Hi Guys, thought i might mention this for a bit of advice. I recently was offered the opportunity to take a part as a representative in a telco business called ACN. First off (like most) seeing the $$$ got me pumped but after doing some research on the company and reading feedback from people with previous involvement or have known someone within the business i have changed my mind and decided not to go with it...

Has anybody been involved with or been shown the business plan of ACN?? i just want to know have i made the right decision????

Was given an offer to get involved with this compnay recently but decided also not to continue with it after seeing the finer details...

Pyramid selling basically...

Can say there are a few people with SANFL links involved so there must be something that works for them...

I've been hit up by the ACN sales pitch I went from trying not to laugh at the guy to trying not to punch him and walk out.

It's a pyramid scheme with dodgy contracts and 'products'. They're linked to Amway I believe, it was certainly a similar sales pitch.

Apparently their tech is outdated. How the hell can they hope to sell anything with cheap contracts for iPhones?

Pyramid schemes work for those who get in very early - but only at the expense of the majority who get in later..

Was approached about 2 years ago and given a information dvd endorsed by Donald Trump. Other than the people who approached me don't know of anyone else that has signed up. Don't know enough about their product & wouldn't feel comfotable on selling it if i knew it was dodgy.

That's the first time Ive seen Trump speak - was very funny. Someone's sewn the ends of his mouth shut - looks like he's blowing a trumpet when he talks

I meant to say that the real providers offer cheap iphone contracts and ACN offer crap phones.

BARTO, you seem to say a lot maybe without knowing all the details?? Have you ever really compared??

Yes. In summary: they're shit.

Let me guess, you've been sucked in by the "multi level marketing" brainwashing and are currently all starry eyed about how much money you are going to be rolling around in a year from now.

went to the in-house seminar about year and a half ago.

They haven't taken off and the time one would need to invest to even get it off the ground is not worth it.

In a few years technology will pass it by and it all will be a waste of time.

Good business ideas start at the ground up and working hard.
Not just getting in on schemes and making the guy above you money.

Pyramid = sham
