Does CORI always pay low?

March 22, 2012 04:26AM
I signed up at CORI this week and every shop is under 5 bucks and has a 20 minute slideshow and test. Are these guys even worth looking at their board?

It depends a great deal on your area. In some areas there are not shoppers desperate enough to take the shops at the initial fee offered. As the month progresses the fees on the shops increase until somebody takes them. If there is not a lot of competition in your area the fees can go to a reasonable or even downright profitable level.

It's not the norm, but one of the big box stores about an hour outside the city is at $47 this morning. So yes, they do increase. My recommendation is stay away from those video presentations as they are tedious and time consuming. Stick with the standard presentation which has thumbnails and use it as an open book test.

I've had two CoRI shops this week north of $30. They start raising commissions handsomely when they near their deadlines.

Is Cori Shopmetrics or is it Sassie ?

Neither. They have their own system which is far from the best. The good news is the reports are always on a single page. The bad news you may have trouble submitting with anything other than IE.

We differ on this one. Cori is about location, I read and druel over these 40.00+ jobs. Here in L.A. I have not seen a shop that hasn't been taken for about 11.00. The time put in passing test, looking and waiting for these prices to rise, too much time involved for me. I wish the prices would go
sky high here, just too many shoppers, so, it's a no, not worth the time.

In my area, the home improvement stores get taken at $4 weeks in advance! I can only hope the fee goes up when those shoppers are still in rotation.

They always offer the gas station shops in NY out East for $40+ for each one because no one wants to drive out there, and one involves taking a 10minute ferry ride to get to. But if you do all of them(10-12) you will get between 400 and 500.


When I was out in NY it was worth it, even though I cant stand talking to cori.

I love doing the "Sewing Shop". I have been making a baby afghan for the new grandbaby coming. It has all been yarn I got from this shop! I have 2 close & 1 a little farther( I wait for it to really go up in $$) I hate waiting for the rotation. LOL There are an awful lot of home improvment shops on the board right now. The fee is really getting up there, compared to the $4.00 to start. Makes me wonder why they are still sitting there. I have not done one since they banned me for 8 mos. and they was a year+ ago. You have to go to the website now. Maybe that is why, IDK.

Why did they ban you from that shop?
