Getting Started
Regardless of which of the 2 starting levels someone
chooses, the same Independent Representative Agreement form is used.
People who choose the Customer Representative level pay a one-time
training and application fee of $99. Those choosing the Team Trainer level
pay $499. Once the Representative Agreement is completed, the white copy
of the application should be sent directly to ACN by mail or fax. If the
form is completed online, ACN receives it automatically and it will be
entered into the system the next business day. |
Getting Qualified
In order to qualify for their levels, all ACN
representatives MUST acquire customers. To qualify for their level and be
eligible to receive Customer Acquisition Bonuses, Team Trainers must
acquire and maintain at least 6 "connected" long distance customers or 8
customers using any ACN service. |
Earned Levels
As representatives begin to advance through ACN’s
earned levels, additional qualifications must be met.
 To qualify for the first earned level – Executive Team Trainer
– you must be a Team Trainer with a minimum of 20 personal billing
customers and also have directly sponsored and qualified 3 Team Trainers
by helping each of them acquire 6 "connected" long distance customers or 8
customers using any ACN service within the required time. You should set a
goal to reach ETT within your first 4 weeks.
To earn the level of Team Coordinator, you must have 3
separately sponsored organizations, or "legs," and each must contain at
least 200 customers. So, for example, if you sponsored one
person directly and they acquired 200 customers all by themselves that leg
would count. If you sponsored another person and they had recruited 9
people within their organization, now there are 10 of them all together.
If each of them had acquired 20 customers, that’s 10x20. That also equals
200. As long as you have a total of 200 customers anywhere in 3 separate
legs, you will have achieved the level of Team Coordinator. Set a goal to
achieve this level within your first 3-6 months.
 To reach ACN’s highest level – Regional Vice
President – you must have at least one person achieve the level of Team
Coordinator anywhere in each of 5 separate legs of your organization.
Earning this level can be achieved in 1-2 years. |
Personal Residual Income
ACN representatives can earn money in two ways –
through monthly residual income based on their customers’ usage of our
services – and through weekly Customer Acquisition Bonuses, which are
earned by helping newly sponsored Team Trainers acquire their 6
"connected" long distance customers or 8  customers using any ACN service within the required time.
As you begin to acquire personal customers, you can qualify to earn
between 2% and 8% of their monthly bills – and earn it month after month,
year after year for as long as they continue to use ACN’s services. How
much you earn is based on the total amount of billings of all of your
personal long distance and Internet customers combined.
As your business grows and your total monthly billing volume increases,
you earn more.
When all of your customers combined total $12,500 or more
in monthly billings, you reach the 8% level. Whenever you reach a new level, ACN pays you the increase on your
entire personal customer base. |
Residual Override
You can also earn over-riding residual income on the
customers of ALL of the representatives in your organization. On the
representatives you personally sponsor – the first "level" or "generation"
below you – ACN pays you 1/4% of the total monthly billings of all of the
customers they acquire. You can also earn 1/4% over-riding residual income
on levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 … 1% on level six … and 6% on level 7 by meeting
the qualifications detailed on the Compensation Plan. In addition,
representatives holding the level of Regional Vice President are eligible
to receive 1/2% over-riding residual income on levels 8 through infinity
in their organizations.
Keep in mind that ACN sets no monthly quotas – just a one-time
qualification. All you have to do is maintain this qualification and
you’ll continue to receive residual income for the life of the customers.
|
7th Level Qualifications
ACN representatives can qualify to receive over-riding
residual income on and throughout their 7th level in two ways – by
acquiring and maintaining 40 personal customers or 20 personal customers
and 5 directly sponsored qualified Team Trainers. Either way, once you
meet and maintain the minimum requirement, you’re fully qualified through
7 levels of the Compensation Plan!
Set a goal to meet these requirements as quickly as
possible. Don’t make the minimums your maximums – don’t ride that fine
line of having just 20 or 40 customers. If one or more of your customers
drops ACN’s services, you don’t want to lose your qualification for that
level. You – and EVERY representative in your organization – should always
be adding new customers. That’s where the growth comes from!

Customer Acquisition Bonuses
If you take a closer look at the ACN Compensation
Plan, you can see how the Compensation Plan works both in the short and
long term. The bottom line in building your ACN business is that you’re
acquiring customers and recruiting customer getters in order to build a
huge residual income for yourself.
