The ACN story is over 15 years in the making…and counting! Today, ACN is the world’s largest direct seller of telecommunications services, and is one of the world’s leading direct sellers among all industries, having serviced millions of satisfied customers in 19 different countries on three continents.
ACN launched operations in January 1993 in Southfield, Michigan, as a long distance agent for a company by the name of LCI International, positioning ACN to take the lead as their consumer sales and marketing arm. LCI was later purchased by Qwest Communications for $4.4 billion, and ACN represented an astonishing one-third of LCI’s business.
ACN’s international expansion started in June 1997 when operations were extended into Canada. Today, ACN markets and provides service in 19 countries, with more countries planned for future expansion.
Along the way, ACN realised the only way to provide truly personalised service was to become a telecommunications company. And in July of 2000, that became a reality with the introduction of ACN’s own long distance service. Through ACN Long Distance, the company set the standard for outstanding long distance service.
During January 2003, the dawn of its 10-year anniversary, ACN exploded onto the local calling scene, providing customers with the freedom to choose their local phone service provider. Today, ACN local telephone services feature a variety of calling plans, bundling their premier local and long distance services, together into one convenient, understandable plan.
And all that was only the beginning…
Today, ACN has offices located throughout North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The company’s tradition of providing consumers with services they need and use every day like local and long distance calling, and DSL/Broadband, along with new, innovative cutting-edge technologies such as VoIP and video phone, continues still today. And ACN’s greatest growth lies ahead.
ACN’s successful past and promising future have not gone unnoticed. The company has been featured in a variety of highly respected business publications including Fortune, INC. 500, Success from Home and USA Today. Each one serves as confirmation of ACN’s winning formula and provides a valuable resource for representatives.
