LEHI, Utah, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The news appears grim. 9.5 million jobless. 84,000 jobs cut in September alone. A five-year unemployment rate high of 6.1 percent. And yet, as virtually every job category is making cuts, at worst, or being extremely cautious, at best, direct selling and XanGo, LLC, are thriving. In fact, so much so, that XanGo recently hit its 1 millionth distributor.

"In what many may see as a void of options in this economy, there is a very real and lucrative opportunity, and that opportunity is direct selling," said XanGo Chief Executive Officer Robert S. Conlee. "If you believe in the product and are prepared to work hard, you will succeed. I've seen it time and again. As a matter of fact, we've seen it 1 million times at XanGo."

An estimated 15 million Americans participate in direct selling totaling more than $30 billion in sales, according to the Direct Selling Association (DSA), where the majority are independent business people or "micro-entrepreneurs" who sell the products or services of a company they choose to represent. The wellness product category, in particular, has been experiencing gains as reflected in the latest full-year sales results.

"Direct selling companies like XanGo offer a number of advantages," said professor of business ethics Larry Chonko, Ph.D., University of Texas Arlington. "They have a proven business model, know what works in the field, have great products, know their markets and provide everything an entrepreneur needs to be successful."

By way of example, the XanGo compensation plan provides for 50 percent of each XanGo product sold going straight back to commission payments for distributors. Qualified distributors also benefit from a global bonus pool paid quarterly. And in a time of off-the-charts rising costs, distributors get tax write-offs for expense
