ACN Review: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

By: Kristen S.

This is my unbiased review of ACN. I have no affiliation with ACN. In this ACN review, I am simply trying to provide information to help people looking for a home-based business or trying to decide if ACN could be the right home-based business company for them.

Before continuing with this review if you’re serious about adding more new associates next month than you did during all of last year, read this report, “How To Create Your First 6 Figure Month In Network Marketing”.

ACN is the largest direct selling telecommunications company in the world. Its flagship product is their video phone, although it sells everything from local and long distance phone service, to Internet service, to wireless service, to home security and satellite TV service.

I am dividing my ACN review into three parts — the good, the bad and the ugly.  So here goes…

The “Good”…

There is plenty good to say about ACN. It has been around for about 17 years, so it has established itself as a solid company with a solid management team. This is no “fly by night” operation.

Its products and services are good quality. Its compensation package is competitive with other companies.

Certainly phone, Internet and telecom services are something which virtually everyone uses to some extent. So the potential customer pool is incredibly massive.

The “Bad”…

The biggest downside to marketing ACN is that its only flagship product is the video phone (and video phone technology). This means that ACN has no competitive advantage in terms of the services it provides.

This not to say, of course, that ACN’s products aren’t marketable or that one cannot build a successful and profitable network marketing business around this company.

The “Ugly”…

Of course, no matter how good a company is — or how good its products, compensation package or management team are — unless you understand how to market that business properly, you are likely to fail over the long-term. The “bug your friends, family and co-workers” approach simply does not work as a business building model, and this is the way virtually every network marketing company teaches people to build their business.

So finding good education, and understanding what it takes to attract quality, targeted prospects, is an essential piece of the puzzle. Assuming you do that, then ACN would be a company I would recommend.

At the end of the day, my ACN review comes down to this: ACN is a good company, but the bottom line is that you are mostly marketing commodities which compete with some of the biggest companies in the world. The only product ACN offers that offers you any kind of competitive advantage is that flagship video phone.
