Rene St-Pierre

I’m 37 and my wife and I are the proud parents of Anthony (5 years old) and Léa (3 year old). We live on the south shore of Montreal in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Both of us are born and raised in Quebec, which means our mother tongue is French. I had the chance to be exposed to the English language while growing up and I use English 80% of the time at work. So, over the years, I became bilingual. However, my wife and most of our family and friends only speak French.

I am a Mechanical Engineer by trade and I have been working in the Energy Industry for 14 years. I have spent all my career in Sales and Marketing roles, developping markets ans customer relationships, leading proposal teams and negotiating multi-million dollar contracts. My work has allowed me to travel throughout Canada and the US and to various Countries such as Brazil, Venezuela, Italy, Norway, Sweden, UK, Germany and Switzerland.

I discovered Internet Marketing and MLM in September 2006. I invested $5000 into a pyramid scheme called PAS which was shut-down by the SEC just a few weeks after I joined. Although that was a major shock, I had the time to see the potential of Internet Marketing and MLM. After the PAS experience, I joined another start-up MLM business which folded 4 months later. At that point, I decided to put a hold on my MLM career and looked to develop my Internet Marketing skills. So, I read many eBooks on how to make money on-line and have tried various different things. I am now pretty knowledgeable in PPC (had some success last year when I made about $7000 in commissions over a 4 months period (for $3000 net profit) promoting a diet with Adwords), know different ways to advertize on-line for free and know how to set-up a Blogger Blog (with an opt-in form, affiliate ads, etc).

I decided to get back into MLM not too long ago when a friend of ours showed us the ACN opportunity. I have followed what our up-line has been teaching us (the "old" methods). I gave this a try since they have been able to succeed and quit their full-time jobs to spend 100% of their time on their MLM business. But, like most people, I have not had the expected success. So now, I am working to figure-out how to use my IM skills to make my MLM business successfull.
