The Best MLM Companies: What to Look For

We have NOT included every direct sales company in the above list. We will continue to update this page and add more MLMs over time. As you do your due diligence and research the different top network marketing companies and business opportunities, you’ll find that some MLMs have better products/services than others. You’ll find that some have a stronger track record than others. Some have seen controversy, and some have operated for decades maintaining a strong brand and reputation.

When reviewing top network marketing companies, research their:

  • Executive team: Who is the CEO? Does the company leadership have a strong track record?
  • Products / Services: Does the company genuinely have high quality products or services that are competitively priced for retail sale?
  • Company Growth / Stability: Does the company have growth momentum or are they fizzing out? How long have they been in operation?
  • Sales Team / Compensation Plan: Has the company attracted top network marketers? Is the company constantly tweaking and making changes to the compensation plan?
  • Upline Support: If you’re researching MLM teams and other independent reps to potentially join, what unique resources and support do they offer to help you build your business?

Success is More About You than Your Company

I know people that continue to jump from one MLM company to the next. They try to build a business with Company A, only to jump to Company B a few months later…

Assuming you chose a solid company to begin with, the company itself is likely not the issue or reason for your MLM failure. If it’s one of the top network marketing companies reporting millions in annual revenue (as many of the above companies are), it means that new distributors are joining, and products are getting sold.

There is more opportunity now than ever – especially with digital marketing and online recruiting.

Align yourself with a strong direct sales company, plant your flag, connect with your upline team, and start building your empire. If you want help from our team, you can apply here.
