The DSN ranking of companies for 2012 is now complete and posted on our website. On April 3 of this past month we had the honor of once again hosting over 300 guests at the 2012 DSN Global 100 Banquet.

Many have chosen the direct selling method of distribution as the core way to make their products and services available to the public.

As we continue to receive submissions for the 2012 DSN Global 100 listing, it is most exciting to observe the growth that has occurred, especially when we see record growth in many companies.

In mid-December, just after we went to press with the January 2013 issue, our industry and its executives were assailed by another short seller attacking a prominent direct selling company with accusations reminiscent of an old movie that has seen its day of reruns.

Happy New Year! It’s here!
As we start any new year there is always much to reflect on and many new goals and objectives to strive toward. Because of you, we know the stories we tell will continue to keep all informed of the realization that even in the most challenging of times our industry will continue to demonstrate, through the opportunities offered, that growth in its many forms is still the foundation upon which the direct selling channel is built.

Reflections have already started to fill our minds even though the year is not over as we go to press with the final issue for 2012. We have witnessed the phenomena of new company successes, constant growth among many companies and of course some challenges.
