Okay, we’re a tad bit behind . . . it happens to the best of us.  However, we would be remiss if we didn’t announce the winners of our monthly awards, and this week, those awards are from the month of April.  We now recognize recruiters for achievement in two categories every month and quarter.  Those categories are “Recruiter of the Month” and “Highest Split Placement Fee of the Month.”

Below are the winners of these awards for April.  We’d like to congratulate the recruiters who earned them and thank them for their efforts.  Remember, 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.

(And yes, more information about the placements associated with these awards may be included in a future issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog.  Because inquiring minds want to know.)

Our criteria for these awards:

Top Echelon Network is a split placement network.  As such, we place an emphasis on split placements, and that emphasis constitutes the basis of our criteria for these awards.  We determine the monthly and quarterly award winners based upon two factors, which are listed below in order of importance:

1.) The number of split placements made
2.) The amount of cash-in dollars earned as a result of those split placements

In other words, the number of split placements that recruiters make is our first consideration.  In the event of a tie, the cash-total earned from those split placements is the deciding factor and serves to break the tie.  Obviously, the recruiter with more cash-in dollars in the event of a tie is the recruiter who wins the award.
