AIM has recently given me the privilege to design and conduct Teleclasses on how to hold Home Meetings for fellow AIM members called “Successful Home Meeting Strategies”. Home meetings provide a forum to impart valuable information about the relationship between diet and disease to others and as well as give them the opportunity to experience the benefits of AIM's quality products such as ^AIM Barleygreen® and ^AIM Herbal Fiberblend^™. 

Home meetings have played an integral part in the development and growth of our ministry-supporting AIM business. The hour-long Teleclass will be conducted using a two session format. The first session will offer ideas and insights that will enable one to choose which type of home meeting will best suit them. The second session we'll work on the actual design of the home meeting. Sometimes people are a little intimidated about holding a home meeting especially for the first time, but during the classes we'll work through some of those fears. 

The next "Successful Home Meeting Stategies" Teleclass scheduled is June 20th and 27th at 7:00 PM Mountain Time.  

The classes are free but the call center is a long distance call. If, for instance, you have a $0.05 per minute rate, the long distance cost of the Teleclass will be about $3.00.

For AIM Members to reserve their spot on the class, call AIM on their toll free number, and press option 1 or email the online department at aimonline@aimintl.com 

I.   Purpose/Goal: To develop and build a strong and vibrant AIM business. 

II.  Introduction:  There are many approaches to holding a home meeting but all should be designed around meeting other’s needs. 

III. Methods:

A.      NUTRITIONAL MEETING: you or guest speakers present nutritional information relating to the association between diet and disease using the AIM products as a support system to a healthy lifestyle. 

B.    DEMONSTRATIVE MEETING: Demonstrate to others how to…

·   Juice

·   Distill

·   Dehydrate

·   Take BarleyGreen and Herbal Fiberblend

·   Sprout

·   Prepare and make salads and salad dressings  

·   Save time in the kitchen  

·   Make fruit smoothies

·   Bake bread 

(For most people, changing a lifestyle of many years is quite difficult. This type of meeting or gathering involving demonstration helps to remove the fear and intimidation of change that may be a roadblock for many.)   

C.   VIDEO MEETING: Information presented by video on a wide range of topics from diet and disease to specific AIM products. A few of the videos we’ve found successful are:

·     A multitude of AIM Videos such as “Herbs, Fiber, and Digestive Health: Herbal Fiberblend”, “Dynamic Duo”, or “Spark your Heart” (Check the Price List and Order Form that comes with each order for list of videos)

·     “How to Eliminate Sickness” (Rev. George Malkmus)

·     “A Diet for All Reasons” (Dr. Michael Klaper, MD.)

·     “You Can’t Improve of God” (Dr Lorraine Day, MD.)

·     “Cancer Doesn’t Scare Me Anymore” (* Dr Lorraine Day, MD.)                    * Dr. Day has a number of new videos recently released that are all very informative

D.  VIDEO SERIES MEETING:  Consecutive meetings taught by video

·        “Weigh of Wisdom Workshop”: A Biblically based 8-week course promoting a healthy lifestyle which includes taking Barleygreen and Herbal Fiberblend, in order to reap the benefits of weight loss, vibrant health and increased energy. Each of the 8 classes takes approximately 2 hours with an average of 1˝ hour taught by video. The other ˝ hour is spent in demonstration and answering questions.  

E.    AIM PRODUCT MEETING: Design a meeting specifically to introduce the natural, health supporting AIM products such as BarleyGreen and Herbal Fiberblend. Aim’s videos are very helpful when holding a product meeting. 

    (Testimonials are extremely effective in supporting your claims of the product’s beneficial attributes)  

F.    AIM BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY MEETING- design a meeting showing the financial opportunity AIM offers with their “Ladder of Opportunity” and monthly commission checks. 

G.   AIM BUSINESS BUILDING MEETING- this is a meeting designed for those interested in learning how to develop their AIM business, mainly those already AIM members. (Useful tool: Business Building Tips)  

*   Assistance from upline or downline is mutually benefiting for all.  

Closing Thoughts:

·        Many people have never conducted a Home Meeting before or feel uncomfortable standing in front of others. For those I would encourage them to see themselves as a messenger blessed with information that could change other’s lives, enabling those to live well and fulfill their lives in good health.

·        Every person has their own personality and we would recommend that they conduct the type of Home Meeting they feel comfortable doing. We have found Home Meetings to be a comfortable environment most people enjoy.

·        A number of our downline have opened their homes for us to come and conduct various types of meeting in order to reach their family and friends with valuable information regarding nutrition and health. It’s exciting that all of these “hosts” have either become Directors or Associate Directors with AIM.
