Direct Selling News’ Customer-Centric Recognition (CCR) program celebrates companies that are leading the way toward a customer-centric future for the industry. Qualifying companies utilize business models that boast high customer-to-distributor ratios and prioritize customer sales.
We need the mantra for this new decade to be that we are a customer-centric industry where we build strong retail bases, and the opportunity seekers follow. The more satisfied customers we have, the more successful distributors will be.
Congratulations to the following companies:

DSN Customer-Centric Recognition (CCR) Program Criteria
The CCR Program will be based on a company’s *Customer-to-Distributor Ratio taking into consideration the following:
*Definition of “Active” Customers & Distributors
- Distributor — someone who DOES have a distributor agreement in place
- Customer — someone who DOESN’T have a distributor agreement in place
- “Active” means each Customer and Distributor must have made a product purchase during the last 6 months
Active customer and distributor counts are limited to those in the U.S. and Canada. In order to protect the integrity of the CCR Program for all participants, DSN reserves the right to suspend or discontinue CCR Program recognition of any company undergoing published legal actions or regulatory disputes (including any settlements of such).
Customer-to-Distributor Ratio Recognized Categories
Gold Status — 5 to 1 or more
Platinum Status — 10 to 1 or more
