From the worst week ever on Thumbtack to one of the best in less than 3 days
Hey guys it's Brett from Central Florida. Last week was an absolute disaster for me and I lost about $500 on bids. Leads that certainly didn't work out for me and I felt some of it should have been refunded. Out of the whole mess I did get about $23 refunded
But through the whole experience I worked with Dustio to study my preference categories. I was amazed to look at some of the landscape categories that when you check on the preferences that encompass all other categories that I still had separate leads on. So I went in there and removed any of that stuff that I had a separate category on so that I can't get charged for that price on a heavier lead.
So it was a great learning curve. But to follow up in the last 2 days I have been so blessed to have sold over $20,000 in landscape jobs.
I so despaired last week and was so upset that my beautiful Thumbtack after all those years had disappointed me that week. I should have just waited two more days before I said anything as the sun's come back out again the clouds have parted
I feel like Little orphan Annie singing the sun Will come out Tomorrow
Lol

I post this stuff because I'm not employed by thumbtack I'm a common pro just like everyone else who's just trying to make a living I have ups and downs just like you and I'm an honest person I'm going to share the good and the bad
I'll go to bed tonight praying that your adventure is doing well and that you're selling leads and taking care of your family
Warm regards
Bret
