Membership Benefits



Clearly the main benefit of SCOOP club membership is business development. As you will see from our member testimonials below, members time after time have found that they can secure new business relationships and strengthen their existing ones through the information they gain in SCOOP. That being said, it's important to understand that many members find that the ancillary benefits of SCOOP often overshadow the obvious business benefits. Those secondary benefits include:

  • Indirect business contacts/referrals
  • Camaraderie
  • Fun social events
  • Leadership/speaking development

What members say:


SCOOPS works!! I have been a member for less than a year, but my brief tenure has proved most valuable. The current membership roster is an excellent cross-section of the Santa Rosa business community. Their 'insider knowledge' of upcoming business activities (whether it be staffing changes of company principles, physical moves or planned advertising campaigns) is extremely helpful when approaching these businesses for marketing opportunities.
Michael Willette, Minuteman Press of Santa Rosa

I have been a member of the SCOOP Club since 1991. I have at times been a member of four other business lead exchange groups, never for more than a couple of years. What keeps me in the SCOOP Club is the high quality and timeliness of the information exchanged at our meetings. Over the years of my membership, I can attribute over $1,000,000 in sales directly to information exchanged at SCOOP Club meetings.
Mark Burchill, Advent Office Furniture

SCOOPS is more than the average business networking group. I don't go there to try to sell my services, I go there to learn what's going on in our business community before the news hits the papers. The business relationships I've developed within SCOOPs are a happy secondary benefit to being in the club. Plus, I don't know any business group that has as much fun as SCOOPs. Members actually look forward to spending time with each other!
William Jones, AIA, Dwelling Resources

Joining SCOOPS has been one of the best decisions of my professional career. Not only is the cost reasonable, but the return in my investment has been much greater than I expected. The people, the support, and the camaraderie make every meeting fun. I would never consider another networking group.
Ken Boucher, Independent Agent, for Visa and Master Card

SCOOPS is my most important business meeting every week. Even though the nature of SCOOPS is business - to - business, I've been able to develop lasting friendships with fellow members.
Brian Thomas, PROforma

SCOOPS has opened avenues not easy to come by, providing direct contacts and unpublished information, providing the opportunity to make early contact.
Phil LaParne, Bekins-Schultz Bros. Van & Storage

A most important business tool...it's like having an entire sales department working for our company.
Greg Beedon, Sign-A-Rama Rohnert Park
