The Business Model
YEP’s unique and powerful hybrid business model works with the efficiency and speed of a P2P Direct Sales Affiliate model, as well as with the power of a B2B line that provides exclusive solutions to businesses and brands.
The YEP Difference
Whether we look at our P2P or B2B initiatives, we believe YEP stands above in these verticals by the development and utilization of the YEP System. A proprietary digital system that allows YEP’s salesforce to tap into data resources, innovative lead generation tools, world class leadership, training, and a global community that catalyzes individual efforts.
Through this system, YEP has built not only an exponentially growing network of professionals that acts as a knowledgeable salesforce, but also has the opportunity to improve each individual’s reach and conversion rates, maximizing customer retention, and new customer acquisition.
Members get immediate access to state of the art brands and marketing materials, automated and replicated websites, social media marketing tools, incentive marketing solutions, and an array of verticals both digital and non-digital to choose from.
The Affiliate Base
YEP’s global affiliate base is active in several countries in several continents. People joining YEP or any of the affiliate-based verticals are people looking to start their own business, people working in direct sales and affiliate marketing, people looking to supplement their income through online business opportunities and team builders looking to develop a team under the YEP System.
The Customer Base
YEP’s global customer base can be divided into categories based on the different verticals offered by YEP.
FLUX & UTOPIX attract people looking to improve their health and performance naturally and holistically, people looking for natural alternatives for pain relief, mood support, sleep aid, and weight loss support.
TripValet Incentives offers incentive marketing to reward your customers or clients, helps you attract new customers and increase your referral rates.
YEP Tribe attracts people looking for business education and development, personal development, community support, visibility, and marketing, and to become part of an active entrepreneurial network.
GCN And Have More Sales attract medium to large sized businesses looking for scalability, staffing solutions, and salesforce development.
Markets
YEP taps onto the power of a multi-market strategic approach by developing multiple key verticals that operate under the same system, and empowers both the P2P affiliate field and the B2B salesforce with wider reach, higher conversion rates and a huge set of marketing and sales tools developed in-house by YEP executives and their teams.
Please take a look at some of the industries YEP is currently a part of and refer to each vertical to understand the strategies used to capture each market segment:
Online Education - The global Online Education market size is projected to reach $245.9 billion by 2026, from USD 153.18 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 8.2% during 2021-2026, according to Valuates Reports.
CBD - Grand View Research reported that the global cannabidiol market size was valued at USD 2.8 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2% from 2021 to 2028.
Due to its healing properties, the demand for cannabidiol (CBD) for health and wellness purposes is high, which is a major factor driving the market growth. In addition, the rising acceptance and use of products due to government approvals is a major factor expected to boost production for CBD-infused products.
Natural Wellness - The global complementary and alternative medicine market size was valued at USD 82.27 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.03% from 2021 to 2028, according to Grand View Research.
The market is projected to gain momentum in the coming years owing to the changing regulatory scenario, coupled with robust government initiatives, resulting in the establishment of strong transnational connections across healing pathways linking global, national, and local movements regarding alternative medicine.
