You have been approach!
A lot of people think that when you have a chance to start a business it free. Lets do real talk.
If you want to invest a grocery store it will cost you money to get started. Lets say the investment is $100,000 do you have that kind of money laying around? Well look at this business another way. Low investment and you have to go to work just like you work your job but you must follow instructions if you want to be successful.
There are a lot of companies out there that use the same principle and maybe you have not experience them just yet. You have to be a leader in any business opportunity you take on. Many people are followers and wonder why they did not make any money in a business opportunity and that is why they fail. Let us know that we are distributors like a Walmart or JCPennys.
You have products to markets just like any other business. Just do your part in order to be successful.
You are an Independent Marketing Representative not a Dependent Marketing Representative. I am not saying not to depend on you up line to help you but remember you must do your part also.

- Energy at the national conventions
- User friendly website
I did not have access at home but I had excellent reception at gym.
- Teevee service because if i travel i can take it with me
I keep getting the run around
I’m not pissed, I more upset and fustrated then anything. Every time I will call you guys about a sport sponsor ship and they will put me on hold for about 10 minuets then they will tell me to call customer service.
It is so frustrating to keep giving me the run around. If they don’t or have the answer just let me know.
Instead you waste my time. Please call me at(760) 985-**** Ronner Williams
The TeeVee box is very problematic
I bought into the TeeVee program based on the premise of obtaining television access for less money than traditional cable or satetillite service. Unfortunately the service was inconsistent with frequent internet interruptions.
The screen would freeze and only restart after having to reboot the system by disconnecting the electric connection. After a while the TeeVee box began malfunctioning by not staying connected, with the power just going off inspite of being connected to the electricity. I finally reached my breaking point with paying for a service I was not receiving after the customer service rep. informed to get a new box, I would have to send it to the factory in Rochester for testing, and if a replacement box would be sent if the device could not be repaired.
The problem with this is I would be paying for a service I was not receiving during the repair process. I cancelled the service and would not recommend it to anyone.
- Poor product
IT'S JUST SCAM, 9 out of 10 actually lose money.
I was approached by at least 6 people that I know very well in the past twelve years about 5Linx. They sell the company and their services as if it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
But it's nothing but over priced generic products and they try to lock you into a contract. You have to pay to join the company, you have to pay for their training seminars. It's just amazing to me how so many people fall for this or maybe there are just a lot of lazy gullible people out there. They flaunt the people who actually made money in the organization, not knowing that they are the reason why the very few made money.
Just shameful, it's very prevalent among lower income urban people looking for an easy way to make money, but it never materializes. Poor Suckers.
TeeVEE with 5Linx
This service is a FRAUD! We canceled this service prior to the trial period ending and they refused to refund our money and still charged our card.
They also refused to cancel the service. Do not get this service. The customer service representative spoke with her manager and she refused to take a call from me stating that she will not refund per company instructions. I asked "why do you have it in the agreement if you cancel prior to, you will not be charged." No answer was given.
I am calling my bank to report this as fraud as well as contacting the Better Business Agency.
I repeat!! Do not get sucked in to this product or service.
Preferred solution: Full refund

