Recent Split Placements in Top Echelon Network

Get used to seeing Brad Dodge’s name in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. Not only is Brad the Recruiter of the Month for April, but he was also part of the Largest Split Placement Fee of the Month in TE Network.

But wait, there’s more! As you can see below, he is also part of five recent split placements in the Network. (Those five splits, as you might imagine, went a long way in propelling him to yet another Recruiter of the Month Award.)

However, this is more than just the “Brad Dodge Show.” There were other recruiters who made split placements, as well, and I demand that you check out their splits! (Well . . . I politely request that you check them out. Thank you for your time.)

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

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

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in TE Network for the period from April 20 through May 3, 2026.

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

Once again, congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in TE Network!
