AIMS. Is it for real?


AIMS is a scam

I have given a lot of thought before posting this message. I hope readers see this post as a professional analysis of the program.
Character matters. Jim Rogers is a scam artist and a man of low integrity. Ask his three, soon to be four, ex-wives. Jim has instructed his operatives to avoid answering the question of their placement rate. If the questioner presses the issue, they are instructed to lie about their placement rates.
A man of integrity would complete the proper state applications and bonding process to operate a school in accordance with state law. Jim Rogers has not complied with the state of Tennessee or Colorado.
He does not include the people who never got placed into a position and subsequently asked for a refund in his numbers. Jim Rogers is now telling prospective students that he has placed 85% of his students. THIS IS A LIE. I have this information from an employee of AIMS who of course must remain anonymous.
Jim does not have a working business model. He has chosen to keep the money flowing into his bank account rather than slow down the school while the recruiters caught up with the glut of students AIMS has produced.
Jim is very sensitive to the truth being told so look for him or one of his drones to reply to this serious post.
After students "graduate", they are led to a room to where they are interviewed on video tape. What do YOU think the students praying for a placement/job will say with this video gun held to their head?
Now, desperate AIMS students are pitted against each other in the few interviews the school does produce as Jim has implemented a policy of send two or more AIMS students to each interview.
I have had single mothers call me crying when they were several weeks graduated, down to their last $100 and had not had one interview. I will watch this message board and will try to ethically answer legitimate questions.
Jim Rogers is taking hopeful peoples money and is certainly not achieving an 85% sucess rate.

Here it goes again ... I'm sure this is the same guy that started all of these posts 6 months ago about how AIMS was a scam and didn't even exist. Has the nerve also to post it a hundred times on several threads..... Go get a job... You are full of @*^%$ and you know it.

What I can tell you is what is true because I happened to do my research unlike the post above. You are correct, they also have told me that they do not give placement numbers. You need to do your OWN research and decide if this is for you. I DID! I called several of the "placed students" which you can guess are very supportive of the process. I am sure that some people do not get placed. But after all, in this market if anyone is getting placed to me it is a big success. I also have received feedback from a student which was refunded their money that post, was still employed by a spine company because of the AIMS training.

As far as the many posts about be licensed, they are licensed in both Tennessee and Colorado as a corporation. I have contacted Theresa Warren in Tennessee and was informed that they have submitted the application when asked back in March. In addition, they posted all required paperwork including the bonds. If you go the the education website, you will see that it takes months to be approved through the process. I was told that AIMS has been given permission to continue on "good faith". Same is true with Colorado and Jim Parker. They have already posted the bonds as well. So again, the above poster is full of shit.

At this point prior to seeing the above poster talk crap about how this post was from AIMS, I will be glad to tell you who I am. I was referred to the class from a former student Elliot Jones who is now in Warsaw with 3 of his AIMS graduates working with Biomet. He informed me about the next Biomet Sports Medicine Program which is why I applied. He also informed me that the support from Biomet (huge ortho company) has been off the charts. In fact, I can tell you that Jim Rogers is their guest speaker at the Biomet National Sales Meeting in two weeks in Las Vegas. My guess is they don't invite scam artists.

They have a refund policy and yet not one person has ever claimed that they asked for a refund and didn't receive one. So they way I look at it, they have support from many employers, they have placed AIMS students with top companies and if you don't get placed they have a full refund policy. I don't call that a scam, I call that a great idea.

For those that didn't or have not been placed yet, I wish you the best. For all the negative people on here, you're just pissed that your not one of the 35+ people that were placed through AIMS.

And for people going after this guys personal life, seriously, do you not have anything better to do? Guess that is why you have time all day to post on here.

Finally, hats off to the following AIMS grads that have been placed in the field. I hope to follow you soon.

www.aimedsales - straight off the website ( I'm sure the next reply from the original post will follow about how AIMS has had a million students so the below stats suck, but as in sales, the best always succeed. So I guess, hats off again to the group below since you're the best :) See you out their soon!

This is only 35 names. There have been how many classes that have been completed at this pt with approx 14-15 students in each? Roughly 10? You do the placement numbers....

