TE Network Producer Panel

Top Producers Panel: Inside the Mind of TE Network’s Highest Billers

What separates consistent split-placement producers from everyone else?

In this candid, no-fluff panel discussion, some of TE Network’s top-performing recruiters pull back the curtain on exactly how they use the Network to increase productivity, build powerful trading partnerships, and drive higher billings year after year.

You’ll hear directly from proven producers as they share:

  • The specific TE tools that have made the biggest impact on their agencies
  • How they integrate TE Network into their daily recruiting strategy
  • What a true “core group” looks like—and how often they connect
  • How they evaluate jobs and choose trading partners
  • The mindset of successful importers and exporters
  • What makes a long-term, profitable split relationship work
  • When and why they stop working a job or partner
  • How they leverage TE Network with clients and candidates
  • The biggest lessons they wish they knew when they first joined

This interactive discussion will give you practical insights, real-world strategies, and actionable habits you can implement immediately to strengthen your partnerships and increase your split revenue.

If you want to think—and bill—like a top producer, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
