How in the world is it the fourth quarter of 2011 already?  We have no idea . . . but we do know that means it’s time for our award winners for the third quarter of the year, not to mention the month of September.

And wouldn’t you know it?  We have a familiar face among the winners.  That face belongs to none other than Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group, who has been part of these monthly and quarterly awards quite a bit during the past year.

Below are the winners of the awards for September of 2011, as well as the third quarter of the year.  We’d like to congratulate those recruiters who earned them and thank them for their efforts.  For more information about the placements and cash-in totals associated with these awards, please login to the Members’ Area and view the profiles and placement details of the recruiters involved.

Top Echelon Network is a split placement network.  As such, we place an emphasis on split placements, and that emphasis constitutes our criteria for these awards.  We determine the monthly and quarterly award winners based upon two things: 1.) The number of split placements made, and 2.) The amount of cash-in dollars earned.

Welcome to this week’s edition of Top Echelon Network’s completed split placements.  Below is a partial list of the recent split placements made by Preferred Member recruiters.  I say “partial list” because some recruiters asked that their information not be disclosed in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, and we certainly don’t have a problem honoring that request.

As I mentioned in last week’s issue of The Pinnacle, we’re going to dig deeper into our split placements and find out exactly how they’re being made (who contacted who, what information was exchanged, etc.).  In fact, I’ve contacted the recruiters listed below and have started talking with them about those very details, which will be published in a future issue.

In the meantime, though, we’d like for you to share YOUR split placement story with the rest of the Network.  If you’ve made a split placement with another Preferred Member recruiter and you’d like to tell your story, email the details to marketing@TopEchelon.com, and we’ll make sure that story is told.  We want everybody to know WHO’S making split placements, WHERE they’re making them, WHY they’re making them, and HOW they’re making them . . . and that includes you.
