On the advice of my critics, I sought out the opinions of two former/current ACN salespersons/recruiters/investers/representatives (I still don’t know what to call them).
After reading their POVs, I’m starting to ACN is not as evil as I thought it was, but I still don’t like it. I think the proper way to lead a sales team, or company division, is with one or so managers managing, and several sellers selling. Not both at the same time.
Here’s what they said.
Marc:
Recruiting is your first income. It’ll take a while before it gets with sales. The most important thing you want to know is to find motivated people to get under you for them to be doing the same thing. And after a while it should work for itself and the sales will get higher than the recruitment.
Patrick:
What people dont understand is that what realy matters in ACN is the residual income one will be receiving in the long run after putting the time and effort of building an effective team. But since this takes time to build, a way of encouraging and rewarding those who actually do recruit. Bonuses are given out in a specific manner. The compensation plan is well explained before one joins ACN. I dont understand why people fuss about it and complain.
