THE 5LINX PRODUCTS- ARE THEY REALLY THAT DIFFERENT


5 LINX boasts an extensive product portfolio. This is their 3 major product categories.

5Linx products

  • Home products (such as telecommunications)
  • Wellness products
  • Business products

What are the benefits of purchasing products from 5Linx?

The main reason is to ‘save’ on products and services that customers use every day.

The big question here is, is there really a saving at the end of the day?

For the end user to be able to afford a product or service at a lower price, the company would have to have some exclusivity from the respective merchant.

In this case, however, certain products can be sourced directly from the merchant without the need to go through 5LINX.

Here is what one member had to say.This is with regards to a business product and has to do with home security systems.

It’s called Protect America.

Are the 5 LINX PRODUCTS ANY DIFFERENT

It can pose a challenge to earn commissions if the product or service is readily available elsewhere or is directly available from the provider. Just some food for thought, if you are considering joining 5LINX.

Speaking of earning commissions, exactly how do you earn money with 5LINX? Coming up next.

THE 5LINX COMPENSATION PLAN


It’s not exactly cheap to get a 5LINX Business started. There are two membership options.

1, 5LINX IMR $249

2. 5LINX IMR $249 + $49.95 Platinum Discount Network(PDN)

What is the 5LINX Platinum Discount Network all about?

It’s a feature that gives one access to merchants who offer savings on:

  • Groceries
  • Entertainment
  • Auto repairs
  • Clothing
  • Home improvements, and even
  • Vacations

Business tools like the personal website and representative back office are included in the PDN membership.

Here is a summary of the 5LINX COMPENSATION PLAN

QUICK START BONUS

Recruit as many people as you can within your first 30 days and you earn a once-off bonus.e.g if you get 5 qualified IMR with 25 PERSONAL CUSTOMER POINTS, you get paid $1,000.

EARNED POSITION BONUS

Achieve a specific rank status within a certain time frame and you earn this bonus.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR(60 DAYS)$750

NATIONAL DIRECTOR(90 DAYS)$1,500

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT(180 DAYS)$5,000

Each of these levels requires you to have a certain amount of qualified IMR’s and customer points.

CUSTOMER ACQUISITION BONUS(CAB)

Help the IMR’s in your downline to achieve a higher rank and you, in turn, would earn a once-off CAB.

OPEN LINE BONUSES

Another bonus that is given to you, dependent on your efforts to help your downline grow their own downline. In other words, bring more recruits into the business WITHIN the first 30-days.

CUSTOMER MILESTONE BONUS

Get a certain amount of customer orders within a 30-day period and you can earn this bonus.

25 ORDERS$100

50 ORDERS- $250

COMMISSIONS ON RETAIL SALES

Sell 5LINX products to customers and you can earn commissions on the retail price.

Commissions are based on the number of personal customer points that are generated from the total sales.

5LINX Compensation plan, customer sales profits

Though it states, that there is a 25% commission, it’s not ALL yours. It’s shared with your upline. Bummer!

RESIDUAL COMMISSIONS

This is a percentage of the commission value of products and sales within your team.

That concludes my summary. The actual compensation plan is much more complicated than this. Should you want to know more, then you can check the video out below.

Bottom Line: Apart from the last three ways as mentioned above, the plan is focused heavily on recruiting, The more you recruit, the more you earn. 

Think that you have what it takes?

5LINX COMPLAINTS


When it comes to using some of these products, not many folks were happy with the services rendered.

The Globallinx is the 5linx package for your everyday telecommunications.

Complaints that have surfaced covered issues such as,

  • High taxes,
  • Calls breaking up,
  • Change of existing phones numbers(whereas there should be no change in the first place)

GLOBALINX COMPLAINTS AND 5LINX COMPLAINTS

IMR COMPLAINTS

It has been reported that the Federal Trade Commission received numerous complaints about the products and representatives who were ‘unresponsive to refunds.

In all fairness, the two incidents I highlighted above were resolved by 5LInx.

WHY LEAVE 5LINX IF YOU ARE MAKING MONEY?


If you were part of a company for 9 whole years and are making a good passive income from it, would you leave it?

That is what Steve and Pasha Carter did. They left the business. Here is a video that bears testimony to it. They do not go into the specifics though.

5LINX MAKES HEADLINES!


A while back, there was a story of a 5Linx worker laying a charge against a director of the company, claiming that she was sexually harassed.

Last year, news surfaced that 3 of the original co-founders of 5Linx were charged for accounts of fraud. Apparently, they were pocketing millions from investors to fund fake shell companies.

It was reported that the amount of stolen money could be in the region of $11 million.

(Read the full story here)

So, what does this mean for the company?

Well, at the moment they have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Apparently, it’s on hold, until further notice.

IS 5LINX LEGIT?-MY FINAL OPINION


Personally, I would seriously consider some of the red flags before signing up to 5Linx.

The registration fee is expensive. Furthermore, one of the tools that they give you is a generic marketing website.

If all the IMR’S are going to post their website links on social media to get business, then it can get pretty challenging for you to stand out. How do you market yourself differently? Do 5LINX teach you this?

⇒LEARN HOW TO MARKET YOURSELF ONLINE. IT’S WITHIN YOUR GRASP⇐

Then, with the controversies and complaints, and hearing stories of successful IMR’s leaving, this can put a damper on things.

Finally, the ultimate success formula in the 5linx business is the recruiting aspect. Get folks to join your downline. Teach them to duplicate what you are doing. Sounds simple.

Only thing is, not everyone is good at recruiting. It does not mean that you don’t want to be a success. Of course, you do! But for some people, recruiting is not for them,

Like me, I suck at recruiting. I have tried it out more than once and failed miserably.

⇒WANT TO START AN ONLINE BUSINESS WITHOUT THE NEED TO RECRUIT.THIS COMPANY SHOWS YOU HOW⇐

Ready to take the 5LINX challenge or will you hold it off for a while?

Do not be discouraged, if you are one that does not like to recruit and would find it hard to build this type of business.

I can show you one business platform that teaches you to build an online business:

  • Without the need to recruit
  • Without having to leave your armchair
  • That can be built on your hobby or passion

The best part, unlike 5Linx, is that you can test it out for free. And it’s got a 13 year proven track record (No sexual harassment issues)

  1. Hello,

    As much as it is not the in thing right now, I still would not join this types of products have gotten me scared this days and this product is very expensive in my own opinion even if they provide you with a website I don’t think it is worth it.

    So i completely back you here it is not safe.

  2. First of all, Roopesh, thank you for introducing me to 5Linx, a company that I had not encountered before. And thanks for, shall I say, opening my eyes about its mission and its ethics.
    I would not want to take the sexual harassment allegations of one person into consideration when judging the good practice of a whole company. Any reputable company would take a distance from the mistakes of the one individual.
    I must say, the frame structure sounds very rewarding, whether you recruit sub-teams to the company or whether you just sell on the discounted merchandise. My qualm is with the fact that the merchandise, products and services seem to be readily available elsewhere, and for a retail price cheaper than what 5Linx offers you after discount.
    It seems to me that truly when the market base purchases using 5Linx links, they end up paying an additional percentage purely to enrich the pockets of 5Linx owners. In passing, do you know who they are?
    I think, Roopesh, after your review, I might give 5 Linx a pass. Thank you.

    • Hi there

      I respect your opinion regarding 5Linx.

      As you said, at the end of the day, its all about getting a better price for the things that we need or use everyday. And if one can get it cheaper elsewhere, then it makes sense to get it from there.

      Appreciate your time in commenting.

      Kind Regards and Take Care