Now the placement stats is up to 41. In addition, if you go to the website the student count is not the 1000 you claim but through June grads it is 73.

An interview rate for students at 97.2%. You can talk the horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

GO AIMS!!!

These guys could have and would have done it without you.
Ask them.
 
I still don't get it, ortho sucks. Shitty hours, me too products, and then the tools who wear their scrubs all day...ridiculous. Then you have to put with many MD's who scream at you. Sorry I'll continue to sell devices where I work 40 hours a week, don't have to put on scrubs, sit down with the Doctor over lunch, and talk more about hoe to finance it, and still pull down 150 on a bad year, 200 on a good year.
 
Sure pal.

Sorry you don't have to believe me. While you are looking at some gaping wound in an OR with tempermental doctors, while in your toolish scrubs that you guys wear (i swear some of you guys are naked under those scrubs), i do 2 appointments a day in an office or hospital setting. I get calls from ortho companies all of the time despite the fact I don't sell to them. Goes to show you, you don't need to be an expert. You just have to know how to sell...fabs, relationships, service, etc.

While some of the products you sell are revolutionary, how the hell do you get someone excited over bolts, plates, etc etc?
 
My own experience: Anyone who has spent some time on medreps knows that most medical companies have preferred backgrounds they like to hire from, copier sales for example. With the down economy, especially in certain areas, you will have an extremely uphill battle trying to get into medical if you don't fit that "mold". When you're done with AIMS you can: #1) speak very intelligently about an orthopedic specialty and #2) prove that you're driven because of the time and money you put in. I think that people considering this program should ask themselves whether bringing these two items to an interview will put them over the top to get them the job. Make sense?
 
The funniest post was the guy who bragged about getting in an M6?? Like we should eb impressed? Classic poser car! Why not just wear a sign that says "Hey! I'm An Asshole!" Let me guess, you bought a H3 for the wife, right? Classic.
 
Just read an article sent to me: Jim Rogers is interviewed and talks about the TV reality series that they are kicking around: "Sell O.R. Go Home."
You can't make this shit up.

If your Doctors saw you in an M6 they wouldn't buy from you...Same reason I drive a 3 year old Chevy SUV and wear a 100 dollar watch...I had a doc look at my watch once and say "Glad to see it isnt a Rolex...I wouldn't have bought from you..."
 
But can they sell?

Ask yourself that simple question. Schoolin' really doesn’t mean that much if you can't sell (in my humble opinion.)

Good sales reps never have problems finding a "job" because they are never unemployed. They get pulled along from prior positions to the next job by people like me.

OR

They do for themselves. Make their own luck. Blaze the way on their own.

I have known hundreds of reps in my sales career. A very small percentage would ever get the opportunity to sell for my organizations.

Enough of my pompousness.

Enjoy your day!
 
AIMS is a sick joke. Jim Rogers spends more time golfing and talking about how great he is and screwing his staff and students than he does geting students jobs. I graduated over 90 days ago, have requested a refund and all they say is hey have to delay it because they aren't making money. If Jim wouldn't spend all his money trying to keep his money hungry midget wife looking the other direction, he could probably afford to run a business with integrity. Susan is also a scam artist, she used my Marriott points that I earned while staying there for her own pleasure. Good education, kuddos to the training staff and kuddos to the few recruiters that gave a shit and have since left, so much for their recruiting dept now.
 
We needed your money and you wanted to give it to us. You were not that impressive which is why you didn't get a job. Don't blame us, blame yourself. We can only do so much, the rest is up to you. Put on your big boy pants and make something of yourself instead of complaining. Leave the money hungry midget wife out of this. Thanks again for your money. Please send us paying referrals. Good luck.

There’s a bran’ new gimmick every day
Just t’ take somebody’s money away
I think we oughta take some o’ these people
And put ’em on a boat, send ’em up to Bear Mountain . . .
For a picnic

If you do not receive your refund call the depart of higher education for the state of colorado. They skipped out of Tennessee for running a sham operation and are doing the same thing in Colorado. Break all sorts of laws. That scam artist Jim Rogers is a scum bag and hated in the industry by his peers. Sorry they stole your money but you can get it back as they are running an unlicensed school. Where will they move when Colorado catches them?
