Many network marketing companies structure their compensation plans like a hard-to-read manual written in a foreign language. But that shouldn’t stop new associates from starting a home-based business or building wealth with companies like ACN. This is an overview of ACN’s compensation plan, written for everyone to understand.
How the ACN Compensation Plan works
ACN works like many network marketing companies in that the most important element in building wealth is building a “downline” or team of associates under you. But the system is much more complex than that.
First, there are seven “levels” that can be achieved in the ACN compensation plan. Everyone starts as a Team Trainer by earning 5 customer points. To earn 5 points, you must sell a minimum of three “plans” to customers. These plans can range from a digital phone service plan to a home phone plan or an ADSL connection. Points for all of these plans range from 1 to 2 points, so for example, to meet your Team Trainer requirement, you could sell a mobile phone plan to two people and a home power plan to one person.
The second level is that of Executive Team Trainer. You must hire two Team Trainers as company associates to earn this level. A good goal, or so ACN says, is to reach this second level in your first 30 days with the company.
After that, things get more complex. You need to start selling more plans yourself (the third level, Executive Team Level, requires you to accumulate 12 personal points) and you also need to get your downline to reach higher levels.

At the top is the ANC senior vice president level, a coveted position. You must have six different legs in your organization, and within each one, you must have a Team Coordinator (Level 4), a Regional Director (Level 5), and a Regional Vice President (Level 6) in each of these six legs.
This, of course, seems like a lot. And for those unfamiliar with the world of network marketing, it can be daunting to think about the work required to get to these higher levels. And it’s a lot of work, but there are also plenty of resources on the web to help both experienced and new business owners navigate this territory.
How to be successful with the ACN Compensation Plan
To be successful in a business like ACN, it’s important to learn how to harness the power of the Internet to reach as many people as possible. After all, it would be hard to build a 6-legged downline with high-income associates in each of them just by touching their immediate friends and family. Fortunately, however, these skills can be learned and applied to help any network marketer achieve success.
