Fast Growth Propels Direct Selling Brands onto Inc. 500

BY DSN Staff | August 21, 2014 | read / Daily News

Inc. magazine has announced its 2014 Inc. 500|5000, and the exclusive ranking once again features several direct selling brands. The Inc. 5000 is a list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, with the Inc. 500 representing a special ranking of companies in the top 10 percent.

Limited to U.S.-based, privately held companies, the Inc. 5000 measures revenue growth from 2010–2013. This year’s list includes direct sellers Plexus Worldwide (No. 8); Jeunesse Global (No. 258); It Works! (No. 290); North American Power (No. 476); Ambit Energy (No. 2074); WorldVentures (No. 2333); Viridian Energy (No. 2381); 5LINX (No. 2916); YOR Health (No. 3528) and Isagenix (No. 3764). The full Inc. 500 list will appear in the September 2014 issue of Inc. magazine.

Plexus Worldwide, the highest ranking direct seller on the list, got its start eight years ago in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has since expanded into Canada and Australia. With a strong focus on weight-loss and pain-relief products, Plexus is the No. 2 health company in this year’s ranking. The direct seller generated 16,458 percent growth over three years, closing out 2013 with $159.8 million in revenue.

“At Plexus, our mission is to enhance the health, wealth and happiness of our Ambassadors and employees. And we’re seeing that happening across the country,” Plexus CMO Alex Clark shared in a recent feature for DSN. “Eventually we’ll see it happen across the world. I anticipate being here for a long time because what Plexus has is a true partnership between its executives and Ambassadors.”

Based in Altamonte Springs, Florida, Jeunesse Global recorded 1,788 percent growth over the past three years. Jeunesse has expanded aggressively into 92 markets since launching in 2009. The company’s personal-care and nutrition products generated sales of $224 million in 2013.

With three-year growth of 1,565 percent, It Works! ranked No. 290 in its fourth consecutive year on the Inc. 5000. The company generated revenue of $456.2 million in 2013 and recently upsized its corporate headquarters to a new facility in Bradenton, Florida. It Works! markets a line of health and wellness products anchored by its Ultimate Body Applicator, a 45-minute tightening and toning wrap.

In 2011, Forbes named North American Power to its list of America’s Most Promising Companies. The U.S. energy provider has lived up to its promise with 991 percent growth over the past three years. North American Power’s retail electricity and natural gas services generated $263.2 million in revenue last year.
