Why Join NAEO?

Member Types

Regular Member
This category is for organizations or individuals who own, lease or use Amtelco equipment as a significant component of their telemessaging business and who are principal operators.  Regular members enjoy all member benefits and are eligible to one vote.

Regular member multi-year discount: By joining for three years you will receive a 15% discount on membership. Further, the multi-year membership allows you to lock-in current rates and protects you from any potential rate increases for three years. This will save you time and money while enjoying the same outstanding benefits you have on an ongoing basis with NAEO.

Regular Member PLUS
This category is for organizations or individuals who own, lease or use Amtelco equipment as a significant component of their large telemessaging business and who are principal operators. Regular members PLUS enjoy all member benefits and are eligible to one vote. “PLUS” members are defined as having more than 50 active Amtelco Operator Station Licenses or significant multiple business locations benefiting from membership (i.e. NAEO Listserv, Operator Training Program etc.).
NOTE: The term “multiple business locations” does not necessarily imply that each location has an installed Amtelco system, these locations may be serviced by remotely located systems.

Regular Plus member multi-year discount: By joining for three years you will receive a 15% discount on membership. Further, the multi-year membership allows you to lock-in current rates and protects you from any potential rate increases for three years. This will save you time and money while enjoying the same outstanding benefits you have on an ongoing basis with NAEO.

Introductory Member
This category is the same as regular members, but applies only to first-time member companies.

Associate Member
Organizations or individuals who share a common interest with and desire to support and promote the purpose of NAEO (included, but not limited to) those organizations engaged in selling and providing products or services to regular members of NAEO. In addition to the member benefits listed below, Associate Members receive: annual one-time marketing effort; a link on the NAEO website; one article annually in Newslinks; and the opportunity to sponsor one webinar per year. If there are members that fall into both categories, and those regular members want the associate benefits, they need to pay the difference.

Benefits

After completing the course, a passing grade on the Internet-based test qualifies you to a 10 percent discount on your service contract with Amtelco. Depending on the size of your bureau, this Amtelco discount literally pays for your NAEO membership!

What Our Members Say

"The contact and friendships with other NAEO members is by far the most important resource available to my business. Don't EVER miss the spring NAEO meeting — you will lose a whole year's worth of information!"

Allan Fromm, President 
An-ser Services 
Green Bay, Wis. 

"NAEO allows you to have good business relationships with other owners and managers around the country who are using very similar equipment and having very similar challenges and opportunities. The benefits and relationships are a plus to our business, and we look forward to the annual conference each year!" 

Jeff White, Operations Manager 
Professional Communications Network 
 Riverside, Calif. 

"Universal TeleResponse became an NAEO member and contributor when we bought an 11-seat EVE system which helped us grow sufficiently to allow us to now be operating one of the largest Infinity systems out there. NAEO was very instrumental in providing the impetus, contacts, and many ideas that helped that happen. NAEO is one of the best investments of time and money we've ever made."
