@walesmaven thank you. I didn't understand it either.
I found a listing for a call team on Jobslinger at one time. I hooked up with them and make 300 guaranteed calls a month and I have been doing this for two years.
@crackerstacker what is a call team? Do you make calls and get paid for doing it?
Yeah, it went over my head as well.
Wow! If walesmaven and JASFLALMT don't understand it, I am not even going to waste my time trying to decipher the post.
ACL had a "call team". I (and most everyone else) got out as fast as they could. Horrible experience.
Seems this shopper found a suitable niche. I don't do phone shops; I'm hoping the reporting requirements are significantly different from regular shops, so that the ability to make sense (in writing) -- or lack of it -- just doesn't affect the outcome.
In other words, I couldn't understand the post, either!

Same. I, at first thought they were suggesting that we could sign up to be called by a scheduler who would tell us where to go and what to do on route... basically a route planner who uses us as a puppet to do their bidding. After reading more, it sounds like they are saying you agree to be a route scheduler and make phone calls and do this service for others... so you plan their routes over the phone and send them out to the field. But then I wondered if they meant that we just get a list of shoppers we have to call and harass to go do shops for little fees. *shrugs* So, either we're applying to be a scheduler or applying to be scheduled? I'm kinda digging what I'm doing right now. It's working out well for me.

My take was...For folks who like phone shops, it seems some MSCs offer shoppers the opportunity to join a "call team." Being on a team offers stable work and income each month. The OP just found out about this revenue stream and kindly is informing others who may not be aware. OP hit the nail on the head with that one. 
There was an analogy to route shopping perhaps because the calls need to be planned out and completed over several days.
Further, 2 posters confirmed they are/were part of a call team. One likes it; one didn't.

Quit following me around, troll/CM.
I just wanted to know other people's experience on call teams for phone shops. I personally like being part of team and collaborative type environments. Also maybe some larger company leads like "ACL" (thanks SoCalMama for the lead I did know this). This is why I come here.
