The 5 Stages of a Networker and Your TE Billings

Okay, this where the “rubber meets the road,” so to speak.

That’s because we’re at the billings stage of our “Planning Your Network Success” series of blog posts. Specifically, I’m going to discuss how much the recruiters in each of The 5 Stages of a Networker typically bill within Top Echelon Network.

Because after all, what’s the bottom line when it comes to membership in a recruiting network?

Making placements!

As you might imagine, the higher level of a networker that a recruiter is, the more they’ll bill in Top Echelon Network. (And in actuality, the more they’ll bill overall, as well).

This is why we’re such big advocates of recruiter networking events, especially our Virtual Core Groups. Networking works and it works well on a number of different levels.

So, without further adieu, here’s what more networking could do for your billings in Top Echelon:

Stage 1 Networker:

Their billings are typically $0, whether it’s a good economy or a bad economy.

Stage 2 Networker:

Their billings are typically $0 to $10,000 during a 12-month period. In a strong economy, the Stage 2 Networker does not recognize the value of the Network to their bottom line.

Stage 3 Networker:

Their billings are typically $15,000 to $30,000 during a 12-month period, depending upon the economy. The Stage 3 Networker knows that their split recruiting business is important to their bottom line in both a good and bad economy.

Stage 4 Networker:

Their billings are typically $45,000 to $85,000 during a 12-month period. The Stage 4 Networker knows that their split business is important to their bottom line in both a good and bad economy.

Stage 5 Networker:

Their billings are typically $90,000 to $210,000 per year, depending upon the economy. A Stage 5 Networker recognizes that the machine needs to be oiled in both good times and bad times. They use the Network to make split placements under ALL economic conditions.
