 » Best Benefit Ever: Making the Pitch to Landowners

**What is it?** The U.K.-based Country Land and Business Association (CLA) brings together a diverse real estate community. From country-house owners to farmers to rural professionals, a number of constituencies have joined the organization, bringing with them their unique challenges and concerns. So how does CLA communicate its value to current or prospective members? By clearly outlining instances in which membership could aid a property owner, [regardless of the purpose of the property (opens in a new tab)](http://www.cla.org.uk/why-join-cla)

, or [compulsory purchases (opens in a new tab)](http://www.cla.org.uk/why-join-cla/how-we-can-help-you/compulsory-purchase?journey_from=country-house-owner)
.

**Other benefits:** CLA also has some more general offerings, including [healthcare programs (opens in a new tab)](http://www.cla.org.uk/members-area/cla-member-services/cla-healthcare)

, and [utility-negotiation assistance (opens in a new tab)](http://www.cla.org.uk/members-area/cla-member-services/cla-utilities)
