The question I hear all the time in the Network Marketing community, "Is 5Linx the 'premier business opportunity' they claim? Or is it another fly by night network marketing opportunities with hype and destined to fail or be shut down.
Let's do our due diligence and take a much closer look.
I have personally been successful in Network Marketing with over 12 years of experience. I have built some substantial income through the years in doing so and have helped others to do the same. I raise those points up not to boast but to share my experience and weight my position for this blog.
5Linx Review
Being that you are reading this post, chances are, you've been approached about starting a 5Linx business as an Independent Distributor or perhaps as a customer and you're doing your homework to better make your decision.
Which is exactly what you should be and make a better informed decision, one in which you are comfortable with.
You have probably went out to various search engines and came across some "5Linx Reviews" or even some "5Linx Scams" post and now you are confused about what you should believe at this point. This is a fair thought simply because, you are not sure which side to lean on. All of the reviews that you see will fall into one of two sides:
- Positive reviews from active Independent Distributors promoting the company, products, and services.
- Negative reviews or 5Linx scam post from those who go in and did not enjoy success
I want to caution you on side #2, and provide a point without even looking at the facts about 5Linx. Position #2 is not only indicative of 5Linx, but this mainly represents a population of Network Marketers who have not been successful with ANY company. So I would bet most have jumped around from company to company and the same post will be for Herbalif, ACN, Amway, or more. This is because it was not the company but they did not know what it takes to be a "professional" in Network Marketing. This is a very critical point to understand here.
5Linx was established in 2000 and quickly made a name for itself by making the Fortune 500 list in 2005.
The company is backed by a strong management team with a proven track record and a potentially profitable compensation plan. The company's business is based on the offerings of essential household services, telecommunications, internet, TV, Satellite (DirecTV & Dish), Home Security, just recently Wellness, and much more. The president and CEO of the company, Craig Jerabeck, has an extensive background both within MLM industry and with telecommunications and technology.
Now that I have said a mouth full here, we can see the company is stable, offers a full compliment of products and has an impressive track record.
Now I know you are wondering, "Can the average person make good money with the 5Linx business opportunity."
5Linx Compensation Plan
Just as with most Network Marketing compensation plan, there are a number of ways to earn a commission. 5Linx offers the starting point as either a Customer Representative or Independent Marketing Representative, and allows for 8 leadership levels from Training up to Diamond Senior Vice President. 5Linx allows their reps 8 ways to get paid, and includes commissions from the sale of their products and monthly residual income when clients and distributors make their monthly payments. There is an opportunity to earn bonuses, incentives, vacations, luxury cars, and profit-sharing. Back to the luxury car, that would be a FREE Bentley, yes a Bentley!
The question still remains, can you make money?
The challenge here to prove with without facts, or knowing a 5Linx distributor to give you the day in the life that would be hard to know for sure. The other challenge is that 5Linx is a privately help company, so they are not obligated to disclose an income earning statement.
Back to the 5Linx Reviews
Just as with joining any Network Marketing company, the very first assessment that needs to be done first is on YOU. You need to define and understand why it is that you want to join any Network Marketing company. Take it from my experience, Network Marketing is not a happy skip down the trail. It takes hard work and dedication, especially if you are doing it in parallel with your regular 9 to 5 job. So definitely start on you first.
Next just as you have done to get to this point, do your due diligence and make sure you feel comfortable with your decision.
"How do YOU intend to promote the business opportunity?"
Once you approach your family, friends, co-workers and other associates--what's your plan to get the product, service, and opportunity in front of a new audience of potential prospects over an extended period of time. Do you have a marketing plan and strategy to reach prospects both online and offline? What I'm asking here is how do you expect to get leads.
This is where I step in and offer value. I do personally believe that 5Linx is a good company with great things to come for the near and long-term future. The questions that I just asked are vital to your success and this is where I can help. If you are in need of an experienced Network Marketing professional who has the answers those questions you
should definitely reach out to me.
I encourage you to comment and share this post as I'm looking to get a wide-range of perspectives on this topic. I would also like to open this up broader to ther Network Marketing companies as well.
Be blessed
