What Others Are Saying About 5Linx
I have found reviews both positive and negative about 5Linx.
I actually get a “kick” out of reading some of the negative reviews, because I normally find some crazy statements that actually give a positive aspect to the company.
I was reading one 5Linx hater’s review and I found several statements I would like to delve into further.
He stated the average compensation for members each year is $450.
We must remember that some who sign up did so to get their products and services, not to make money.
Also, you will always have some who sign up and do nothing.
He made it seem that it was wrong that a person had to pay to be a representative.
It is true that there is a cost to join, but how many businesses could you start for $100?
Now when I look at many other factors, I see that many establishments have given good ratings to 5Linx.
As a matter of fact, the Better Business Bureau gives the company an A rating, and they are also highly rated with the Direct Selling Association where they are a member.
Now like always, I suggest you do your own research, and towards the end of this post I will provide a link to the 5Linx website.
But overall, I see that they are considered a reputable and honest MLM company.
I want to share a couple of testimonials:
Curt Anderson who used Hi5 products said this, “It wasn’t like I just started working out yesterday. It wasn’t even as if this was my first time taking a supplement. But this was my first time seeing a quick impact in areas of my body I had been working on for years.”
And Diamond Platinum Senior Vice President Tishina Anderson said, “Be careful what you put in front of a Lion. We just might devour it.”
Final Thoughts
Personally, I believe 5Linx looks to be a great MLM company.