But it does take a while for residual income to grow. It starts out
slow and then it starts growing and compounding every month because of the
geometrical growth of customers occurring within your team. To fuel you up
front while your residual income is building, ACN offers Customer
Acquisition Bonuses.
Early on, the majority of your income will come from the
weekly Customer Acquisition Bonuses you’ll earn. But in the long run, the
majority of your compensation will come from the residual income1 created
from all of the customers’ monthly billings on all of the levels of your
organization.

CAB Requirements
Customer Acquisition Bonuses are only paid when new
representatives meet their minimum customer acquisition requirements. CABs
are released when your newly sponsored Team Trainer becomes qualified by
acquiring 6 "connected" long distance customers or 8 customers using any
ACN service within the required time.
You need to be sure you understand that bonuses are paid only when new
representatives get qualified. If they don’t meet their customer
qualifications, you will not receive a bonus. So you see the urgency of
helping your recruits to get their customers right away.
 |
Three types of Customer Acquisition Bonuses
Personal CABs are the bonuses that you personally earn
when you help your newly sponsored representatives meet their customer
qualifications.
Open Line CABs are bonuses you earn when representatives in your
organization – who have not yet reached your earned level – help their
newly sponsored representatives meet their customer qualifications.
Generational CABs are bonuses that you earn when representatives in
your organization – who have reached the same earned level as you – help
their newly sponsored representatives meet their customer qualifications.
Again – keep in mind that no one receives a bonus merely for bringing a
new representative into the business. Bonuses are only earned when new
representatives become qualified by acquiring the minimum number of
personal customers necessary within the required time. |
Personal CABs
Remember that only qualified Team Trainers and higher
are eligible to earn bonuses. No bonuses are ever released to Customer
Representatives.
The dollar amounts of the Personal Customer
Acquisition Bonuses you can earn are determined by your earned level.
If you are a Team Trainer and you personally sponsor a new Team Trainer
into the opportunity and help them acquire 6 "connected" long distance
customers or 8 customers using any ACN service within the required time,
you earn a $90 CAB. If you are an Executive Team Trainer and do the same
thing, you earn $150. Team Coordinators earn $240, and a Regional Vice
President would earn a $275 CAB.
You bring in a new Team Trainer and he or she acquires 6 "connected"
long distance customers or 8 customers using any ACN service within the
required time, you earn $90 to $275! |
TT Open Line CABs
What happens when the representatives you personally
sponsored recruit new representatives of their own and those new
representatives acquire their customers and become qualified? Depending on
the level you have earned, you’re eligible to receive an Open Line
Customer Acquisition Bonus. Only Executive Team Trainers, Team
Coordinators and RVPs are eligible – not Team Trainers – and that alone
should be a great incentive for you as a new Team Trainer to earn the
level of ETT as quickly as possible.
It is important to understand what happens when new Team Trainers who
are sponsored by the Team Trainers that you personally sponsored acquire
their qualifying customers.
If you are an ETT and a Team Trainer you personally sponsored recruits
a new Team Trainer of their own who acquires their qualifying customers
within the required time, you earn a $60 Customer Acquisition Bonus. If
you are a Team Coordinator and the same thing happens, you earn $150 – and
as an RVP, you earn $185. You earn these bonuses for an infinite number
of generations of Team Trainers below you. So if you’re a Team Coordinator
and one of your personally sponsored Team Trainers recruits and qualifies
a Team Trainer … who recruits and qualifies a Team Trainer … who recruits
and qualifies a Team Trainer … and that happens for a dozen … a hundred
generations, you will earn a $150 Customer Acquisition Bonus for every one
of those who acquire their 6 "connected" long distance customers or 8
customers using any ACN service within the required time.
Regardless of where the new qualified Team Trainer falls in your
organization – as long as there is no one between you and that new Team
Trainer who has earned the same level as you – you receive ALL of the open
line CABs. But what happens as people in your organization start earning
the same level as you? That’s where Generational Customer Acquisition
Bonuses come in. |
Generational CABs
To make understanding Generational CABs as simple as
possible, just recognize that every time a new Team
Trainer becomes qualified by acquiring 6 "connected" long distance
customers or 8 customers using any ACN service, ACN pays out a Customer
Acquisition Bonus. How much of that CAB you could receive depends on your
earned level and the earned levels held by the other representatives
between you and the new qualified Team Trainer2 who acquired his or her
qualifying customers.
Note(2) Generational CAB describes incentive to thin out TTs and TCs after customers acquired. |
