TE Recruiters: ‘Show Me the Money!’ in 2020

It’s one thing to assign a letter grade to a year, as we asked Top Echelon Network Members to do recently, but it’s another thing to choose a famous movie quote that accurately reflects the type of year you think you’re going to experience in the future.

But of course . . . we asked Network Members to do just that. Specifically, we asked them to do that regarding this year, 2020.

It probably does not surprise you that the phrase “Show me the money!” from the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire was the clear-cut winner in one of our most recent Members’ Area polls. It might also not surprise you that the 1994 film Forrest Gump was second in the voting with the phrase, “Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

Other movies were represented, as well, and you can guess which ones by perusing the quotes below. You can also see how many direct hire placements Network Members made in 2019, along with the cash-in total on their recruiting desks for the calendar year.

Because the only thing better than a box of chocolates is a placement check.

Just a reminder: we post a poll question in the Top Echelon Network Members’ Area every week. Once you participate in the poll, you can see the results as other Members cast their votes.

We usually post a new Members’ Area poll question on Monday. We usually do that, but we don’t always do that.
