Many AIM Members are having fun and making money with their home-based AIM business. It is always a good time to take advantage of AIM’s network marketing opportunity that is low-risk and high-reward.

In fact, network marketing has created more millionaires than any other industry, and
some of the top business minds have shared their thoughts on having a network marketing business. The author of the best-seller, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki called it “the perfect business” and stated, “The truth is, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone—unlike traditional corporate systems, which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon.” It’s a misconception that only those
who join a network marketing company at its beginning receive healthy commissions.

Donald Trump addressed another misconception when he said, “I am often asked if
network marketing is a pyramid scheme. My reply is that corporations really are pyramid schemes. A corporation has only one person at the top, generally the CEO, and everyone else below.” In other words, few people get rich working for someone else.

When you work for someone else, your salary is limited no matter how hard you work.
However, there is no limit to the amount of income that can come to you from having an
AIM home-based business. And you work for yourself.

During its thirty-year-plus history, many in the AIM family have become Members of the Million Dollar Club. They made it by being productive, often earning more income than their sponsors. This shows that if you work hard, you can come out on top—no matter when you join AIM.

At the same time, you don’t have to do it alone. Along with its incredible health products, AIM provides an accessible support system to help you achieve your goals. An online education at the AIM Academy gives you the product and business knowledge that is essential to success. And you can always get help and direction for building your business by giving us a call.

Chairman’s Club Director Janet Pauly has spent decades sharing AIM nutrition
with others and growing her downline into an international organization. One of
the keys to her success is follow-up. What follows is an e-mail that Janet sent
to her downline Members in South Africa in June 2012.

My dear South African AIM Member,

Please regard this as a personal letter to you. I can’t begin to tell you how much it means to me to have you in my downline. I would love to meet with you and get to know you. I would like to tell you in person how much I appreciate the wonderful job you are doing in sharing the AIM products and promoting health among your family and friends. I know that only people who have genuinely caring hearts would take the time to listen to others’ sad stories and then try to guide them to better health practices and improved nutrition and to explain to them the potential good that the AIM products could do for them. In addition to my monthly report showing how much each of you ordered, I also get a report telling me who sponsored whom in your country. I read this report carefully, and I can see who is actively sponsoring. Thank you so much for all that you do.

I am so far away and feel very cut off from you, and that makes me feel sad. Josh and Judy Dolev were my first Members in South Africa, and I owe them so much because they were the ones who got the downline that you are in started. I was privileged to go to South Africa under their auspices long before AIM was established there. They had made so many contacts that they had me booked for something like eleven meetings in twelve days.

As the years go by, it is easy to begin to take our AIM products for granted and almost forget what a treasure we have at our fingertips. When this happens, we tend not to share what we know about the high octane nutrition of AIM BarleyLife®. As you know, this is information that can change people’s lives or, as in my case, even save lives. Because my friend Merrilyn cared enough about me to put some green powder in a sandwich bag and write me a letter, I’m alive today. She said she felt compelled to do this, and she and I both believe it was the Lord prompting her.

I’ve been an AIM Member now for twenty-six years, and I never get over the thrill of someone I’ve introduced to BarleyLife calling me and telling me how much this green powder has improved their life. This is a huge reward for the time I’ve spent explaining the importance of good nutrition. We can’t always explain just how these changes happen, but we do understand that our bodies know exactly what to do with the nutrients we give them. Healing starts on the inside at the cellular level.

The older we get, the more important it is to keep our body’s machinery oiled and in good repair. BarleyLife goes a long way toward doing this. We may never know in this life what BarleyLife has saved us from. Please don’t ever make the mistake of stopping using your BarleyLife.

I’m attaching several testimonials that you may or may not have read. I hope you will enjoy them and use them to encourage others. One is about cancer, one is about a child with a severe seizure disorder, and the third is about a man who recovered from a massive heart attack.

May God bless and keep you.

With kindest regards,

Janet Pauly

Chairman’s Club Directors Charlotte and Keith Thompson have developed their extensive downline and organization through a variety of means, perhaps none as important as the meetings and expos they hold and attend. The Thompsons’ recent event success occurred at a February health expo in Dalton, Ohio, outside their hometown of Dundee, Ohio. Less than a week after the event ended, fifteen new Members had joined AIM.

The expo attracted thousands of visitors, and the Thompson’s booth took advantage of the foot traffic with an attractive display from AIM and a valuable giveaway. The Thompsons handed out over 1,000 of their testimony books during the two-day event.

Charlotte was asked to speak on women’s health issues at the expo’s seminar area, and the Thompsons worked the constant crowd in front of their booth. During the expo, Charlotte and Keith welcomed the assistance of their son and daughter-in-law, Directors Nathan and Joy Thompson, and Director Mary Schlabach. The Thompsons’s goal for the expo was to help Nathan, Joy, and Mary build their personal downlines. Less than a week after the event, Mary had added two new Members and four more shortly afterward, and Nathan and Joy had added thirteen.

The work was not done after the expo ended, either. Calls continued to come in through March with a total of 34 phone calls as of press time.

“We are so busy that we can’t answer the phone fast enough these past days,” Charlotte said following the expo. “Yesterday I was actually asking people to phone back as we were doing mini-seminars on the phone and teaching people when they phoned and wanted more information after reading our testimony books.”

Running a successful AIM business takes commitment, consistency, and hard work—and a few fun ideas never hurt, either. AIM has resurrected a former favorite AIM video called 22 Ways to Build a Business. A lot has changed in the 15 years since this DVD debuted, so consider this update a 21st-century version of AIM business building.

1. Make a list of everyone you know.
2. Become active in a new network or organization. Chairman’s Club Directors Jim and Carolyn Kling joined the booster club for their local college basketball team, and through this network, they made connections with a new group of people who could benefit from AIM products.
3. Drink BarleyLife in public places. Carry Sample Packs to share.
4. Build a testimony collection.
5. Stand in long lines on purpose! And spend your time in line wisely by being friendly and helpful to others and working AIM BarleyLife® into any conversations.
6. Call your downline to congratulate them on promotions.
7. Collect news articles on health and nutrition.
8. Start your own natural health library and loan out books, and AIM audios and DVDs.
9. Get your free MyAIMStore website.
10. Hold home meetings.
11. Always be prepared with datasheets and AIM information. Royal Emerald Director Linda Cole takes datasheets with her wherever she goes. You never know when an AIM opportunity might strike.
12. Get involved in community events.
13. Join your local toastmasters club to improve your public speaking skills.
14. Order more products than you need. Then use your inventory to share nutrition with others.
15. Use the Third-Party Invitation. Ask people, “Do you know anyone who needs to improve their diet or who wants to feel better? How about someone who would like to earn extra money by helping others?” Your interviewees will often give you names to add to your contact list or show interest themselves.
16. Get to know your genealogy report to find potential leaders and work with them.
17. Try the Blitz 25. Collect 25 AIM audios or videos and hand them out to 25 different contacts. Follow up with each to see what they thought. Chances are more than one will stick, and you’ll have a new AIM customer.
18. Encourage a quick start. It is easier to grow fast than to grow slow. So encourage those in your network who are interested in AIM health and wealth to begin with a home meeting featuring BarleyLife.
19. Buy local advertising.
20. List yourself in the phone book under “health and nutrition.”
21. Use your car as a billboard.
22. Speak at schools and organizations.
23. Start a high-achievers club for your downline.
24. Organize a yearly reunion for your network.
25. Reach out to locally-owned businesses.
