A recent email to shoppers encourages them to join the ICPro (Independent Contractor) national database. They say a membership "badge" will appear before your name getting you more shops.
If you are an established shopper, schedulers will already know you as reliable. If you are new to MS, you will build your rep over the year.
If you join this national database, all of your shop history may be available at one location. Think of it. The number of shops you have done for the year, the total amount of all of your fees, the total value of your reimbursed expenses--all of this available to any federal, state or local official interested in knowing more about your personal business.
Spread the word to shopper friends and other forums. Don't join ICPro!
