I woke up this a.m. itching to do some writing. However, I needed to head to Willows. Right before I dashed out the door, I scribbled on a pad of paper a quick brainstorm. Many of you have questioned Billy and I about our decision to take on a second job, and I want to address as many of these questions in one fell swoop.
1. Why have you and Billy decided to take on second jobs by becoming ACN representatives?
*We decided to become ACN representatives for a few different reasons: first, Billy is a mortgage banker, and we all know how the market has been lately. Second, ultimately Heather would love the ability to stay home with the baby at some point-though this probably won't happen for a couple of years. Third, we love the concept of the ACN home based business, and it made lots of sense to us!
2. Why ACN?
*Though we have been approached by other networking business reps, ACN is the only home based business that made sense in this economy since it is not product based. How awesome to be able to provide name telecommunication essential services (landline, cell phone, internet, satellite tv, tech support, and home security), possibly at a lower cost. It is the world's largest direct seller of telecommunications and home services. ACN is an international services provider conducting business within 23 countries, and it has been in existence since 1993.
3. Is ACN a pyramid?
*Absolutely not! Billy and I thoroughly researched this company before joining. I would hope that our friends and family realize that we never would have gotten into anything even remotely shady. We are professionals, and we make great strides to adhere to the highest standards. ACN's competitive advantage is relationship marketing is used to build the business. Network marketing is one of the oldest, effective business plans.
4. Do you have to be a tech person to join ACN?
*I laugh because anyone who knows me knows that I am the furthest thing from being tech savvy. Instead, you need a work ethic and a desire to help people. There are so many people hurting in this economy. To one person, ACN may be a perfect business opportunity. To another person, ACN may be a way for someone to save money on essential services.
5. Do you have to invest lots of time in ACN?
*Not at all! The beauty of ACN is you can fit it into the cracks of your life. If you decide to become an ACN rep, you decide how much time, effort, and energy you will invest. That's what I love about this company-the possibilities are endless!
6. Is ACN a credible company?
*Definitely! In 2006, Donald Trump offered to purchase ACN. He was highly impressed by the company's growth and technological advancements. However, ACN owners opted not to sell. Instead, Donald Trump has become a spokesperson for the company. ACN's videophone was featured on an episode of the Celebrity Apprentice in 2009. Trump is often a key speaker at ACN conferences. In fact, Donald Trump will be announcing at the ACN San Jose national conference whether he plans to run for President! Additionally, three ex-state attorney generals are considered staff of ACN, providing regular legal counsel to ensure the company adheres to the highest legal and ethical standards. A local sidenote: ever eat a local Casa Ramos? Michelle Hill is part owner of 14 of these restaraunts, and she is also a part of the ACN family. Hill and other business owners recognize the huge potential of ACN, and they find/make time for it and their other multiple business ventures.
7. What is the purpose of your Celebrity Apprentice Party on March 27?
*We have a few reasons for hosting this party. First of all, our business, ACN is making an encore appearance for two whole hours! For the first time in network history a home-based business opportunity will be presented on primetime television!!!! ( You will see how excited I am about this as I sprinkle more exclamation points into my writing. ) Companies pay big bucks to have their 2 minute long commercials air during the Celebrity Apprentice. Yet my company will be featured for two hours, endorsed by Donald J. Trump! This is definitely a reason to celebrate!!! We are throwing a party, and we are hoping that everyone can attend. In fact, we have arranged for us to watch the episode online via our big screen tv., so that we can view it at 6 p.m. opposed to 9 p.m. We have done this to accommodate everyone who works early and/or have children. Plus, we are serving dinner! In case anyone is concerned that this is going to be a high pressure, twist your arm, type of meeting- it won't be! The business opportunity and the services will be presented but in an informative, guilt-free way. Come to celebrate our new business, to learn more about it, and then decide what you think. You definitely owe it to yourself and to your loved ones! If you are able to attend, send Heather or Billy a RSVP via messaging on FB. If you are unable to attend, watch the Celebrity Apprentice on NBC at 9 p.m.
Hi Heather ~ I have several friends who are ACN reps... No great stories of success, yet. Hope you and Billy are the first! God bless. Annie
ReplyDeleteHey Annie, thanks for your comment. I have two friends who are doing quite well. One receives a couple hundred dollars of residual income a month. Another childhood friend of mine is doing so well that he is quitting his day job. As with any new business, sucess is based upon what one puts into it.
