First off, keep in mind what the OP is asking.

Before you judge people by calling them idiots (I believe this was directed at me since no mention of the word was used in your previous posts; only after mine) maybe you should try to understand what they're basing their opinions on. My opinions about ACN are based on MY experience. What are yours based on?

Then how can you back up your opinions about them?

In my experience, this is contrary to what we were taught, at the time.

From my experience, we were told to first approach family & friends before strangers. Their reasoning was that it was easier to convince people we already knew. Their approach may have changed now. I don't know. Back then (7-8 years ago) this approach was the basis of their marketing strategy.[/QUOTE]

WRONG! I made my initial investment back. From my experience, it was difficult approaching family & friends because I felt they were only signing on to support me not because they had faith in the actual service. Within me, it didn't feel right, so I quit.

To conclude, I am basing my opinions on my experiences with ACN. I don't hate them. It just wasn't for me. Because of all the propaganda that went on during the meetings, some of my colleagues quit their full time jobs to do ACN. Eventually, it never worked out and they returned to work. My advice to the OP is to speak with those that had actual experiences with ACN and not those that base their information from second hand sources (internet, print media, etc.). Even someone that may have had experiences with other MLM's (Herbalife, Avon, Tupperware, Arbonne, etc.) can't really accurately speak of ACN.

Things may have changed since I first joined but the fact still remains that ACN is an MLM. Why else would you need to pay, to get in on the opportunity? Out of all the employers I've had in the past, not one charged me money to become part of their organization let alone work for them.

MLM (Multi-Level Marketing)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing

Other terms for MLM include network marketing, direct selling, and referral marketing.
