sharing the business and products with people they know also known as their "Warm List" of friends and family.
The ACN style has worked worked well at pushing them up the list to one of the top direct sales companies in their field.
Network marketing has been a lucrative way to sell products since 1949 and has become the marketing arm for a very diverse range of products.
It seems today that any kind of product is being sold through network marketing.
ACN is growing really well but I have a beef with them.
With the resources ACN has in way of technology you would imagine they would come up with marketing training for their reps that was more current and tuned to reach the masses.
First I must inform you that I am a full time network marketer and my key focus is on marketing online to grow and expand my business.
As I mentioned, ACN utilizes the MLM approach but teaches their downline out dated sales strategies.
What most people don't comprehend is the old style of of hunting down friends and relatives and writing a warm list is the worst way to build a business and has already become an out dated way in growing a huge team of reps.
This is why 97% of the people who join MLM fail to make any real money.
I'll paint picture for you.
Think about a small business.
How about a pizza shop? Suppose you owned a pizza store and you invited every one of your friends and your family to come out and purchase a pizza every couple of weeks.
That seems like a fantastic idea but what happens on the days your friends don't feel like eating pizza? If they don't come in these days then there won't be many sales.
The point I'm trying to make is you need more than friends to build a business.
In fact you need a steady flow of customers every day to grow any business that relies on retailing products.
This idea also works with multi-level marketing.
ACN teaches you to make a warm list of everyone you know and then invite them to a business meeting where they will be presented with an ACN phone overview and a presentation on the compensation plan.
This might work for a short time but what happens when you run out of people to talk to? Your business begins to die due to lack of prospects.
There are not many people that are connected with enough people to keep their business afloat for a long period of time.
The only way to continue the growth in your business is to do marketing and attract new prospects every single day.
One of the least expensive ways to advertise your business is to market online.
Look around and you will see that most businesses are using the internet in some way to explode sales.
The odd and amazing thing about ACN is they discourage their downline from using the internet to grow their business.
I know this first hand because I have conversed with many ACN reps who told me that their upline told them that using the internet to find leads was a waste of time.
This is completely untrue.
Reps on my team are generating a huge supply of online leads every day to the point that they have more than they can talk with.
You would think that a company like ACN that has a high tech video phone would consider using current technology to grow their business.
What they would rather do is promote an old style, ineffective marketing technique from the 90's and gloss over the fact that 97% of their reps are having zero success.
So I raise the question, "Why not teach your distributors a way to market so they will find true success and build a successful team?" I suppose that the top guys at ACN don't realize how to use the web and are terrified of it.
I can't pick on ACN because this is an industry wide problem.
Most MLM companies do not teach marketing.
I can tell you right now that calling your warm list is not marketing.
If you have a sound marketing program you won't have to worry about leads because the incoming calls will light up your phone.
It's a completely different approach than what is taught in the MLM industry.
It's time for the industry to get caught up with current times.
I show people how to promote their business online and have decided that this is the best strategy to generate steady leads and grow a huge organization over time..

This works for ACN and any other MLM you desire to build.
