We have two more Top Echelon Network anniversaries to celebrate this month . . . and one of them is a BIG anniversary!

That’s because Janet Miller of Computer Management, Inc. became a Preferred Member on September 5, 1989.  That’s right, Janet is celebrating her 25th anniversary as a Top Echelon Network recruiter, and we certainly want to congratulate her on that milestone.

Janet has been an extremely consistent producer during her time in the Network, making 64 placements since becoming a Preferred Member.  In addition, she’s participated in Top Echelon in as many different ways as you can imagine, from attending conferences and conventions to being part of Virtual Core Groups to referring other recruiters.

In fact, one of Janet’s referrals, Bob Small of Carroll Technology Services, Inc., has also become an extremely successful recruiter in Top Echelon Network.

We also have another anniversary this month, as Merit Consulting, Inc. is celebrating its fifth anniversary.  The recruiters in Merit Consulting have combined to make seven placements in the Network since joining.

So we want to thank all of these recruiters for their commitment as Preferred Members, and we also want to help them celebrate their respective Network anniversaries in Top Echelon.  Congratulations to everybody!

As many of you probably already know, we’ve made some changes to the upcoming 2014 Top Echelon Network Fall Conference.  One of those changes involves the fact that the recruiter networking conference is being held on a Tuesday (September 23) and Thursday (September 24).

However, we’ve made another change, as well, and that one involves the day on which the conference officially starts.

In the past, the first day of the Fall Conference has typically been reserved for software training on Big Biller and the Network.  As such, the “official start” of the conference wasn’t until the morning of the second day.  Not so this year.

The official start of the 2014 Fall Conference will be at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23.  (Actually, it’s called the “Conference Kick-Off” in the agenda.)

Consequently, if you’re attending the conference, you’ll want to make sure that you arrive by 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23, in order to be present during the start of the conference.

If you have NOT registered for the conference, there’s still time to do so.  Just login to the Members’ Area and click on the “Register Now” link on the left-hand side of the page.  You can also see who’s already signed up by clicking on the “See Who’s Attending” link.

The Fall Conference is almost upon us, and we’re looking forward to another great event.  I hope you’ll join us.  See you in Chicago!

THE SPLIT PLACEMENTS:

Everybody wants to be an outstanding Trading Partner in Top Echelon Network.  Not only that, but everybody wants to work with an outstanding Trading Partner, too.

In this week’s installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments,” we have recruiters who are BOTH outstanding Trading Partners and are working with them.

In addition, we have a happy ending to a placement process that lasted over a year (13 months, to be exact).  That’s a long time to invest time and energy into something, and that makes it especially sweet when such patience and persistence pays off . . . big time!

Oh, and the recruiters involved in these recruiter network placements provided one another with great candidates, because that’s something else that an outstanding Trading Partner does.

If you have questions about how YOU can find great candidates in Top Echelon (and outstanding Trading Partners), then call Director of Network Operations Drea Codispoti, CERS at 330.455.1433, x156.

Congratulations to everybody who made split placements this week!
