Q&A

Remuneration

  1. On what basis is my remuneration determined?

    You are free to set your own hourly rate.

    Then, depending on the amount of time spent on the interview, you will be paid on a pro rata basis, calculated in 10-minute increments.

  2. How will I be paid?

    Payment will be made after the interview by bank transfer.

  3. When will I be paid?

    Payment will be made by bank transfer within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.

Confidentiality and ethics

  1. Do I owe Insight Connect any exclusivity?

    Of course not. You are free to make expert calls with other firms. No exclusivity is required.

  2. Do I have to inform my employer of the upcoming call?

    No, not necessarily. This consultancy activity is a personal one. You are acting in your own name, on the basis of the experience you have built up over the course of your professional career (and not on behalf of your company, if you are an employee). And you will not be asked any confidential or strategic questions about your company/employer.

  3. How confidential are the calls?

    The clients we work with, and with whom you will be meeting, all sign a global contract including a non-disclosure clause aimed at protecting all the experts and valid for any expert intervention organised by us. In particular, our clients undertake not to publish or quote anything, and to keep their research in-house.

  4. Will my name be used?

    Your name will be mentioned to our client, but they will not broadcast or publish it.

  5. Will I know the identity of the customer?

    It depends on the case and the client. But most of the time, our clients prefer to remain anonymous.

How a call works

  1. How long does a call last?

    Most calls last 1 hour.

  2. Will I get any feedback or a report after the call?

    We systematically call our experts back after the calls. To give them feedback, to check with them that everything went well and to organise the payment. However, you won't have access to our clients' reports or notes.

  3. Do I need to prepare for the interview?

    No preparation is required. Clients conduct the interviews, with questions they have prepared in advance.

  4. Can I receive the questions before the interview?

    At the experts' request, we can provide you with the topics that will be discussed during the call, but we don't ask you to prepare anything.
