Top MLM companies – Which is the best MLM company to join?

Corey Augenstein has produced a Best MLM Companies issue in Network Marketing Today’s special issue for the last 15 years. The next issue should be out shortly. The 2007/2008 Edition listed the top 9 companies in the industry, or Distributor’s Choices. We briefly review each company, based on some of the latest company information:

1. USANA Health Sciences (Number one Choice for the 10th Year Running). USANA was founded in 1992 by a scientist, Dr. Myron Wentz as a manufacturer of high-quality nutritional supplements, and now is operating in fourteen markets internationally. Net sales in 2008 were approximately $429 million. USANA’s compensation plan is based on the binary system.

The company produces a nutritional drink made from the Brazilian acai berry aDallin Larson receives E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year, 2009nd brought in $854 million in revenue in 2008.

Would any of these companies be a good fit for an entrepreneur just starting out? It is interesting to note that one of last year’s winners may have already disappeared. So perhaps it would be a good idea to choose carefully. It is also interesting to note that Mr. Augenstein reported in this issue that “I could only find about 32 companies to consider for my Best Companies List..” And that is out of the hundreds of MLM companies currently operating.

Where does your company stack-up if you’ve been around awhile? Are you in the top 10? In either case, the secret to MLM success after choosing a company that you can develop a passion about is having an effective marketing system.

For too long, network marketers have ignored the crucial aspect of effectively marketing their business. This can take the form of either online or local/offline activities, but all activity should eventually be sent to a an effective sales funnel, the best of which are currently powered online.
