Comments on: Article Targets ACN as Voip Pyramind Scheme http://mlmblog.net/2007/05/uneducated_arti.html MLM News - MLM Reviews - Network Marketing News - Network Marketing Reviews Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:59:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Brian http://mlmblog.net/2007/05/uneducated_arti.html/comment-page-1#comment-4489 Brian Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:29:20 +0000 http://localhost/mlmblog/?p=813#comment-4489 I checked out ACN and was very skeptical. I was never comfortable with direct marketing and when I was approached about becoming a representative I said "no way". They said I could save money by getting my services through ACN and I said "fine, show me". Sure enough they saved me almost 60$/month. All with major carriers like Vorizon, Sprint, Direct TV, etc. I then thought that they might be the real deal. so I attended a couple of presentations. Quickly, I learned that this company was in fact, simply a broker for services people already pay for and save them money because direct marketing saves these companies advertising dollars. It's not a scam at all, in fact it makes perfect sense! Do you really think all of these major players would be in bed with a scam operation? This is not to say that it is easy to be really successful-it's not. You have to stay with it and help your team grow. It's not a get rich scheme at all, it's a put in some time now and get payed residual income as your team gets bigger and in a couple of years your retirement is handled. Most people want to see the money the first month they get started and then quit when they don't. When you attend the avents you actually meet the people who have been in it, hear their stories, see their paychecks. So of course it's real. ACN is the only company Donald Trump endorses that he does not own and he has offered to buy it on different occassions-remember when he featured ACN on The Apprentice last March? Can you imagine the black eye "The Donald" would have if ACN were a scam? That is why he had his lawyers spend over a year checking it out first. ACN is easily the best direct marketing opportunity I've seen. The support it offers, the compensation model, and without a garage full of soaps, juices, or vitamins. They can actually save you money on things you already pay for anyway. So if you have a computer, a TV, a cell phone, or a landline, guess what? It might be worth it to take look. You can either save money with this company or you can work the business and make money-why wouldn't you? I checked out ACN and was very skeptical.

I realized quickly that it's about spending your money for conventions,supplies and for RVP's to hold meetings and charge you for the meetings anywhere from 20.00 to 35.00. It's about loosing friends and business aquaintances who avoid you like the plaque. The person that got me into ACN who signed up in May has exceeded the amount of 7,000 without making a dime to go to conventions and such all the while losing her home. She has a false sense of hope that this is her rescue. She even purchased a new car so she can say she got through ACN. This is destroying marriages and bank accounts. You are told If you don't go to conventions and Sat training you won't succeed. You must pay for those events.You are lied to by REPS who evade telling you that you have to shell out more than 500.00 you have to get points so you have to buy services to qulify as a REP Keep your 500.00 this is not going to happen and don't get screwed over by a friend or should I say, somebody you thought was a friend. This is all about getting people under you at any cost ! and your friends turn into demons and forget all forms of right and wrong. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.</p> I recently signed in June signed with ACN and have now quit.

It's incredible to be able to share my passion for things I love with others. The icing on the cake is that I get paid to do it. Shouldn't you?

I don't attend many of the meetings and I don't work the business very hard, but I can tell you the products are great and I have received a pretty decent residual check every month for a couple of years. ACN recently made changes to the compensation plan and my check went up nearly $300 per month. Call it what you will, but I have the upmost respect for the company. My Voip line is stellar. Very clear, no problems. ACN doesn't piggy back on anyone elses VOIP structure. It rivals any other out there I've come across.</p> I've been in ACN for approx. 3 years.
