WorldLink Team fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
At time of publication, WorldLink Team’s website pitches a $149.95 founders fee. This is asked for without disclosing
any
information about the company.
Further research reveals WorldLinkTeam marketing presentations hosted by “Coach Ken”, aka Ken Kimes.
Kimes is cited as WorldLink Team’s Field Leader. In Kimes’ presentations, Kirby Cochran is cited as WorldLink Team’s CEO.
WorldLink Team marketing also cites Roger Grosser as its CEO and, as of 2021, company owner.
Why this crucial due-diligence information is hidden from consumers on WorldLink Team’s website is unclear.
BehindMLM first came across Kirby Cochran in 2012, as then CEO of
WakeUpNow
.
While providing a clear distinction between retail and affiliate subscribers, WakeUpNow was otherwise a convoluted mess.
Typically membership orientated schemes throw up a red flag due to a lack of distinction between retail members and company members however retail members are quite clearly defined here.
That said, the complexity and extremely poor manner in which the WakeUpNow compensation plan virtually overshadows this and drags the whole thing down as an income opportunity.
While retail was possible, it’s suspected that the majority of WakeUpNow member subscribers were affiliates. In other words, WakeUpNow operated as a pyramid scheme.

As we made progress, we continued to discover that Kirby Cochran’s deceptive actions had put the company in a position from which it could not recover.
In the end, his decisions for a privileged few outweighed the incredible heart and dedication of the many.
The month before it officially collapsed,
WakeUpNow filed a $70 million lawsuit against Cochran
. The specifics of Cochran’s alleged executive abuse were laid out in detail in the filed January 27th suit (our article on the suit is far too long to even summarise here).
Nine days after WakeUpNow filed suit, Cochran filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
WakeUpNow’s lawsuit against Cochran was settled as part of his bankruptcy proceedings in July 2015.
In September 2015 Cochran, alongside brother Gary Cochran, resurfaced as CEO of
Global Connection Network
.
