Why you should join...

It's more than pipes and sinks... AIM/R promotes the RepAdvantage so both your manufacturers and customers realize the benefits of selling through and buying from multiple-line, field-based sales professionals.

For Rep Agencies

• Legion of Fellow Reps – Belonging to AIM/R makes you part of a continually growing network of member firms. As you get to know your fellow representatives, you will benefit from their recommendations, industry knowledge, and sharing of their best business practices.
• RepLocator Listing – Your free listing in the AIM/R RepLocator puts your firm at the fingertips of manufacturers as they consider new agencies for their representation. The RepLocator is distributed in June each year by Supply House Times to PHCP industry sales and marketing managers – the people who make critical hiring decisions. The RepLocator is also available online. Listings are not available to non-members.
• Benchmarking for your Business - AIM/R is partnering with CoMetrics to deliver better benchmarking for our Rep Agencies. Stay tuned for updates in 2025.
• Leadership Development – AIM/R Leaders of Tomorrow... Today (LOT/T) program prepares the next generation of business executives for the type of business issues they may experience in the future - and how to plan for them.
• Real-time conversations on AIM/R Social Media - Join and tag us on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

For Manufacturers

• AIM/R RepAdvantage – When choosing to partner with an AIM/R Rep, manufacturers can be confident in the level of professionalism, tenacity and longevity they will experience from their agencies.
• Revenue Opportunities – Manufacturers have direct access to AIM/R Reps when your company launches a new product or is simply seeking Reps in North America. Promote your line through AIM/R Instant Hotlines or e-promotions. The first one is free to new Manufacturer members!
• Networking at the Annual Conference – The signature event for the association is now open to AIM/R Manufacturers. The Annual Conference brings it all together in an environment with open communications. Manufacturers attend along side Rep Agencies, which helps strengthen the understanding that each has of the other's challenges and opportunities.
• Political Support – Through our alliance with the American Supply Association (ASA), we advocate for manufacturers and their representatives in the plumbing, heating and cooling industry.
• Education – AIM/R is committed to advancing members’ knowledge, standing, and professionalism through event sessions, newsletters, and the AIM/R Mentor program.
