Sure, it was a short week because of the Labor Day holiday. And sure, some recruiters took more than one day off last week.

But Top Echelon Network recruiters still almost reached double digits in split placements!

In fact, as you can see below, they made nine splits. So while we might be a bit sad to see our streak of consecutive weeks with at least 10 splits get broken, the good times are still rolling in the Network in terms of placements.

And as we barrel toward the end of the third quarter, all signs are pointing to a great finish to the year for Network members. So let’s finish 2021 strong!

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our weekly placements:

• Names of the split recruiting partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
• Job title
• Overall placement fee (before TE’s 6% brokerage fee, of course)
• Fee percentage

Please note that the placements below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the week of Monday, September 6, through Sunday, September 12.  

Remember, if you don’t want information related to your Network placements published in The Pinnacle, please send an email to marketing@topechelon.com to that effect.

Congratulations to everybody below for the placements they made in Top Echelon Network!

This is a reminder that there will be a $5 price increase for the Big Biller recruiting software effective on October 1, 2021.

As a result, the price of Big Biller will increase from $70 per user per month for the monthly plan to $75 per user per month.

At Top Echelon, we’re committed to continually improving the Big Biller ATS and CRM. This price increase helps us to ensure our commitment to providing the very best products and services for our customers. See a comprehensive list of the updates and upgrades that we’ve made to Big Biller.

FAQs about the Big Biller price increase

Below are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the upcoming price increase:

#1—What about the discounts that I have now?

The discounts that everybody currently has will remain the same in terms of the percentage saved. These discounts will now be based off the new retail price of $75 per user instead of $70. For example:

• The annual pricing plan is still 15% off the monthly pricing plan. Previously, that price was $59.50 per user and now the price is $63.75 per user. (If you currently pay on the monthly plan and you would like to switch to the annual plan, you can do so within the software.)
• The Top Echelon Network member discount for the monthly plan is still 5% off the monthly pricing plan. Previously, that price was $66.50 per user and now the price is $71.25 per user.

#2—What if I’m already prepaid for a year?

If you’re prepaid for a year, then the price increase will not affect you until your current subscription ends. However, a new user will always get the rate effective on the date of their signup. Your annual subscription only locks in your current users.

#3—If I switch to the annual subscription plan, am I locked in at the price NOW ($59.50) or the October price ($63.75)?

If you switch to the annual plan now, you can lock in the $59.50 price for the duration of your subscription.

#4—Are there going to be any price increases for other products?

None are planned. This price increase only impacts Big Biller. There is no price increase for Top Echelon Network membership or other Top Echelon services at this time.

We thank you for your loyalty as a Top Echelon and Big Biller customer, and we hope to continue serving your needs and the needs of your agency far into the future. If you have any additional questions regarding the price increase that were not addressed above, please do not hesitate to reach out.

We at Top Echelon are pleased to announce that the new referral bonus for both Top Echelon Network membership and the Big Biller recruiting software is $150!

Previously, the referral bonus was $130 for Network membership and $100 for Big Biller.

Below are the specifics of the Top Echelon Referral Program:

• You can submit separate referrals for both Top Echelon Network membership and the Big Biller recruiting software and receive referral bonuses for both.
• If you’re the main contact for your agency, then we will credit your agency’s account $150 per referral. On the other hand, if you’re NOT the main contact for your agency, then we will credit the account of the Network agency for which you work $150.
• We are no longer waiting two months to hand out referral bonuses. (Or in this case, referral bonuses in the form of referral credits.) Instead, we’re crediting the referrer’s account immediately.
• There’s no limit to the number of referrals that you can give us. For instance, let’s say that you submit 10 referrals that become Top Echelon Network members and/or Big Biller customers. That’s $1,000 in referral bonuses!

To submit your referrals, send an email with the pertinent information and details to info@topechelon.com.
