When NCTC Mandates This Platform to Its Members, the Association Earns $2.1 Million Per Year. Recurring. Paid Monthly.
Recurring. Paid Monthly. For the Life of Every Active Subscription.
This is not a consulting invoice. It is not a one-time study. It is a Preferred Vendor Partnership Revenue Program, structured for cooperative non-profits, that pays NCTC a recurring percentage of every active member operator subscription for the life of their subscription.
The association earns. Members save. Operators modernize. All from the same board decision.
One Flat Rate. One Commission Level. Paid Every Month Each Operator Is Active.
Cooperative associations routinely earn preferred vendor revenue from technology suppliers, insurance carriers, and equipment providers on behalf of their membership. This program follows the same structure. NCTC designates the platform as its recommended AI solution for member operators. Revenue flows to the association, not to individuals. The association directs how it is deployed, whether into member benefit programs, operational reserves, technology funds, or reduced member dues.
The commission is flat, one level, and calculated monthly on confirmed active subscriptions. There are no recruiting requirements, no sub-tiers, and no cap.
This Revenue Program Is Designed to Complement NCTC's Cooperative Status, Not Complicate It.
NCTC's cooperative structure exists to create collective buying power and operational benefits for its 700 member operators. Preferred vendor revenue programs are a standard tool within that structure. Agricultural co-ops, credit unions, insurance co-ops, and technology cooperatives regularly earn vendor revenue that is returned to membership or applied to association operations.
This program follows the same model. Revenue flows to NCTC as an association, not to individual board members or officers. The association's board determines how the revenue is allocated, consistent with NCTC's existing governance documents and applicable IRS guidelines for 501(c) cooperative organizations.
We recommend NCTC's legal counsel review the Preferred Vendor Partnership Agreement before execution. The agreement is structured specifically to pass that review. We have executed similar programs with associations operating under non-profit and cooperative status.
NCTC's existing preferred vendor and group purchasing programs provide the governance precedent for this program. No new legal structure is required.
Revenue from this program is earmarked for association use. Individual board members do not receive personal compensation tied to member adoption. This is the structure. It is not negotiable.
The Association Earns From the Platform.
Members Save Because of It.
Both outcomes flow from the same mandate. This is how a well-structured preferred vendor program works.
AI covers the 128 hours per week operators go dark.
No headcount change. Stops losing subscribers to Starlink, DirecTV, and vMVPDs after hours.
AI absorbs 65% of calls: pricing, availability, and scheduling.
Staff redeployed to retention and upsell. Stop hiring as volume grows.
AI replaces the receptionist function for 1 to 2 person support operations.
Biggest savings, biggest operational change.
At the conservative floor, members collectively avoid $36.4M in annual labor costs. At the balanced Tier-1 deflection scenario, that figure rises to $45.60M. At the same time, NCTC earns recurring association partnership revenue on every active subscription. The mandate pays the membership and the association simultaneously.
NCTC Selects. Members Activate. The Association Earns.
NCTC Executes the Partnership Agreement
The board formally designates the platform as NCTC's recommended AI solution for member operators. A Preferred Vendor Partnership Agreement is executed, locking in the tiered fee schedule and 10% association revenue rate. Legal review by NCTC counsel is completed before execution to confirm alignment with cooperative non-profit status.
Members Activate in Cohorts of 20 to 25
Operators are onboarded in groups. Each cohort goes live within 14 days of their start date. The platform is pre-trained on real operator catalogs and configures to each location's service area, pricing, and technician schedule. A one-time, per-location setup fee applies, covering the standard two-agent suite (Conversational AI and Voice AI for scheduling, FAQ, and after-hours calls, with simple integrations), scaled down as each cohort grows. AI Automated Sales Processing is available as a separate configuration. No custom software build. No IT project.
NCTC Receives Monthly Partnership Revenue
At the close of each billing period, active operator subscriptions are tallied. Association revenue is calculated and paid within 15 days. A partner dashboard provides full visibility into every active operator, their billing status, and the resulting commission calculation. No black-box reporting.
Option B. NCTC AI Solutions: The Enterprise Path.
NCTC owns the brand. HOME-OMETRY builds and operates the infrastructure. Member operators subscribe to what they experience as NCTC's own technology product, not a third-party vendor. One brand, one platform, every member location. No vendor-selection debate. No compliance question. NCTC is the platform.
Best for
Boards that want to own a technology asset and give members a reason to strengthen their relationship with NCTC rather than shop outside it.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Board Has the Mandate. The Platform Is Live. The Partnership Agreement Is Ready.
The only question left is whether NCTC's 700 member operators begin capturing $36.4M in combined annual labor savings while the association earns recurring partnership revenue from every active subscription.
This is not a sales call. It is a partnership discussion about agreement terms, legal structure, and deployment timeline. The next step is a direct board-level conversation.
