I just want to say God Bless this company. Being a Veteran who served for over 20 years in the Navy, embarking on my ACN journey has taught me so much is possible as long as I apply my strong work eithic and bring that to the table each and everyday. Huge salute to the co founders for not giving up in 1993. If they did, I would be working at a 9-5 job building someone else’s dream.

The structure is a familiar geometric…
…shape involving “essential services.”
You can join as a customer, and a marketing rep. Either way do your research and consider the following:
As a consumer;
Compare the costs of what they offer to what you can get on your own as “apples to apples.”Example: their version of T-mobile: do a side by side comparison of rates, device costs, level of service, terms, and cancel policy for the cost. For other services: cost of kilowatt hours/therms, deductibles, monthly premium/membership costs, actual benefits/services, terms, required investments in equipment, other monthly fees (taxes, tariffs) terms, and service quality. Read and understand all of the fine print.
As a potential marketing rep;
Aka “IBO” or independent business owner (1099 independent contractor), know what you’re getting into before you commit:
Do all of the above product comparisons, and and know what’s enthusiastically promoted isn’t as easy, or simple, as alleged. Presentations are well-scripted, vague, and include products perpetually “pending release.” Terms also change frequently (at your cost) all clothed in the language of limitless profit and lifestyle potential while “helping others,” appealing to your good nature, and can become quite…preachy.
If you’re considering the IBO option, know that as a 1099 contractor you pay for everything and are entitled to nothing. You’re also responsible for all costs of start-up, doing business, paying taxes and other overhead, building your business, and will have to spend more $$ up front and beyond than it appears.
Any success depends on you investing significant sums and a large contact list to:
A- get yourself started and maintain basic requirements
B- sell services to family, friends, professional contacts (which become theirs by proxy for any who sign on)
C- recruit other IBOs.
Here’s the basics of what it will cost you to start and maintain your 1099 business:
1- required “one time entry fee” +$300, subject to change and added increases later at ACN’s behest.
2- required monthly subscription fee ($30+) for your back office, generic pass-through web page, and training materials, also subject to change/increase.
3- you are required to buy (and continuously pay for via ACH) a certain number of their services yourself, to accumulate enough “points” required to earn even base commissions on your sales, adding $hundreds/thousands more in up front and continuing costs, pitched as “saving you $$ on what you’re already paying someone else for.”
You’re required to replace by a deadline if you cancel, or you can’t earn, and are demoted and vulnerable to termination.
4- you are required to recruit others (and they must do all of the above as well) to earn the coveted “bonuses and lifetime residuals.”From the day you sign on, are required to maintain your monthly payments and must recruit for various levels in the compensation/leadership higherarchy within certain deadlines, or your buy-ins and requirements are subject to increase and you’re responsible for replacing loss of downlines due to attrition.
5- You must “be coachable.” The recruiting strategy (for obtaining service clients and new IBO’s) is:
YOU recruit for, host (and pay for) periodic in-person marketing events in your home or at restaurants, and are expected to offer an attractive spread, adding significant $costs to your overhead, which you may not recover.
6- You must constantly keep recruiting, to offset customer and IBO attrition and your startup/continued overhead.
7- Added expectations/costs; bi/tri annual “training” conventions @ vacation destinations you’re expected to attend, and get recruits to, and pay for promoted with videos of stadiums of cheering good looking, well-dressed 20-40 somethings.
The real profits go to ACN and your uplines thanks to you.
If you’ve worked insurance production, much of this will sound familiar, except you don’t make much on your transactions.

A FUIR, aucune considération pour leurs clients
Je suis une pharmacie et je participe au service d'urgence de garde de nuit de ma région. J'ai rempli leur formulaire de contact le 16/12 pour une résiliation car j'arrête mon activité le 31/12, je leur précise bien que je ne souhaite résilier qu'à partir du 10/01/25, ils me répondent qu'il leur faut un délai de 10 j. pour toute résiliation. Mais dès ce matin, le 17/12 et ce, sans me prévenir, ils m'ont déjà coupé la ligne et parait-il, ils ne peuvent plus la rétablir. C'est à peine croyable ce genre de comportement, c'est une entreprise qui se fiche royalement de leurs clients !
Merci à ACN pour les malades qui ne pourront pas me joindre pour leur traitement. J'espère qu'aucun membre du personnel de cette entreprise n'aura besoin de médicament en urgence !

ACN is definately a pyramid scheme.
ACN is definately a pyramid scheme.
I was in the business for 3 years seriously trying to make money on it.
After using around 1,500$ and NOT getting anything out of it as only spending my valuable time and money, I decided to quit the business.
To sign up you need to pay 500$ and you do not get anything else than some information material and your own website in shape of a company profile leading to the same sales information.
So when ever you recruit a new person, you get a bonus from their sign-up fee. So many people earn money on ONLY recruting, which is the definition on a pyramid scheme in Danish law.

Entreprise avec un très mauvais service…
Entreprise avec un très mauvais service après-vente, un tchat qui n'arrête pas de couper, une personne qui s'excuse en permanence! et au bout de six jours toujours pas de réparateur téléphonique!!! Pour une société qui se dit au top,, je trouve que l'opérateur historique est meilleur que ACN en france!

MLM Pyramid Scheme
MLM Pyramid. Where IBO makes more IBO and most of them lose the Membership Fees. The topline IBOs don't share too much information about pros and cons. ACN makes all the money and then IBOs go into the market searching for Commission Utility Bills and gas Bills. They don't explain the Cancellation Fees up front and then deny your Refund saying that you are not eligible. Be aware of this Scheme.
Please do your own research into MLM before joining.

Today I have helped 100,000'S of people SAVE money on health care.
I highly recommend this company for people that understand opportunity & understand nothing happens with a LOT of Work
