TOP 20 DIRECT SELLING COMPANIES IN 2013

Born in New York in 1910 and currently having around 200 member-companies, the Direct Selling Association (DSA) published on its site in November, 2013 the Top 20 Largest Member-Companies of its association. This ranking was based on their 2012 sales. The DSA is committed to good business practices and the protection and promotion of its company members.

Since there are so many direct selling companies that are not members of DSA, the following companies do not really prove superiority in sales globally, if we were to include all players in the industry worldwide. Secondly, this DSA report does not consider the health of all its member-companies as evidenced in the inclusion of Avon, which is already considered dethroned as queen for over 125 years in this industry--according to reliable sources in the Interwebs.

At any rate, this DSA ranking is helpful in understanding why this 20 companies (arranged alphabetically) became top performers.
