The second quarter of 2021 was a quarter of big fees in Top Echelon Network!

In fact, there is no doubt that some of the fees below will be included in the top fees of the year, and a couple of them rival the biggest fees of all time in the Network. However, that just scratches the surface of the story of the biggest Top Echelon fees of the second quarter.

That’s because, for some of the recruiters below, the placements they made were either:

• The first split placement they’ve made with their trading partner, or
• The first split placement they’ve ever made in Top Echelon Network, period!

What better way to make your first Network split than to make a BIG Network split? And what better way to make your first split with a new trading partner than to collect a sizeable recruiting fee in the process?

Here, let us answer these questions for you . . . there’s NO better way!

As a 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.

Congratulations to everybody who made the largest split fees in Top Echelon Network during the second quarter of 2021!

Can you believe that the year 2021 is MORE than halfway over?

Well . . . neither can we. However, what we can believe is that we have the top recruiters of the second quarter in Top Echelon Network.

Something else we can also believe is that these 10 recruiters earned nearly $1 million through the Network during the second quarter of 2021!

Yes, that’s right. If you add up the commissions of all the members listed below, the total is an impressive $973,768.

So let’s gear up for the second half of the year, let’s make more placements, and here’s to hoping YOU land on our next list of top producers in Top Echelon Network!

As you will see, we’ve made a change to this regular feature in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. We now base the order of the recruiters on their amount of “cash-in” dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they made during the month.

So congratulations to the recruiters listed below and congratulations to every Network member who made a split placement during the first quarter of 2021!
