PALMETTO — One of the fastest-growing companies on the Gulf Coast, It Works Global, has made the $100 Million Growth Club published by Direct Selling News.

The Palmetto-based multilevel marketing firm sells a line of skincare and nutrition products. It's one of 18 companies on the publication's Global 100 list that grew sales by more than $100 million in a year, according to a release. The firm, which recently moved into a new headquarters, had $456 million in sales in 2013, up 128% from $200 million in 2012. It's now No. 27 on the Direct Selling News top 100.

The top 100 ranking, says It Works CEO Mark Pentecost, was a goal he set in late 2011. “I'll never forget that day near the end of 2011 when I met with members of our team — both corporate and in the field — and we made one decision that will forever be a milestone in our company history,” Pentecost says in a release. “We had one message from the top down, and we worked hard to stay focused. That is how we continued to see phenomenal growth.”

It Works was founded in 2001. Pentecost was named the Business Observer's Entrepreneur of the Year in 2013 for the Sarasota-Bradenton region.
