Common FAQ’s

What if I'm not selected for the project?

Our clients run projects to extremely tight deadlines and they may request calls even the same day.

Their selection criteria will depend on how appropriate your knowledge is to answer a quesiton, your near term availability and your hourly rate.

If you are not selected for a call, fear not! We will be back in touch with another interesting project

What is my information being used for?

proSapient runs projects on behalf of management consulting firms and private equity companies.

Generally, they are trying to get smart about an industry that they haven't previously done much work on and find calls with people like you to be an efficient way of finding the information that they need.

Your contributions are completely anonymous and are used to form the basis of studies including market mapping and market sizing.

What happens if a project is paused, delayed, or canceled?

While we always strive to keep the expert experience as transparent as possible, sometimes clients' needs change.

We understand that as an expert it may be frustrating to have a project be delayed or even canceled, but unfortunately, this is beyond our control.

What we can control is an open channel of communication with our dedicated team.

I don't want to share anything confidential

We expressly forbid any confidential information to be shared over any consultation calls. This prohibition is written into our contract with every client as well as your own.

The type of information you will be sharing would be classed as 'non material' and 'non confidential'. 

Some examples of questions you may be asked would revolve around 'What is the market size of X', 'what is the growth rate of market y', and 'can you compare these three offerings as a customer'
