In 1993, four entrepreneurs stopped searching for the company they wanted - and created it.
Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Tony Cupisz and Mike Cupisz parlayed decades of experience in direct sales to the creation of a company designed to support the enterprising spirit of dreaming and achieving far beyond industry confines.
ACN was born, not only as an answer to that calling, but also as a pathway to change lives for those willing to put the work into their own businesses.
The ACN Opportunity began with communications services of the day: long distance service and pagers (remember those?). ACN has since become a leader in the ever-evolving telecommunications and essential services industries.
What has ACN accomplished?
Within five years in business, ACN ranked 22nd in Inc. magazine’s list of fastest-growing companies in North America.
Within 25 years in business, ACN has become the world leader in direct sales of telecommunications, energy and essential services. It operates across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Pacific and Asia.
Meet the ACN founders who made it all possible
These four men began ACN with a legal pad of paper with a line drawn down the middle. On one side, they listed elements of multi-level marketing that worked. On the other, parts of the business that did not.
They tore the sheet in half. The values listed became the bedrock for a company that has thrived in its first 25 years - and changed multitudes of lives along the way.