Not a good experience
I ordered Teevee from a friend who is a rep. I was never able to log into my account again from the first time I logged in.
I realized that I mistakenly left a number off my email address so because I could not log in I called to ask about having my account reset and email address corrected. I was told my email address was fixed and They gave me a different username and password than the one I created which still didn't work. The rep told me she had to put in a ticket to resolve the issue and she would call me the next day. I called back the next day and my email address was not corrected as I was told before and they told me they could not change my email address if I could not log into my account and would have to cancel the entire plan and I could not get a refund because Teevee is not a 5 linx product.
Mind you I haven't used the service once since I got it and they cannot do something so basic as to reset an account which I do not think was my fault because the log in I created is not the login they had me use and the one I created did not work anymore and they were sending the reset code to the wrong email address because they were unable to change my email address. I have never worked with a company so limited in their abilities but they can take your money but these people cant change an email address! As long as you have someones bank information you should be able to do anything to keep that customer. I bought a Roku stick I did not need and I'm out of almost $200.
I just found it very under handed and they had no care at all about me losing my money and they could not figure this situation out. I was trying to be supportive of a friend but unfortunately shes going to lose any future business from me because the owners of this company are incapable to handling very simple matters.
Preferred solution: Full refund
RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY
As most of you guys I was brought in by a family member,once in I had spent close to $500.00 buy products that I really had no use for but I bought them only because I trying to obtain my next position.
Long story short once I contacted the CSR to inquire about my new position / ATM card I was told to keep selling cause I still didnt have any funds due. At that time I ask the CSR if my family member was making any money and she noted that she had only made a few dollars but my family member made it sound like she was rolling in the cash.
Lucky for me I contacted the CSR before my initial 10 days was up and was able to receive all of my funds back.
This company is so bad that it will make your own family lie to you.
I'm sure there are some good stories but if you are bringing new people into this company just be upfront and honest about what to expect.
Another thing, 5LINX's products are not offered at a rate that anyone outside of the company would want to buy and some products are just useless.
Greed
The system at FLINX disproportionately enriched the higher echelon. The Bentley.
the Benz, the $10,000.00 per month and annual vacations. These were red herrings used to attract people to the business. They started taking back points given for buying and attend conventions. Original guidelines for promotions were repeatedly changed to make it harder to reach higher levels.
5LINX made it easier to get in but harder to advance, frustrated newbies quit in frustration. This created a degree of stress to maintain compensation levels at the top. I called out 2 different speakers for misrepresenting information at meetings.
I warned the call center that this day is coming. Awaiting the class action suits.

I sit hear and read all these interesting comments and it just baffles me at the way people communicate their feelings. If anyone has ACTUALLY taken the time to find out about 5linx then you would know that it was founded by 3 VERY successful {{REDACTED}} guys and for the last NINE years in a row it has been listed on the Inc.
500/5000. Now for the business minded people I don't have to tell you what that is. For the rest of the people (ie. people that say this is a scam) I will teach you.
The Inc. 500/5000 monitors ONLY the top privately held businesses in the United States (just as the Fortune 500 monitors the publicly traded businesses). There are over 22.7 MILLION privately helpd businesses here in the US. 5linx is ranked #2,917.
Now that takes away the "SCAM" thing. Please take that off the table.
Next, this is a BUSINESS. Once you come into business, YES, you actually have to WORK!.
I know some people don't understand that part. Once again, this is a BUSINESS. If you don't make it here then YOU didn't do YOUR part. End of that discussion.
When you come into this business, you are ASSUMED to be an adult and can govern yourself accordingly. Some cannot and then blame it on the company. I usually am NOT a betting person but I would bet that these SAME people have also NOT succeeded at their current careers (so blame it on that system also). Please take responsibility for your actions.
If you CANNOT comprehend the meaning of work then this industry is NOT for you. Does it WORK? I have been in 5linx for 1 year. Have I made A LOT more than I have put in?
Well let's just say that I QUIT my $50K+/year job and doing 5linx full time. It is up to YOU to change YOUR life. Please do NOT blame my Company. You can friend me on Facebook to verify me.
My name is Kirk Wheeler on Facebook! And I APPROVE of this message.

It's not a business.. It's a pyramid scheme.
Businesses sell products based on supply and demand. 5linx is selling reucruitments if you don't line up people in your pyramid you don't profit. They brainwash people and chastise nay sayers they break up relationships with families and loved ones for the price of a new recruit... Those who are successful good luck what good is success when you have no morals or integrity.
If you cause people to have hardships they will quit . Business is supply and demand.
This isnt that this is a system taking money out of desperate poor ignorant people money causing hardships for them just so a few can be feed. Not a venture for those with a good heart only for doggy dogg people with no moral characters.
