[JOIN US] CommuniTEA: Live Community bi-weekly networking

If you haven't been to a CommuniTEA networking hour, you're missing out! We would love to meet you! Please join us tomorrow from 9:00-10:00am PT (10am MT, 11am CT, 12pm ET) via Zoom.
We'll do some intros and then open up for you to ask each other questions, share successes and struggles (and solutions), and meet some Thumbtack team members. This week we'll be brainstorming some ideas for upcoming AMA's in the Community — we want to know what questions or topics interest you so we can plan Ask Me Anything sessions with team members.
Join us by clicking this link. Or, RSVP here.
If you're tagged here, you've visited the Community since out last session, and we would really love to meet you tomorrow! Please join if you can!

I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow at that time that is too late to cancel. I still haven’t gotten a credit for the second bogus lead I got last week and it’s been over a week. I can’t get back on TT without this lead being refunded right now. At this point what else can I do?

Thank you so much to everyone who was able to join today! ICYMI, we discussed a series of AMAs (Ask Me Anything) in the Community, where we will collect your questions on various topics and get team members to answer those questions. We brainstormed what topics you all would like to see and here's what you came up with:
Thumbtack Led AMAs
- Ranking & Profile Views
- Max Lead Pricing
- Customer Support
- Lead Quality
- The Make-Up of Thumbtack (ie what teams make-up Thumbtack, and what do they do)
- Instant Bookings & Consultations
- Marketing at Thumbtack
- Partnerships & Integrations
- Payments on Thumbtack
Pro Led AMAs
- Industry Specific AMAs (ie how to build a successful plumbing business on TT)
- How to Expand Your Business (ie add more locations or grow your team)
- Stress & Health Coaching
- Tax Tips for Businesses
- Writing Tips (how to build a strong profile, and how to communicate with customers)
- Winning Jobs & Repeat Customers
- Photography (ie take good profile or before and after pictures)
- Booking Customers — Contracts, deposits, and more
Ok, that was everything from my notes, let us know if there are topics I missed or other interesting topics that we could work into an AMA. Have a wonderful week, and see you all again soon!

Still waiting for feedback as to why I’ve gotten so many bogus leads for logo design jobs in the past 4 months. No one has contacted me and I can’t bid again until this is resolved.

So glad to attend and see some of the new ideas in store as well as the insights of fellow Pros. 😎 I am about to unhide my business (go live), and I am a little bit nervous because my main income source, music lessons, has not been as steady these days. Sometimes leads reach out, but most of them have not been committed clients as they are not ready to start. As a result, I am not feeling as confident in my ability to "sell" even though I know I am super qualified. I would be interested in hearing how some of you have overcome challenges during slow business and needing to get new customers. I am going to start by reviewing my profile and preferences. I believe that my industry is highly competitive, and I worry that I don't "stand out" enough despite qualifications, reviews, and Top Pro status. Thank you so much! 😎

Hi @MARNIE! Thank you so much. You may learn more about hiding your business at https://help.thumbtack.com/article/hide-my-business . It is super helpful when you are unable to respond right away to leads or if you’re taking a break from accepting new clients, because to succeed on Thumbtack, it’s important to respond as fast as you can! 😎
