Home meetings are intimidating to a lot of people. But in AIM’s 26 years of existence, they remain the best way to reach out to local people. They have the ability to provide a casual, warm, and friendly environment where others can learn and grow in their understanding of the AIM products.

Don’t be afraid to host a home meeting. Start with a few friends and other AIM Members and try your message and presentation on them. You will discover what works for you and will eventually adopt a theme or direction for future meetings with folks you don’t know so well.

When people are comfortable they are more likely to open up to ask questions, share testimonies, and exchange ideas. Some AIM Members have incorporated healthy cooking classes, exchanging healthy recipes, or sharing healthy meals with each other during these home meeting learning times. AIM products as door prizes are always popular. There are a number of AIM videos that can be viewed to introduce guests to the AIM story. Find one or two you like and let AIM’s professional videos tell their story. Whatever you do, be sure to keep it simple, relaxed, and pressure-free. Being too pushy or providing too much detailed information is overload for many people. AIM products will sell themselves if you give them a chance to do so. Always include your name, contact information, and your AIM identification number on all literature and materials distributed. You are the face of AIM to your guests.

AIM Director Judy Rowe from Springfield, Oregon, is a believer in the value of home meetings to share and spread the word about AIM products. If you are comfortable talking to people about something you believe in, then putting together a home meeting is not as daunting as you might think. Judy says there are a few basic steps in making it happen. You need to invite guests, give them a reason to attend, demonstrate something useful and interesting, and have them leave with solid, reliable information. Judy builds her home meetings around the idea of good water and a few tested and true AIM products.

Invitation: Ask guests to come to an evening to de-stress, relax, and enjoy a foot soak in AIM Cell Wellness Restorer™ while enjoying some healthy treats. Who doesn’t want wellness, who doesn’t want to feel restored? Who doesn’t want to eat?

Content: Remember in school when your teacher told you that the more senses you use in learning about something, the more likely you are to retain the information? Successful home meetings are no different. Judy says guests need to “experience” as much as possible, to “see” a change when possible, to “feel” a result, to “hear” a testimony, to go home with “simple” handouts to understand and relate to the new information. Provide them with a chart or map (a plan of action if you will) that if followed will improve their health. It is about reaching them so they can be excited about what they heard and saw. Guests leave the meeting knowing and understanding something they did not know previously.

How do I do this? Judy stresses the basic AIM products that will change a body the quickest. Water is the foundation of every cell and is important in getting the most from the AIM products. AIM products are best transported through the body with water for optimum delivery to the cells. Water, water everywhere … but here is a chance to talk about AIM water. While guests’ feet are soaking in AIM Cell Wellness Restorer™, AIM Prill™ water sprayers are being passed around to mist the face, hands, and arms. Guests are now “feeling” renewed. They are truly “experiencing” it. 

Judy also demonstrates AIM BarleyLife® in regular tap water versus AIM Prill™ water. Guests “see” it mixes differently; they “taste” the difference. Combining good water with a great product such as AIM BarleyLife® is a natural. Eight glasses of water per day are essential for good health and digestion. Water is good for us, AIM Prill™ water is even better.

Digestion is a theme at Judy’s meetings. Most people have a general understanding of digestion. They grasp that food goes from the mouth, to the stomach, and eventually to a cell, and that unneeded or unwanted food is in time eliminated. They know that proper digestion is essential. They all have probably had their own digestive problems at some point.

So, Judy uses a demonstration with AIM PrepZymes® to drive home her point about proper digestion and how AIM products can help. She cooks oatmeal in small 4-ounce containers. She then opens four AIM PrepZymes®, stirs them in, and lets them work while everyone is talking. After a time, she shows the oatmeal and AIM PrepZymes® in the container; they are liquefied. A living, amazing example of digestion, brought to them by AIM PrepZymes®. Digestion and assimilation right before their eyes.

And don’t forget AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. Judy reads a story on the importance of eliminating waste out of the body. A story is one of the best ways to “teach” a health concept. Guests “hear” it. They remember. And they recognize, when the product is explained to them, that AIM Herbal Fiberblend® is important in detoxifying and cleansing the body, the last step in healthy digestion.

Judy has been conducting home meetings long enough to have prepared a chart of what was taught and demonstrated at the meeting. Each guest leaves with a chart of how to incorporate the AIM basics into their day. The chart lists her phone number and e-mail address. She also sends along a cost sheet of the products demonstrated that night as well as a complete AIM price sheet.

For those who do not have a lot of experience with home meetings and thus have not settled on a focused theme for a meeting, having guests leave with a product catalog and a “How To” sheet on the use and benefits of each of the AIM products is essential. Both are quick, convenient ways to learn about the AIM products.
