If 5Linx were a scam, do you think it would be on the Inc 500 list for four years in a row? (2006-2009) I don’t think that if 5Linx were a scam, Success from Home or Your Business magazine would dedicate the entire issue to the 5Linx opportunity.
Is it a legitimate argument to say that 5Linx is a pyramid because the people at the top make more money? What about Corporate America … the CEO and vice presidents don’t make more money than middle management and entry-level employees? If you can show me a business where the people at the top receive less compensation than the people at the bottom, then I will eat every word. If the same organizational structure is used in all businesses, why is 5Linx labeled a scam?
Who would make such a claim? I’ll tell you who … someone who claims to be a victim; someone who never started 5Linx or is trying to justify why they quit. People fail to try anything, not just network marketing.
Not everyone makes it to the NBA. All fashion designers do not leave their boutique. There are some real estate agents who never manage to sell a property. Most people who want to get in shape fail. So you wanted the truth? Yes, people fail at 5Linx, but the same thing happens when people try many other things in life.
What you need to ask yourself is ‘what did they do to fail?’ Did they receive the proper training? Were they using the best approaches? Did they use a different technique when they weren’t getting results than what they were using? Were the prospects put off because they were too aggressive or aggressive? Were they perceived as a leader or a needy and desperate person? These are things to consider when making the decision to join based on someone’s advice.
Network marketing is a performance-based industry. So if you do nothing, you won’t make money. If you do a little, you will earn a little. If you do a lot, you will earn a lot. The ones who say that 5Linx is a scam, simply put, are the ones who quit. These people are super critical and looking to find fault anywhere, because they feel inadequate because they couldn’t make it work. They quit smoking before they made any real money, so it will always be a mystery to them how to become financially free. The worst enemy of the person who tried and failed is someone who has succeeded. They are resentful and don’t want you to succeed where they failed.
They may claim that they are trying to protect you by giving you this information, but what they are really trying to do is protect themselves from a sense of failure by preventing you from trying and succeeding.
Another type of person who says that 5Linx is a scam is the person who has never done network marketing. The point of view of someone who has not personally experienced it is simply to give you their opinion from the outside looking in. Therefore, they can write or talk about it, but they cannot do it. In my book, that’s not good advice, because it’s just a rumor from someone who has never done it.
The last type of person to write and talk about 5Linx is the person who has succeeded. They are a valuable asset to you and their advice should be included. There is a big difference between someone who has been successful on a topic and someone who has been educated on a topic. The successful person knows what is important and what is not. They can also answer any questions that cannot be answered by the person who has failed or failed.
Don’t be one of the many people who lose millions of dollars, because that is ultimately what you will lose by not joining the community of people who know there is a better way. You won’t save a couple hundred or thousand dollars; you will simply lose the opportunity to be financially free.
