Presenting the Largest TE Split Fees of the Month

We have some large recruiting fees in TE Network for the month of August!

In fact, Ron Sunshine of Ron Sunshine Associates, LLC and Donna Coleman of Donna Coleman and Associates were responsible for the Largest Split Fee of the Month. Ron and Donna placed a Vice President of Operations to earn a $50,000 fee at 25%.

Is it a coincidence that both Ron and Donna are Certified Split Placement Partners? No, it is not!

When you’re a Certified Split Placement Partner, you’re better equipped to work the Network the way it was intended . . . so that it can work for YOU!

As a friendly reminder, Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its TE Network split fee recruiting awards in four distinct categories:

1.) Recruiter of the Month
2.) Largest Split Fee of the Month
3.) Recruiter of the Quarter
4.) Largest Split Fee of the Quarter

We only announce the winners of these awards in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. We do so usually (but not always) in the issue following the conclusion of each month and/or quarter.

So congratulations to everybody on the list below for scoring some BIG placement fees during the month!
