ACN Complaint - ACN= Limited Success in NYC - Independent Representative- home business
Independent Representative- home business - Complaint
NORTH CAROLINA -- The only ACN residential services you call realistically sell in NYC are: U.S. energy (with proven savings), Digital talk, local & long distance, wireless (no savings!). Most ppl don't have satellite in apt. bldgs. nor ADT, unless it's a condo, & most ppl have bundled TimeWar svcs. which they don't want to break up, & no DSL in svc in manh. Other svcs are not appealing. e. g. WiMax & Mobile App.
Commercial svcs: you can get the 10% commission for signing up a commercial energy customer ONLY IF you already have 40 customer points! really?! Video phone: must buy 2 @ $189 ea. in order to use it.
The only svc worth selling: U.S. Energy. Join ACN knowing the truth. I've been in it 3 weeks & wish I knew then what I know now. I'm not saying it won't work for everyone, but think of the svcs your fam & friends use. There is no saving on switching your wireless svc. The only plus is that your friends & family will be earning you two customer points per customer. NO SAVINGS!
There's no clear page on your business website in which you can enter a customer's current ConEd energy expenses & compare them to the Planet Energy (ACN's energy supplier) monthly rate. Therefore, you can't conveniently show your customer what they would be saving if they use Planet Energy as their supplier. Planet Energy's rates are lower than ConEd, though the rates vary from month-to-month.
Oh & it's a pain in the rear to get people to do your home meetings, you can only have so many friends & friends of friends. Some complain that the ppl who signed them up abandon them after the person becomes a representative In my case, they've been on my a**!!!! Calling me during my other work hours, more than once a day, asking me to schedule home meetings & make lists & ... exactly! U're already tired reading all the b*s*! Do your homework before you fork over $499. you have only 10 days to get your $ back if you do sign up as an ACN Rep. Hope this helps.

This is VERY helpful. I was thinking of joining ACN but had reservations. I don't know if it was the happy-happy people or the $499 pricetag. But something just doesn't 'feel' right about it. I'd like to know more of your experience. mt4key@hotmail.com
