subject: 5linx a Scam? [print this page] If you haven't been approached about the 5linx opportunity or asked to join someone's 5linx organization, be patient as I'm sure you eventually will be. If you are one of the individuals that is aware of 5linx and are looking for an objective review of the opportunity be sure to continue reading this article.
To begin, I first would like to tell you about the company. 5linx is a traditional network marketing (or multi-level marketing) company. It is a home based business opportunity with a range of products and services. "5linx" mainly deals with telecommunications services such as VOIP (digital home phone service), video phones, cellular phones and service from major carriers, satellite TV, and online shopping.
5linx has a pretty impressive track record. It has been in business for over 7 years and has been consistently featured in various reputable publications like the Inc. magazine 500 and Rochester Business Alliance. It is also a member of the Direct Sales Association.
So far so good right? I'll get into the compensation plan in a future article as I would like to mainly focus on the company and the opportunity.
To get started with just about any network marketing business, there is usually a fee you have to pay before you can begin to reap any benefits. Honestly, I believe 5linx has one of the lowest start-up costs you'll find in the industry. Once you pay this fee, and become "qualified" (more on becoming "qualified" in my next article), you are taught how to build your organization through various training sessions in addition to being taught all about the products and how to sell them. Most of the marketing methods taught by "5linx" are old school. This includes making lists of friends and family as well as passing out fliers. However, some 5linx reps can be seen using new technology like web 2.0, with a great degree of success I might add.
Now I know what you came here to find out. After signing up, how do I make money with this opportunity? All 5linx reps are encouraged to build their teams in addition to selling the products and services that people use everyday. With this, representatives have the potential to earn vast amounts of residual income part time as well as move up in the compensation plan.
So to answer that burning and all important question to have when approached with a new opportunity: Is 5linx a Scam?
My answer would be no! 5linx is not a scam!
5linx has provided many people success and gained further positive recognition by making the Inc 500 list as well as "Success from Home" magazine from cover to cover. They have a product line that promises, providing telecommunications technology in an age of constant improvements in the communications field. Don't get me wrong though, 5linx is not easy and will take some hard work to become successful just like any other business. Your ability to market 5linx will greatly determine your level of success. Also, it is important to know that in order succeed in any 5linx organization, you have to help others in your business be successful as well. This is a really attractive part of the business. In order to be successful in 5linx, you must help others obtain a level of success as well.
I hope this review has provided some useful information about 5linx.
