Last week, we let you know about a live webinar regarding the future of the Top Echelon Network software. Well, that live webinar has come and gone. However, the recorded version of that webinar lives in the form of an important video.

As you might expect, the title of this important video is the same as the live webinar: “The Future of Top Echelon Network Software.”

We whole-heartedly encourage you, the members of Top Echelon Network, to watch this video. During this video, Top Echelon Software Product Manager Todd Bossler addresses the following::

• The present state of the Top Echelon Network software
• The tools and functionality in the current software
• What the future of the Network software holds
• What that future means for Top Echelon Network members

This important video is about 30 minutes long. All you have to do in order to watch the video is click the link below:

Watch this important Network video!

And also as I did last week, I encourage you to watch another important video. This one is the recorded version of a special Training Tuesday webinar that I conducted earlier this year.

Like Todd’s recent webinar, this Training Tuesday webinar is now a video in the Help Center. Click the link below to watch the video, which is titled “The Future of Candidates in Top Echelon Network.”

Watch “The Future of Candidates”!

It’s been a while since we published poll results from the Members’ Area. But don’t worry. We’re about to catch up!

That’s because we have results from the past five polls. These poll results cover a wide range of recruiting-related topics. These topics include how much Network members billed overall last year, how much Network members text candidates and clients, and the importance of social media for candidates. (And there are other topics, as well.)

So don’t be shy. Dive right in and enjoy the latest Members’ Area poll results from Top Echelon’s recruiting network.

Following the poll results

Following our poll results in real time is easy. We post a poll question in the Members’ Area every week. Once you participate in the poll, you can see the results as other Members cast their votes. We usually post a new Members’ Area poll question on Monday. We usually do that, but we don’t always do that. Because life happens . . . you know?

But forget about poll results for a moment. If YOU want to make more split placements and more money, then contact Director of Network Operations, Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS. You can reach Drea by calling 330.455.1433, x156 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.
