What is the 5linx Opportunity?

5linx is a Network Marketing Company that has been around some time. 5linx has recently built some buzz in the industry due to the fact that it made the Inc. 500 top companies list because its sales grew more than 400% between 03 and 05.

This 5linx review will go beyond that hype and will be dedicated to teach you the principles you need to know when evaluating companies as it is more than certain that all 5linx distributors did not experience this level of growth. What 5linx does is acts as a vendor for existing services. Because of their connections with the providers and very low marketing expenses they are able to add discounts that you may not receive directly from the stores. The main 5linx products are VoIP and videophones. They also offer packages with cellular, satellite and internet companies.

My biggest concern about 5linx is it's compensation plan. It is very complex, requires many different levels to reach and I could see many distributors getting stuck for months making $50-$100 a month and giving up before they reach the point to make real money.

One very important thing YOU must KNOW before entering 5linx, or any other MLM, is that it is a long term business, not a lottery ticket. If you plan on running a Home Based Business you must know to be successful, you must be trained on how to run a Home Based Business, 5linx or any other.

You won't build a down line overnight. But if you know how to use technology to systematically build lists and how to use technology to systematically build trust with those in your lists you will find yourself building your network and down-line much faster than your up-line is.

You see its marketing that is the meat that will bring other distributors and clients to the table. The more knowledgeable you are about marketing the more you have to offer your team to set YOU apart from the thousands of other opportunities and teams available to join these days and age.

Another thing that worries me with 5linx is that their plan is not so original. Other companies are already using similar business models, offering similar deals.

This does not mean you cannot make money with 5linx you certainly can make lots of money if you know what you are doing. But you must know how to sell your own products. You must know how to be a leader to teach your down line. You must know how to use technology to open up your target market beyond your friends and family and into the infinite possibilities the internet has to offer.

I have become one of the top earners in the industry and maintained the position the past three years. No opportunity gave me my status. No Product. It was my "Marketing Secrets" that gained me the respect I have today.
