No Excuses!

by Jean Dukes and Yoli Huron

Are you looking for a great way to take your AIM business to the next level? Now that AIM has introduced AIM BarleyLife® Xtra and the new AIM Product Snapshots DVD (in addition to the extraordinary products and tools already available), we believe you don’t have any excuses to keep you from reaching your goals.

W e have developed a simple system to help you reach your objectives. Every time you see an * in this article, this means there is a form already created and available on the AIM website. Feel free to download these forms and change them to suit your needs. Click here for a list of the handouts available for download.

You may call this method a “demo,” a meeting, or simply a get together. Your goal is to gather people together in a comfortable setting to introduce them to the life-changing AIM products. Remember the KIDS principle—Keep It Duplicatible and Simple—so others can easily reproduce your efforts. People will do what you do, so, always keep things simple.
You can conduct meetings in your own home, in a downline Member’s, or even a customer’s home. Don’t focus on the numbers. Sometimes the most successful meeting is with one person who is passionate about turning their health around. Always remember to bathe your efforts in prayer for God’s guidance, wisdom, presence and blessings on your business.

The Preparation

If you are co-hosting a meeting with someone else, meet with them in person or by phone to discuss and review the scenario. Verify that she has a TV and DVD player available. Refer to the checklist called the Presenter To-Do List with Hostess*. (If you are conducting the meeting alone, then you will serve as the presenter and the hostess.)
First, determine a date and time to hold the meeting. Help your hostess brainstorm her list of potential people to invite using the Hostess Guest List/Memory Jogger*. Take work and family schedules into consideration. You may choose to schedule two separate meetings—daytime and evening.

Once you have established your guest list, get busy on the phone. Consider using 3-way calling to coach your hostess. You may need to do some role-playing beforehand so she is comfortable with the process. We recommend using a phone script* to help keep the call on track.

After you have your guest list established, gather and organize the supplies you will need for the meeting. On the same page as the Presenter To-Do List with Hostess*, is a Checklist for Presenter*. This is a list of everything you may need to bring to the meeting. Touch base with your hostess periodically to see how preparations are progressing and answer any questions. Be sure she gives all her attendees a reminder call the day before the meeting.

The Gathering

Be at your host home at least 30 minutes before everyone else is scheduled to arrive. Set up a simple display of AIM’s flagship products, datasheets, Living Well™ books, and flyers for upcoming events. Set up and test the DVD player. Welcome guests and have them sign the Sign-in Sheet*. We like to have music playing in the background as guests arrive.

To start the meeting, have the hostess welcome the guests and introduce you (Hostess Script to Introduce Speaker*). This introduction can include a portion of her testimony, or yours, or you can choose to share your testimonies later during the meeting. Our main presenter starts our meetings with prayer, and we thank our hostess for opening her home. During our introduction, we like to explain a little bit about who we are as a collective group. Feel free to read your introduction.

The Presentation

The meat of the meeting should be simple and to-the-point, leaving plenty of time for questions. With the new AIM Product Snapshots DVD, it is easier than ever to succinctly explain how our products improve health.

We like to use the Three Simple Steps to Living Well™ format (eliminate, nourish and replenish). This is a concise and easy way to explain AIM’s philosophy.

1. Eliminate: Explain how eliminating poor lifestyle choices can help improve our health. We don’t have to eliminate every bad habit at once but focus on one thing at a time. Explain how AIM’s Herbal Fiberblend® can help us eliminate toxins and waste. Perhaps share a testimony. Show the Product Snapshot on AIM Herbal Fiberblend®.
2. Nourish: Eating a well-balanced diet is important and helpful to our health. But even if we’re eating perfectly, our bodies just can’t get enough nutrients through diet alone. Show the Product Snapshots of AIM BarleyLife®, AIM BarleyLife® Xtra, AIM Garden Trio®, and AIMega™. Explain how each of these products provides powerful nutrients. Share or show a related testimony.
3. Replenish: Briefly explain that sometimes, due to genetic tendencies, stress, or disease processes, it is necessary to replenish specific nutrients. AIM has a wonderful line of products that target specific health conditions. You can address these during the question and answer time.

The Close

Now open up the meeting for questions. After you feel all questions are answered, pass out clipboards with Order Forms* and pencils. At this time, we serve a healthy snack. We recommend only fresh fruit or a veggie tray, and water to keep a healthy focus. You might do taste tests of the products. You and the hostess can help people calculate their orders and answer any further questions while people are eating.

The ultimate goal for sharing these products is to help others obtain vibrant health while helping people in your “success line” grow their organizations. By using this easy-to-follow system, we believe you and your group can achieve your goals. And with AIM’s new products and tools, you really have no excuses!
