What Is Our Co-Op Association of YTB Independent Business Owners?

The Global Expansion Team (Team G.E.T.) has formed a co-op association of YTB Independent Business Owners (hereafter called IBOs), who have come together to provide a mutually supportive environment for each other.

The Global Expansion Team’s co-op association helps new YTB IBOs achieve control over their new business, but with the support of a team of people who are facing the same challenges and want to pool their enthusiasm and expertise. Together…we help to overcome one of the most discouraging features of a new business owner – isolation.

Team G.E.T. lowers the bar for becoming a successful YTB Business Owner, and opens up new horizons for people who have ambition but who lack the skills or confidence needed to set off entirely on their own – or who simply want to carry on an independent economic activity but within a supportive group context. We provide new YTB business owners with an easy transition from inactivity to self-employment and financial freedom.

Our co-op association is united based on the values of "self-help, self-responsibility, solidarity, democracy and equality" and the co-operative principles of “voluntary and open membership; democratic member control; member economic participation; autonomy and independence; education and training; co-operation among co-operatives; and social concern for community”.

We believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.

Membership: Our team is an informal Co-Op association of YTB IBOs. Membership is open to any active YTB IBO.

A supply chain is a system of activities involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. YTB’s E-Commerce Business Center puts Team G.E.T. directly in the supply chain of hundreds of multi-million dollar, multi-national corporations.

Benefits:

- Opportunity to conduct global business on the world-wide web- Explosive trends in online retail, baby boomer habits, home-based business, and

social media- Commonality of YTB/ZamZuu products and services—same online shopping…same

buying habits- Unrestricted access to vendors and industries on the internet to buy and make/save

Agents and multiple streams of incomeCEO-like compensation plan—performance based with no upper income limits

- Company-paid health and insurance benefits for top performers—guaranteed issue

The Global Expansion Team Co-Op Association

Purpose: Provide a supportive business environment for YTB IBOs to build a global distribution network of YTB E-Commerce Business Centers. The co-op association pools talents & skills to achieve personal and team goals. The more YTB E-Commerce Business Center’s we sell…the larger the global distribution network becomes, and consequently our Merchants are able to sell more goods and services to our network of Affiliates. They Love Us! The co-op association is uniquely postured to secure a vital position in the electronic supply-distribution chain of a trillion dollar 3 rd Party (3PL) Distribution industry!

Team GET Business Model

Our company is committed to serving the needs of the global marketplace. o What do you want to buy today?

Team GET is leading the global charge to electronically connect e-commerce. Our logistic solutions evolve around the online, mobile customer. We bring power to the people.

New E-commerce Business Model

The new commerce model accepts the premise that the customer is king. Our e-commerce philosophy is centered around the notion that customers will be the ultimate drivers of the supply chain - pulling what they need from it ... when they need it ... how they need it ... and on their terms and conditions.

GET Vision

Our vision is to be the #1 global facilitator of e-commerce. A mover of goods and services.

Our goal is to electronically connect to millions of online customers. Our primary focus is on the human touch - service, quality and customer relationships. Our independent business owners are the difference. The dedication of our people is achieved through two co-op principles: business ownership and training. Independent Business Owner can also buy YTB stock. This promotes excellent service because every business owner as a stockholder is working for his or her own business.

GET is building a flexible organization that allowed people to function as teams. Management is pulling together small, nimble teams to provide leadership and to solve ad hoc problems. This is something we're used to at Team GET... our IBOs are entrepreneurial business agents – free to solve customer problems and meet their needs in whatever way necessary.

The GET Competitive Advantage

Our role is to integrate our merchants' supply chains YTB IBOs and affiliates...to create a seamless, profitable flow of commerce on the web.

GET is in the customer satisfaction business, with customer needs being our driving force.

Globalism... Connectivity... Service: None of these factors stands alone in providing value to e-commerce. But when they are combined in GET logistics solutions, they become the powerful enablers of the new global commerce model.
