Brad Dodge, Sarah Katz Lead the Way This Week

In the past, they would call August the “dog days of summer,” namely due to the prevalence of heat and humidity. (Although I still don’t know who “they” are.)

Now, with record-breaking temperatures seeming to scorch the planet on a daily basis, I’m not sure what you would call August. Or what “they” would call it, for that matter . . .

Unless you’re Top Echelon Network recruiters Brad Dodge of iLocatum and Sarah Katz of First Search, Inc., that is.

That’s because they would call August the “highly profitable days of summer”!

As you can see below, Brad and Sarah led the way in terms of Network split placements last week. Brad was part of five splits, while Sarah was involved with four such placements.

Not only that, but Steve Dooling of VHCS made his first split placement as a member of Top Echelon Network. So congratulations are in order for Steve, as well!

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our weekly placements:

  • Names of the split recruiting partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
  • Job title
  • Overall placement fee (before TE’s 6% brokerage fee, of course)
  • Fee percentage

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the period from July 31 through August 6, 2023.

Remember, if you don’t want information related to your Network placements published in The Pinnacle, please send an email to marketing@topechelon.com to that effect.

Congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in Top Echelon Network!
