It certainly looks as though attendance for the upcoming 2015 Top Echelon Network National Convention will be the highest it’s been in the past several years.

We’re encouraged by this fact, because we believe it means that the nation’s economic recovery is increasing (after a slow start) and Top Echelon recruiters are making networking and split placements more of a priority on their desks.

However, if you haven’t registered yet, we want you to attend!  And one of the ways we’re showing our desire to see you is by offering the lowest price for a TE Convention that we’ve ever offered: $295 per person.

However, that price is only good through the end of the Early Bird Registration period, and the end of Early Bird is this Friday, March 27.  So that means you only have a few days to take advantage of this special rate!

Register for the 2015 National Convention!

However, we also acknowledge that people always want to know “what’s in it for them,” and that’s certainly understandable.  With that in mind, below are 15 ways that you can benefit from the 2015 Top Echelon Network National Convention:

1. Find other recruiters who work in your niche.

2. Learn advanced searching techniques for LinkedIn.

3. Trade hot job orders and candidates with other recruiters.

4. Learn best practices for job posting.

5. See Trading Partners you haven’t seen in a while.

6. Learn the BEST “Candidate Sourcing Secrets.”

7. Learn more about the Big Biller recruiting software.

8. Learn more about the all-new MEGA Database.

9. Solicit advice from other Network recruiters.

10. Learn how to offer contract staffing to your clients.

11. Learn how to make “Your Next Top Echelon Network Placement.”

12. Learn how to make “More Money in Top Echelon.”

13. Hone your networking techniques and create placement opportunities.

14. Enjoy the city of Atlanta and see the sights!

15. Relax, have a good time, and “recharge” before going back to the office.

Are there more than 15 ways?  There are, but this is a good number considering the fact that this is the 2015 National Convention.  Not only that, but do you really need more than 15 reasons to attend?  (Would you attend if we had . . . 16?)

This year’s convention is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, and Wednesday, April 15, and the location is the Embassy Suites Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia.

It’s the first time that we’ve ever held a TE Convention in Atlanta, and we’re looking forward to being there.

And seeing YOU there, as well!

One of my favorite sayings is “Good luck is when hard work and preparation meet opportunity.”

That saying definitely applies to enjoying success in Top Echelon Network, although I would throw in another variable equation . . . the variable of talent.

We have a lot of talented recruiters in Top Echelon Network.  They’re very good at what they do, and they’ve been doing it for a long time.  We often recognize those recruiters in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog as the “Recruiter of the Week.”

In fact, both of the recruiters in this blog post have been honored as such.  Those recruiters are Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, LLC and Carol Martin, CPC of Martin Management, Inc.  (In fact, we honored Carol as Recruiter of the Week in our most recent issue of the newsletter.)

I mention this because Maria and Carol met at the 2014 Top Echelon Network Fall Conference in Chicago, and as a result of that meeting, they made a split placement, the details of which are below.  So if we were to represent this with an equation, it might look like this:

Talent + hard work + preparation + opportunity = success

And wouldn’t you know it, we have another Top Echelon Network event coming up: the 2015 National Convention in Atlanta on Tuesday, April 14, and Wednesday, April 15.  So let’s refine our formula even further:

Talented recruiters + the National Convention = more money!

We know you’re talented recruiters.  After all, we let you join our split placement network.  Director of Network Operations Drea Codispoti would not have let you do so unless you were capable.  So all you really need is an opportunity, and that opportunity is the National Convention.

Put yourself in the same room with other talented recruiters working in your industry or niche.  Good things will happen, just like the placement below between Maria and Carol.  Create your own good luck and take advantage of opportunities like these.

Early Bird Registration for the Convention is ending soon!  Sign up now and join us in Atlanta!

“Attending conferences continues to pay off for MJ Recruiters.  Joanna and I were able to spend time with Carol in Chicago in 2014 discussing the types of candidates that she should always forward our way.  She did a great job of keeping her eyes open for us.  The candidate that she sent to us was exactly what we asked her to target.  He interviewed at two of our clients and was made a job offer.  Joanna and I are looking forward to placing more of Carol’s candidates!”
