It’s always a surprise to see who will be among Forever Living’s top 10 countries, and this year was no exception! The final two spots came down to FLP Brazil and FLP Japan – with each Country Manager standing on stage together, anxious to hear who would be number one. Once the video rolled, cheers erupted backstage from the Japanese distributors who realized they had retained the top sales spot as FLP’s Number One international country in sales. Congratulations once again to all of the Distributors of FLP Japan, and to Country Manager Akihiko Tanaka, for another great year in sales!
1- JAPAN
"We are very much honored to have received the No.1 Country Award, especially at the FLP’s 30th Anniversary International Super Rally! I am proud of our Distributors, who have worked so hard to enable FLP Japan to become the No.1 country again this time. I would also like to congratulate FLP Brazil who has chased us up so close. In fact, there are many Japanese descendants working as FLP Distributors in Brazil. While they have a great opportunity to exceed FLPJ next year, we will also work harder to keep the No.1 spot. It is great that we can work together to contribute to the future growth of entire FLP International Family!! "
Akihio Tanaka – Country Manager
2. BRAZIL
"We are very happy to be #2 in Forever's worldwide sales. This is a great achievement, and we are proud of all of our Distributors and staff in Brazil. It is also a great motivation to work even harder to achieve #1 in sales in the years to come. We would like to thank Rex, Gregg, Garin and the international staff for all their support and help."
Fernando và Ana Helena Junqueira – Country Manager
3. HUNGARY
"After 11 years of excellent operations, FLP Hungary has reached its highest success on the 30th birthday of our company. Parallel to the Beijing Olympics, we won the bronze medal in the Forever Olympics in Phoenix. Among the individual contestants, we have to highlight the achievement of Miklós Berkics, who won the gold medal in the Profit Sharing event. We obtained powerful motivation through that success, and we look forward to the future with great enthusiasm and promise to always fly higher and higher."
Sandor Milesz – Country Manager
4- GERMANY / AUSTRIA
"What a Rally! A fantastic, unique event filled with FOREVER family and team spirit! This year’s International Super Rally in Phoenix, the birthplace of FOREVER, was the most exciting, moving and biggest Rally ever! This year it was a very special experience to see the spectacular headquarters – the FOREVER Corporate Plaza!
We are proud and honored to be Number 4 in the FOREVER world. We are filled with motivation and enthusiasm, since we belong near the top of FOREVER, and will be again next year!
We look forward to the 2009 International Super Rally in Dallas and will strive to be excellent every day to make the next Rally even better!"

Ulf Oscarson, Country Manager
6- UNITED KINGDOM
"From all of us in the UK and the group from Iceland, thank you! The 2008 Super Rally in Phoenix was the best yet. We are very proud of our recognition as the Number 6 country in the Forever World. We have returned with a greater energy and vision, focused on climbing to 5th or 4th place next year.
The logistics of looking after the numbers of Distributors that you received from so many countries, is mind blowing. We appreciate very much all of your efforts and the dedication that you show to all of us. From all of us here, you’re the best! We look forward to Dallas next year."
Bob Parker – Country Manager
7- MEXICO
"We are proud, after many years, to continue holding 7th place in total sales for our company…but Mexico believes we can climb higher than that in upcoming years!"
Larry & Nuria Rubin – Country Manager
8- ROMANIA
"Ten years ago we attended our first Super Rally, the 20th Anniversary of FLP International. It was just the two of us among thousands of successful and enthusiastic Distributors. Now, 10 years later, more than 120 Distributors represented Romania at the Super Rally for another great anniversary: 30 years of Forever! Last year we made the promise to climb another step in the Top 10 of the best Forever countries in the world. The commitment, dedication and hard work of our Distributors turned this promise into reality. Being Number 8 in the world is an honor, as well as an impulse for Romania to keep up the good work and achieve more.
On behalf of all the Romanian Distributors who took part at the Super Rally in Phoenix, we want to send our special thanks to all those involved in the organization of this event and for their efforts in making it one to remember. Our thoughts of gratitude and appreciation also go to Rex, who is always an example of generosity, kindness, respect, and a source of motivation and energy for all of us; and to Gregg and Aidan for being always close to us during all these years! See you next year in Dallas!"
Gabor & Dora Szocs – Country Manager
9- FRANCE
"French Distributors and staff are very proud to have achieved the #9 Top Country award and to have been part of the Top 10 for three years now! This position is the result of teamwork and total commitment, involvement and dedication to our business. Forever is the best opportunity we have ever known, and we will surely keep on sharing this opportunity with people around us. Our potential is very huge and this is just the beginning... by continuing to push, we will surely reach for next year’s number one spot!"
Philippe Decottignies – Country Manager
