Our Humble Beginning
Cognigen Networks, the brain child of Kevin Anderson, began in 1992 as a family business in which he and his wife Laurel could sell long distance from the privacy of their own home. Mr. Anderson, a seasoned computer scientist, envisioned and explored his idea of online marketing with a focus on long distance products.

In 1995, Mr. Anderson invented and pioneered the concept of the "self replicating web page", which allowed him to build massive downline organizations very quickly in a number of telcom MLM (Multi Level Marketing) programs. At the same time, Cognigen had an agent force of more traditional non-MLM telecom marketing professionals; so Mr. Anderson developed web sites to support the operations of their agents. Kevin and Laurel built Cognigen into a strong, profitable business - providing a good living for a number of their independent agents. They grew a good deal more successful than some of the telcom MLM programs with which they had earlier been active.

In Kevin's own words:
"Until September of 1998, we avoided building our own Telcom MLM company, because, frankly, rates and commissions were just not good enough to develop an MLM program which was fair to all, and which required no money from agents who joined. Until September of 1998, we employed a commission model which is "traditional" in the telcom industry, focusing on high commissions for direct sales, but reserving little for override commissions. New tariffs have been introduced now, which has changed that; and we set out to build the world's best telcom MLM company."

Cognigen Networks now has the "back office" technology to make it easy to run your Cognigen business, with password protected private web sites giving you instant data about your downline, upline and account status. Because of the way we leverage internet technology, Cognigen is positioned to become a billion dollar company with a remarkably small overhead.

We have employed a very simple compensation plan, which will reward hard work, and which is fair to beginners and experienced telcom agencies alike. We do not force you into a "matrix", and we pay you well for your own sales, at 6%, while we also pay a full six levels of 1% commissions on your downline agencies. If you directly sell significant total monthly billing, your direct commission can grow to as much as 10%. With our rates, our technology, online signup, and a full 12% total commission payout, you can develop a huge residual monthly Cognigen income in time, if you make a reasonable effort.

Cognigen will remain a family operation, which will leverage technology so that you, our independent representatives, may earn a good living simply offering our value priced services in your communities. We are successful. We are publicly traded. We have the economic power needed to team up with some of the most powerful major companies in our industry in order to offer low cost, high value services to our clients. We are so happy to have left corporate America behind!
