Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I get EQP (End Quantity Pricing) with all participating suppliers as a SmartEQP Member?
A: Roughly 90% of participating suppliers provide EQP or end quantity pricing. The remaining 10% of participating suppliers provide some other type of preferential pricing. It could be next column pricing (NQP), a percentage discount, free setup, etc. All the specifics of what's available from each participating supplier are available in a private area of the website.

Q: How do I get my special pricing? Do I have to notify all of the participating suppliers that I am a SmartEQP Member?
A: No. Your supplier pricing comes from AIM, so they will notify the suppliers. When you place an order with a participating supplier, they will confirm your active AIM Membership, so you will receive your preferential pricing as long as you remain a member.

Q: Is this group affiliated with ASI or Sage?
A: While some organizations provide benefits to AIM Members, neither ASI nor SAGE has any ownership in either AIM, SmartEQP, or TopSecrets.com.

Q:What happens if I don't pay my suppliers on time?
A: Members who don't pay their suppliers on time don't remain members for very long. We take our relationship with our suppliers very seriously. If you can't or won't pay on time, please do not join this group.

Q:I already have EQP with several key vendors. What's the advantage to joining this group?
A: Establishing EQP and preferential pricing with multiple vendors is very time consuming. As a SmartEQP Member you get EQP Buying Power from many of the top industry supplier lines. We maintain those relationships for you so you can focus on other things. Your SmartEQP Membership also delivers quality connections you won't find anywhere else. You can network with hundreds of other Top Secrets of Promotional Products Sales trained Industry professionals in our online Mastermind Groups, Discussion Groups, at industry trade shows and inside the password protected areas of our Inner Circle Website. You also get access to exclusive, cutting-edge training not available anywhere else.

Q: How does membership in this group pay for itself? Do I have to generate a million or more in annual sales for it to make sense?
A:
No. Members have access to exclusive coupon codes that routinely save them $40 or $50 on setup charges. That makes it easy to recoup your monthly investment quickly, then pocket huge savings with special discounts, EQP and NQP on nearly every order you place with participating suppliers.

Q: Can anyone in the industry join?
A: No. Unlike discount EQP clubs, membership in the SmartEQP program is strictly limited to serious industry professionals who are committed to investing in their own education and professional development. View the qualifications below.

Q:Do I continue to place orders with suppliers or do they have to go through you?
A: You can continue to place your orders directly with the suppliers.

Q: Does joining this group take away my identity as an independent distributor?
A: No. You maintain your own name, identity and independence.

Q: How long do I need to remain a member?
A: Membership is on a month-to-month basis, so you need to remain a member for as long as you would like to continue to receive member benefits. HOWEVER: Establishing relationships with these suppliers and updating member status is a time consuming process. For that reason, we ask that you do not join this group if you do not intend to remain a member for the foreseeable future. Membership is limited and by invitation only. Therefore we reserve the right to refuse membership or re-admittance to members who drop out.

Q: May I see a list of participating suppliers?
A: Yes. Your membership gives you access to many of the top supplier lines in the promotional products industry today. Scroll up to see a partial list above...

Q: How long does it take to start receiving special pricing from the time that I sign up?
A: It generally takes approximately one week for information from a new member to reach all participating suppliers. However, if you have just become a member and are ready to place a new order with a participating supplier, let them know that you have just joined, the supplier will confirm with AIM and you should receive the appropriate discount on your very next order.

Q: This sounds too good to be true. How are you able to get all these suppliers to provide us with special pricing?
A:
Two words: Buying power. Members generate hundreds of millions in industry sales each year.
