First Placements in Top Echelon: a Thing of Beauty

First placements in Top Echelon’s recruiting network are always a cause for celebration. The reason: you can’t make many until you make one.

We’re celebrating some first placements in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. In fact, we’re celebrating some different kinds.

First placements lead to . . . repeat placements!

The two types of first placements that we’re celebrating are as follows:

1. The first placement made in the Network overall
2. The first placement made with a new or existing trading partner

It is possible to work with a trading partner for quite a while before making your first split with them. After all, you can’t fill every search assignment. (Wouldn’t that be nice, though?)

Making placements in the Network is all about relationships with other recruiters. First you build them. Then you continue to grow them. The result? More deals and more revenue.

And once you’ve made your first placements with trading partners, you’ll crave more. That’s why, as the title of this blog post suggests, they’re a thing of beauty!

If you’re looking to make more split placements, then contact Top Echelon Director of Network Operations Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS. You can do so by calling 330.455.1433, x156 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.
