Before you get involved in ACN please google all complaints against them including their BBB report. I'm sorry but there is no residual income when people cancel their services due to unhappiness (and those were your friends and family) and the only way to continue to make more money is to recruit more people (friends and family) and those are one time bonuses that run out. Pretty soon you will be out of money and friends and family. Anyone who still likes you, if you are making money you'll never see since you'll be going to weekly meetings and trainings at your own expense in order to recruit friends of friends, etc.  Comments (29) |  |

I have not yet signed up myself, but am watching very closely. To those with negative comments about ACN, your words identify you as someone who should never have tried something you have to work to be successful at. Turn those negative comments into self-confidence and be someone. Some win some lose, which are you. Its not the product, its you! |
| 3. Written by ap, on 26-09-2009 06:17 It is quite simple, ACN is a great opportunity. However if you sign up and don't talk to people and inspire them to attend a meeting then you will fail. This business is a people business, so if there's little to no communication...how does one expect to excel. Simply acquiring customers is not where the money comes. You need both representatives and customers for your business to be lucrative. Just thought I'd throw that out there. If you like to email me, do so at |
| 4. Written by , on 18-09-2009 12:12 Am considering working with the ACN organization. Am seeking info from people with experience. How is their customer support? How is the phone service? Has anyone out there signed the 3 go getters and 20customers only to realize this is not the magic number ACN tells us it is? Please email me, I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks, Kim |
| 5. Written by Pierre, on 30-08-2009 16:20 I am one of the top Representatives at ACN. I just had a near death experience making me see the error of my bad ways. I feel obligated to tell everyone that has joined ACN before and will join now, that it is indeed a SCAM! We top reps are paid to memorize and repeat a script to anyone who is gullible enough to put up the $499.00 expecting to make so much more a month as we promise you. We are taught to 'separate a fool from their money' so that we can get richer along side Mr. Trump. I am so sorry for being greety and tricking so many. Please don't waist any more money or time chasing a dream that is impossible to catch up to. |
| 6. Written by iiuva, on 26-08-2009 10:56 Hi I am an ACN rep.. people tend to dis any business opportunity that they failed..and it's not the company's failure.. it's your failure.. this is a self-motivative.. self-initiative business.. if this is not you .. don't do the business... it's like any other business.. out there in the country.. insurance agents work on the same system.. on the same pay system also.. they don't make money unless they go out there and find customers..to obtain residual income.. so what is your complaint about.. ?? that after you exhausted all your family and friends.. you didn't have the skills to approach new people that you meet in your everyday life?? cause your lack of imagination on how to find new customers.. helped you fail the business..?? this is a business like any other.. you have to work at it to build.. and through training new ideas come in.. and you expand your imagination..and growth... if you are not a people person don't do this business.. cause you have to initiate approaches and conversations on many occasions.. stop dissing the company.. cause what you are really doing is dissing yourself for failing your business.. A C N is the only global networking company out there that I know of.. that requires you to pay a licence fee to start your turn key business but does not require you to buy their monthly services if you are doing the business.. so imagine.. there are so many companies out there where you have to spend $$ every month to stay in the business... and with ACN you don't have to.. you pay your $ 499 and you are in.. no monthly purchases required.. that is a deal to me.. to have a global turn key business.. where the only thing you have to do is find only 20 customers and 3 business builders.. the rest just snowballs from there.. you will never find a more fair business than ACN..you are building your own business.. if you open a Tim Hortons franchise.. or Home Depot franchise.. do they pay your gas expenses to get to work..or your phone expenses to communicate with your suppliers and customers? noooo.. so why do you expect it from ACN.. at least you don't have an overhead to pay, no lease to pay, no advertising to pay for, etc etc.. for $499 you got a global business.. that you can run anywhere in the 20 countries they are in.. what are you complaining about? Bell, Telus and other major communication companies would not partner with with a scamming company.. never.. their pay system is fair and if you got the audacity.. you will succeed.. you need the confidence to do this business.. just like the one insurance agents have.. great choice to anyone who just started an A C N business.. see you at the top.. by the way .. if you have any business products or services to promote.. feel free to take a free listing at www.homessentials.ca |

| 9. Written by Dan, on 05-06-2009 00:10 I signed up as a rep. Was told a great story. Bought 2 video phones, was going to use one as a demo unit, payed the $500.00 on top of that to be a rep. Initial investment of $1000.00, which is fine if there's a half decent return. Worked my rear end off, got about 12 customers signed up and wanted to see what kind of residual there would be, before I asked people to sign up as reps and drop $500. No cheque after 8 months so I call ACN and they tell me that once my residuals hit $13.00, then it's worth the cost of cutting a cheque. I did up great looking cards, color promo flyers (about 1,000 total). I'm out about $2000.00. UP YOURS ACN!!! YOU SUCK!!! |
