Top 10 MLM Companies
Here it is: the definitive list of the top MLM companies. Please understand that ‘best MLM’ is not necessarily the same as ‘best MLM’. That is a decision that only you can make.
Posted on Direct Selling News, the full list consists of 68 of the top MLM companies that make over $ 100 million a year in sales. Very impressive. Anyone who says that this is somehow a flimsy industry clearly stems from ignorance and self-deception. I have included the top 10 MLMs for your interest.
Unsurprisingly, Avon and Amway are the leaders. Interestingly, not long ago Amway was number 1, with Avon trailing behind. But in recent years, Avon has made a comeback. Not that Amway is doing that badly! Last year’s sales were up 8 percent, which is great considering its size and age.
The United States and Japan take most of the companies submitted, with 44 and Japan 14, with a total of 58 out of 68.
This list shows that collectively the top 30 represent over $ 48 billion in wholesale revenue! It’s not bad at all. See if your favorite company appears here.
