Our AIM Experience
Shared by Jenny Ann Brown, AIM Chairman's Club Director in Cape Town, South Africa
I can clearly remember the breathless feeling of walking up to the podium the night we were inducted into AIM’s Chairman’s Club in 2003 in Hawaii –and that’s 20 years ago! My opening comments were: “Generally speaking, Bill is generally speaking” and at that point I was relieved of the microphone and it was safely held for me by the General Manager – just in case.

I joined AIM in April 1998, with Bill’s great encouragement, so this month is our 25th AIM anniversary alongside our 53rd wedding anniversary.
Our sponsor introduced me to Renewed Balance Body Cream, which gave me the support I needed all those years ago. After joining AIM and experiencing the benefits myself, it was easy to talk about the many wonderful products Bill and I were using that helped to support our immune systems. We truly are our own best customers, as between us we regularly use 20 products, and others as needed.
It wasn’t without a lot of effort that my downline grew so fast.
The foundational principal we used in those days was USSBT . . . which still works today.
U se the products
S hare the products
S ponsor others
B uild strong relationships
T each others to do the same
I have always been a great believer in collecting “points” for rewards and AIM suits this need of mine right down to the 6th level! The table below shows the dramatic effect that sustained sponsoring can have on a business. And each Member in one’s network has a product ordering potential linked to points that will grow income. Even those who join as an AIM Customer just to get their products at a better price add to the Group Volume Points.
Note the difference between sponsoring two people who each sponsor two people down to the 6th level. Or sponsoring 5 people who each sponsor 5 people etc. down to the 6th level. Now if each person actually did do this type of sponsoring, the difference in the numbers is phenomenal. It’s certainly worth giving it a shot!
Sponsoring involves being responsible in a way for your downline Members. Answer questions, motivate them, hold meetings and congratulate them at each stage as they climb the AIM ladder.
When I joined AIM in 1998, I was involved with other network marketing businesses, and it was when my AIM income (checks in those days) were really noteworthy, that the decision was made to concentrate all my efforts on AIM. I was told that “you can’t ride two horses at once” and that sure resonated!
At the ripe old age of 73, I envy those who have IT skills, as the possibilities are endless. In the good old days, we had to have a fax machine to receive our genealogy, and then it was only permitted once we qualified as a Director. There was no information at our fingertips like the website offers today. Now we have everything we need to run a business from home.
Our favorite products are the Garden Trio, Herbal Fiberblend capsules , CalciAIM, FloraFood, Peak Endurance, Proancynol 2000 and now—to turn the clock back somewhat—BioVivify!
In this business I have made lifelong friends. I’ve met fascinating people. We’ve travelled to distant lands for AIM conferences. I’m so grateful for the AIM Head Office staff, whose help is phenomenal. I love the desire for constant improvement (kaizen) that co-owners Kay and Dennis Itami hold dear.
My most grateful thanks are to God for this amazing company, which has provided us with health and wealth and a motivation that has stood the test of time.
To sum it up, it is all about loving people. It’s about wanting to see them succeed in achieving health through the products and an income from the business. As they succeed with one’s help, one’s own business grows and is sustained through friendship and caring.
