Build with our network, thrive with our system.
A particular brand of mentorship and support
We are human first, social by nature, and stronger together. Yet for many entrepreneurs today, the journey can feel lonelier and more stressful than ever. Often wasting hours each day plugged into algorithms optimised to distract you.
Mental and social isolation is the major social pathology of our time
If you’re going to be successful, happy, and fulfilled in your entrepreneurial journey on thing is for sure: you need allies. You need people who are on your side, contributing to your vision, skills and confidence.
We specialise in a particular brand of peer-group mentorship and field support that leads to a healthier business, a faster income, and a happier you. At Acumen Strategic Partners, the early-stage support function of the Sponsor and upline support team is actually a paid function. Not the recruitment function, the support function. It brings us to the heart of what being a personal Sponsor is all about – how much goodwill and hands-on support we pour into others.
How we incentivise best practice and bring out the best in our Team Partners
An innovative independent community driving the team-building roots deep, building income across multiple streams, and rewarding Team Partners in a way that’s simple, fast, and fair.

Why we reward driving the roots deep and how this changes everything
A thoughtful system designed to fast-track your growth, confidence, and that all-important initial stream of income.

How to develop secure independent income across multiple streams
Our “untied” independent status means there’s no limit to the opportunities we can adopt as they occur across the free market.

How we ensure fairness and genuine equality of opportunity
How anyone, through their labour, is able to harness powerful team-building leverage on the same basis as everyone else.
Our Mission
To unleash the human potential for good through life-long learning, the power of community, and a fast-track to meaningful career success! We serve our Team Partners with dignity, respect and integrity. We enhance the lives and careers of our Partners with services that support, inspire and connect, and take enormous pleasure in helping our Partners achieve their most fondly held ambitions.
We believe in empowering people
We believe that when individuals are equipped with the right tools and the right support, remarkable things happen. It’s about building skills and confidence, and unlocking belief in what is truly possible. It’s about helping people take true ownership of their journey and rising beyond our self-imposed limitations.
We believe in the power of community
We believe community has the power to transform lives. It’s where connection replaces isolation, and where support, encouragement, and shared vision turn individual efforts into collective momentum. Genuine friendship that inspires us to grow, to lead, and to show up each day in good heart and common cause.
We believe in fair opportunity for all
We believe that true success doesn’t come from status or climbing the greasy pole of a corporate hierarchy – it comes from the courage to start, the willingness to grow, and the heart to serve others. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to grow, lead, and thrive, regardless of their background or resources.

Acumen Strategic Partners are driven by the idea that our very best work as professional network marketers is borne of a commitment to others.
Founder and Managing Director
Jo Smith
Jo Smith is a relentless network marketing investor, field trainer, speaker and Distributor. His vision of an innovative learning environment and mentored support network evolved through his desire to confront the practical challenges he observed over the course of his 20+ years in the field. A vision resulting in a whole series of key innovations including: the adoption of the Principle of “Holacracy” (ethical organisational governance and the stripping-out of traditional corporate hierarchy); the launch of “Distributor-Centric” (an initiative designed to monitise your independent network across multiple income streams once it’s somewhat established); the introduction of our Peer-to-Peer Income Model (establishing true equality of opportunity and that all-important fast route to income); and a commitment to a rigorous Code of Ethics that subjects us all to a fundamentally higher standard of behaviour.
Phil says…
Acumen Strategic Partners are driven by the idea that our very best work as professional network marketers is borne of a commitment to others. A commitment to our peers that really sinks into the bones of who we are and what we’re about. We admire our fellow network marketers for pushing through their fears to launch out in pursuit of their ambitions, and we see our collective entrepreneurial flair as having a hugely positive role to play in difficult times. So if you believe in the importance of lasting personal development, if you feel that you’re meant to strive for something much greater, if you want to unleash your own potential for good and bring others with you, we’d love to have you join our growing family.
