LOS ALTOS STAR GROUP
Sharing Tips and Referrals

Interested in building your business?
Looking for ideas about how to overcome day-to-day challenges successfully?

The Los Altos STAR Group was launched in 2004 by several members of the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce. It helps its members generate leads that will create more business and also works with its members to improve business strategies and foster improved working and business relationships.

The members experience significant benefits as a result of being part of the group. In calendar year 2005, for example, the group generated 150 leads for its members. Some of them have become so successful, in part due to referrals from the group, they have left the group with an increased clientele that, in and of itself, is a significant source of new referrals.

In addition to hearing from members about the products and services they provide, the group hears from outsiders who have products, services or information of benefit to the members. In calendar year 2005, for example, the group heard from a representative of SCORE (www.svscore.org), which offers free counseling to small business owners by experienced business executives, and NOVA (www.novaworks.org), which screens and places employees at no charge.

The group is composed of a growing number of dynamic businesses in various industries (to avoid conflicts of interest, membership is limited to one business in any given industry). To learn about any of the current members, click on the link below to go directly to its website:

If you are interested in joining, you are welcome to attend as many as three meetings to decide whether it will work for you. For more information, contact a current STAR member or at the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce at (650) 948-1455.

If you are a business that competes with an existing member or are not able to attend the meetings as scheduled, think about launching a third STAR Group. The possibilities are endless! For more information about launching another group, contact a current STAR member or
