American Communications Network ACN

After looking into ACN here is what I  found.
ACN is a multi-level networking company with their head office in (I believe)  South Carolina. I am certainly not going to say if this is a good or bad opportunity. That will be up to the individual.

The entry fee is $499.00 with an ongoing yearly fee of $125.00. Both fees I was told are to help offset the cost of their customer support. As an independent business owner it is your job to recruit and ACN's job to offer your clients a support system. It is easy to see how useful this service could be.

ACN promotes their independent business owners at certain levels of sales, but you must keep those sales levels  up to retain your promotion level and the extra money that comes with your promotion. That will mean you need to be aggressively promoting ACN and it's products as well as recruiting new members. This is for the most part a full time job.

Acn has several products that they sell ( I will not get into what they are) but they are well known products and well known companies. In my investigation I contacted some of the companies that ACN has said they have partnered with and I never got the answer that ACN had told me. ACN uses the term "we have have partnered with" that makes it sound like their suppliers have somehow become a legal part of ACN. The suppliers I made contacted would only say that ACN is a reseller of their products.

ACN also uses Donald Trump to promote their company and give it credibility as a business model. ACN says Trump does this because he believes in ACN not for the money as he does not need the extra money. I agree he does not need the money, but I have yet to meet a business person like Trump that does not want the money. I have read a lot about and he is defiantly getting paid for the promotion of ACN.

I strongly suggest that anyone thinking of joining ACN to first go to the Federal Trade commission. I am sure you will find it an interesting read about muli-level marketing companies and how they compensate their independent associates. In closing I must say that I would rather be the owners of ACN than one of the independent business people.
