Thank you to our resident Barista members Erika and Jessica Tobias of The Perfect Kup, and to Pastry Chef Cindy Tobias of The Pacific Patisserie for treating us to one delicious morning meeting LIVE interview!

Jessica’s coffee creations can be found at special events, corporate parties, breakrooms, and even for sale on Etsy!  She spilled the beans that all of her coffee flavors are named after her own family members.  Jessica has service and maintenance options available for those with their own machines, so when it comes to coffee, one phone call has all of your java needs COVERED!

Cindy’s family has been in the pastry business for many years, with TWO successful family-owned bakeries in Mexico. This is where a lot of her baking tricks originated, including the secret to keeping cakes light and fluffy, every single time.  Her pastries and artistic cakes can not only be found at weddings, baby showers, and special events, but can also be found in large office settings with employee celebrations.

Since coffee and pastries are an easy sell, the perfect leads for Jessica and Cindy would be anyone with an upcoming special event, or who works in an office.

THANK YOU for the wonderful presentation, Jessica and Cindy!

What People are Saying

In the past 42 years I have received many good leads that have become good clients.  Many of them are still clients of the firm I am with today (This represented 50% of the clients that I merged into the new firm).  I have used many past and current members for a reliable source of good and reputable suppliers for both business and personal needs, including several members that helped me make profitable investments over the years.

Hal Grimshaw, Belden Hiramoto Liu & Co., LLP

I joined EAOC because Phil Kintz asked me. At the time the cost and early meeting time was a concern. The first six months of membership I received and extra $6000 in volume.

Gary Gregg, Creating With Glass

I have been a member for many years in several different classifications. EAOC has always provided me with a steady flow of leads. However the biggest benefit I’ve received has been “outside” of the core purpose of leads. A past member John Valentine, mentioned to me that he had heard about some industrial land for sale in Costa Mesa. I ended up buying it, building a warehouse and running my business at the time (South Coast Stationers) there for about thirty years. It was an excellent investment.

Pete Sloan,

A lead from Past member Bob Hardman eight years ago resulted in $15,000 of business. A lead from Mel Smith eight years ago resulted in $25,000 of business. Benefits of membership include direct business from other members resulting in $10,000 in business and direct business with other members that resulted in excellent service and financial savings.

Carlos Salazar, Salazar Associates

I have built my entire business on leads from the EAOC. I started my association management firm in 1981 with one client EAOC. In the last thirty four years the business has grown to fourteen associations. We employ eleven full time and one part time employee. I can trace ten of my long term clients to referrals from EAOC that brings in over $500,000 annually. The network of present and passed members has had a tremendous impact on my life.

EAOC has been a reliable source of steady business for me for about thirty years. Thank You EAOC!
