The Top 50 Network Marketing/Direct Sales Companies in Sales

Have you ever wondered where the company whose products you sell/market ranks in the global economy?  Direct Selling News, published by John Fleming, has.  The online magazine recently published its “Global 100” list for 2009.  The list, which ranks the top-grossing companies that distribute via direct sales/network marketing, identifies such metrics as number of distributors, compensation plan and sales performance.

Using data from Lexis Nexis, Hoovers, Dun & Bradstreet, professional researchers, Standard & Poor’s, personal interviews, corporate websites and others, Direct Selling News made every attempt to verify their research before ranking the companies.
