Largest Split Fee of the Month

Largest Split Fee of the Month in TE: $53,400

by Matthew Deutsch on March 11, 2024

As challenging as the recruiting profession currently is, who wouldn’t want to earn a $53,400 fee . . . even if you had to split it with another recruiter? (What’s that? Oh, yes. I almost forgot about Top Echelon’s brokerage fee.)

And then, consider the fact that the recruiters involved would not have made the placement without each other’s help. Half a loaf is truly better than no loaf at all . . . and you can buy a lot of loaves of bread for $25,098.

Because that’s exactly how much money Nick Stoia, CPC of ASAP Search and Sara Alexandroff of Sterling St. James, Inc. collected as a result of their recent Top Echelon Network split placement—which represents the Largest Split Fee of the Month for February!

In addition, Maggie Wolgamot of Ridgeback Management Services, LLC was part of two of the Network’s top five split recruiting fees during the month. Both of those placements helped propel her to the Recruiter of the Month Award in February.

As a friendly reminder, Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its 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!

Recruiter of the Month

Maggie Wolgamot Wins Recruiter of the Month

by Matthew Deutsch on March 10, 2024

Sadly, we do not hand out real trophies like the one depicted in the above photo for Top Echelon Network awards like Recruiter of the Month.

On the bright side, though, the money earned through split placements in the Network IS real. So we have that going for us, and so do the top five recruiters in Top Echelon for the month of February!

As you can see, we have a new Recruiter of the Month. That would be Maggie Wolgamot of Ridgeback Management Services, LLC. Maggie made two splits that generated nearly $40K in revenue that she would not have made it not for her Top Echelon Network membership.

Ridgeback Management Services paid $135 in membership dues for the month of February, and Maggie and the agency earned a $40K return on that monetary investment. Not too shabby! (Who uses the word “shabby” anymore? We do, that’s who.)

Below is the information that we include with the Recruiters of the Month feature in Top Echelon Network:

The top five (5) recruiters for the month.
The cash-in total for each recruiter during the month. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of cash-in dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they made.)
The number of splits that the recruiters made during the month.
The number of splits each recruiter has made during their Network career.
Each recruiter’s cash-in total for their Network career.

With this format, it’s more likely there will be ties among recruiters, especially with those Network members who have made split placements with each other.

Congratulations to the recruiters listed below . . . and congratulations to every Network member who made a split placement (or multiple splits) during the month!
