I have read so much about the different type of complaints that former reps have had all these issues with 5LINX. None of which really hold any weight to a true business minded person. I have been in 5LINX for the last 7 months while working a full time job, so it has been strictly part time and the fact is...most of the comments that I have read are from someone who gave themselves time to develop from an average everyday individual into a true businessman or woman. The fact is it takes 3 - 5 years on average to see a profit in a traditional business, so why would you get rich overnight in a MLM business...a business is still a business and it takes time to build a profit.

Most people don't develop themselves into true professional network marketers...simply put the best of the best in 5LINX get to that position because they not only invest in there business but they also spend money on thier own development. It is truly a whole person concept...you have to learn the industry, learn your company, learn your products, LEARN your compensation plan, learn about people, learn how to talk to people, learn how to market, learn how to build network & systems.

If you failed in 5LINX it is not because of the company or then business or anything else...it is simply because you didn't understand the business and you didn't go about the business correctly...Lastly you quit before it got good.

For anyone who is reading this that is thinking about 5LINX as a business option then do yourself a favor and really think about it and make sure that you are willing to give it 3-5 years and you are willing to take a loss in the beginning in order to gain financial freedom down the road. My mentor once said that you can operate a business expecting $50K a month but you only have a $200 a month work ethic. This business is simple but not easy and it requires work in order to be successful and you must be able to follow simple instructions.

If you need help or want to learn more about the truth then email me jarmrob81@gmail.com 30d983a

LET THE TRUTH BE HEARD!!! LET THE TRUTH BE HEARD!!!

so now your out the initial investment, bout $300 more bucks. for a website for the last 6 months. gas money, plane money to fly across the *** country for a meeting, where the top guys show up and tell you to "stay positive" and "you can do it" not to mention $130.00 to get the *** in to a meeting for a business you already *** work at lmfao...what a joke. the guys at the top of this pyramid are making so much money from people starting/ failing this *** daily they can afford to give away as many bmw's as they want and not blink at eye. (remember) no matter what your imr(upline) whatever you call it, tell you...you've got 10 days to cancel this *** and get out. they promise you this sign on bonuses and whatnot...dont believe it. don't fall for the hype!

@ LET THE TRUTH BE HEARD...Trust me I understand your frustration, this type of business is a very hard but simple business because it is a people type of business. I have struggled in my own business especially in recruiting because unless someone has a true entrepreuneur spirit and are willing to truly dedicate themselves to the personal development side of the business....most people fail. It is hard to stay committed in the beginning especially if you don't see the results you hoped for. It doesn't make the business bad...it just may mean that it isn't the type of business for you. THERE IS AN ART TO THIS BUSINESS and it takes time to learn it...pure excitement only goes so far. I will tell you this...I am not at the top of the company, I am a little less than halfway there and I have been doing this for 1 year. However I have made money in this business by hitting different product promotions. I hit part of my quick start bonus because I completed it within 60 days and not 30 days. I don't know who your upline was but honestly the best part of this business is that you work with people and the worst part of this business is you work with people. Sorry things didn't work out for you. I would suggest that you read the book "Your First Year In Netork Marketing" by Mark Yarnell ...It really addresses a lot of the issues you are talking about and can give you a different perspective (if your truly interested in making it to the top)

Stfu! To the ones defending it (5linx). As a TRUE business customer satisfaction is the most important part because of the FACT that customers are the ones who make YOU rich. So weather or not it's "You" individually fu*#*#'g someone over or not. The Company as a WHOLE...Is Responsible For It's Customers. So eat that...1link up your a**!... :?

You I really don't understand why people feel the need to find stuff to complain about such as customer service. There are not too many places out there that have great customer service. Shoot I work in a customer service position on my day job and I will be the first to say that I am guilty of not wanting to deal with people and have probably given bad customer service. It is going to happen no matter what company you deal with...because we are all human and when you are dealing with people with emotions....well that is just the nature. My question is...what are the products like? Mine have been great and I have had them for nearly a year.

I am also a rep and I have being trying the products as well as the customer service and it pretty much sucks. I would not recommend this to anyone even though I would love to make a lot of money but this is not what I would like my customers to go though whether it be the carriers fault or 5linx themselves.

Oscar,

I agree with you when you say that this business is not for everyone because it does require a lot of patience and you truly have to be willing to NOT count the amount of money that you put in. Again it is a 3-5 year commitment. However, I will add that just by going to the Nationals, Regionals, and studing the material online only gives you a foundation...it still requires you to go through other classes & courses such as the Train the Trainer (which I just completed after 8 months in the business) and I will tell you the type of training that you get there...is so much more advanced than what you see at a National or Regional Event. Since I have returned from that course (which is another out of pocket expense) my business has taken a huge LEAP!!! They say that 95% of all SVP's graduated from that course and after attended it...I understand why! Anyways, I wish you well in your future adventures.

I was with 5Linx for 1 year. I gave 100% on it and i'm telling you that 5linx is not a perfect business and works but is really involved. I invested over $3200 in one year i started June 2011 and decided to ended may 28th 2012. Part of the problem i did not have a good upline and also a svp around here in san diego. I've only made $137 ;$ I attend different regionals, i went to 2 nationals, i studied the material compensation, i had 1 meetinf a week. If you work this a part time it will take a long time to see the money. I'm thankful to God that a friend of mine introduce me to this new business Nerium is a real business in 6 week i've made $1237 and an ipad2. and its very simple. I don't feel I lose with 5linx instead i believe I learned a lot of things form them but the business is not for everyone even if you give 100% you'll have to wait and build your way up.
