12 The Advisory Panel 12 Why Use an Advisory Panel? The goal of The Advisory Panel (TAP) at Corporate Insight is to expand our reach into other markets. Our panel is meant for achieving access to hard-to-reach websites. We strive to have several back-up logins per firm to ensure access and test for customization. The benefit of TAP is that Corporate Insight can apply our time-tested model of authentic, first-hand experience to provide best-in-class competitive intelligence. How We Recruit It is a continuous process. Recruiting for panelists requires significant time. For each successful recruit, there are 50+ respondents that don t qualify. We do not disclose who our panelists are or where they work. We screen each prospective panelist in a telephone interview. We outline our research process, security measures for safeguarding login credentials, and how we ll interact with them throughout the year. They are encouraged to share with us any experiences they have, which may be included in our research. The Process Our research is a combination of observational and interrogation techniques. These include: surveys, indepth interviews, remote web sessions as well as on-site viewing in our usability test lab.
