Thumbtack Success Workshop
One of the perks of Thumbtack Pro Rewards is the chance to attend a Success Workshop led by Thumbtack's most seasoned agents. During each Pro Rewards period pros with Silver status can hear our team's biggest tips for success, and are able to ask questions live. They're also able to hear from some of Thumbtack's Top Pros and learn some of their tips for success. Things like:
- Make your preferences work for you
- Respond to customers effectively
- Get good reviews quickly
- Tips from successful pros
- and more
@Lemargriffinfilms @junkminers11 and @ShaquealThomas - all community members and Top Pros, have joined and shared their secrets to success. And honestly, their advice has been pretty amazing. (Thank you, all!)
@ParuGambhir attended one workshop and said, “It was nice not just to be looking for a solution, but to be having a discussion about why we are experiencing a certain issue. And, all these years we’ve grown up with TT - it was great to see the people behind the scenes.”
Check your rewards status to see if you are eligible and register for this period’s workshop. And, comment below to tell us what things you would like to learn to help you expand your business on Thumbtack. If you're not quite eligible, please drop your questions below and we'll share advice here in this thread.

Great job on the recent workshop. Being able to speak directly with people who help manage the service is very informative.
For what it’s worth, one recommendation I entered was to build out the service descriptions for music-related entertainment. If you haven’t already done so, I highly recommend checking out competitive sites like GigSalad and The Bash. These entertainment-oriented sites do a great job of being able to fine-tune services.
I understand your site provides a broad range of services and it may not be able to target entertainment in such detail, but I truly believe you will gain some insight by doing the research.

I think the content was good but more useful for newer members. I did appreciate the communication and assistance from Dusti to obtain the Thumbtack widget/logo for use on my website affiliations.

Thank you for hosting this workshop! 🙌🏽 I will definitely be implementing more multiple follow-ups that Lamar recommended (I already do this, but it sounds like I need to become more strategic here). I often receive leads while I am with a client though, and since the main service people request from me is music teaching, I am unable to divide my attention, so I might need another saved reply that states I am with a client (I have a bunch of saved replies). I also think I need to “show off” more of my work while messaging the leads. 😎

while I liked the workshop, the guy running our breakout session asked for my contact info and said he would look at my profile and see why I pay for so many leads when my price or skill doesn't match what people are looking for. The last two specific wanted someone for less money than my minimum. Today I paid for a lead for someone wanting a band and I am a solo musician. Why would I get this lead. Something should be able to make this work better!

@jimpond I reached out to the team and Zak is going to get back to you ASAP! We had an issue where Zoom didn't save the chats, so if you happened to drop your email in the chat we didn't get it! We were trying to remember everyone after the workshop, but obviously missed some! Look out for an email! And thank you for posting this so we could help you!

@Lani if you go to your rewards page you can see the link (you should also check your notifications to make sure you're not opted out of emails, because we send emails about them too). The workshop for this rewards period is already over, but we do them every quarter (pretty soon we'll have them more often too!).
