Let's talk about our pricing

[TNP509]

We feel the same! That is why we are no longer even sending quotes out for jobs. Now we get charged anywhere from $15-$50 (probably higher for some people) if a customer simply replys "were going with another company". This is just greedy & a poor business practice.
Numerous Business Entities get charged Thumtack's obscene *fee(s) for the Same Job! Just for talking with the customer & answering questions, We All get charged as if We have All Won the Job! Even though we all know that is not the scenerio. Only 1 Service Provider gets chosen for each job inquiry, but you-Thumbtack-charge Every Business Entity whom the customer speaks with as if they have won the job. All in all, Business Owners are being cheated by this new system Thumtack has implemented.
If you've seen a great drop in users of your service, this is plainly the #1 reason.

I agree u get charged if the customer contacts u and then doesn't go with you so there's money your spending on a wasted job I have spent alot of money just for customers to chat and then I never hear from them how is that fair to us business people to have to pay just to chit chat and then never hear back from the person ?

[Riosm28]

I totally agree and the prices are way too high, maybe have a price range for quotes.

[HaroldC]

Yes I would agree that more consistancy in pricing would be welcome. Sometimes the bill is high sometimes low. A more important issue is if the leads produce clients who will work with you. Sometimes I have gotten quality leads that have produced and other times the people schedule a meeting and then dont show up. I have decided to require a client to call my cell phone to schedule a meeting. My time is too valuable to waste o. people who have no commitment or common courtesy.

[TEOCONNELL]

I get a lot of one off inquiries, that go No Where, yet when the alleged customer inquires I get charged! I still say the inquiry comesnfrom you guys to be ablentoncharge my account!!! Thinking seriously of leaving the service!!

the probably give you the same blather answer they give about everything!  "we are looking into it, we are thinking about it, we are re-evaluating our policies", but nothing ever changes"!

[timwing1]

yes, me too!  they just do what they want, and have not regards or answers to anything specific!  they are not interested when we tell them that the fee can be upwards of 25% of the quote.  They do not care, in the least, but they are there to help!

My jobs are mostly quick 2hr 40$ Jobs now there 50$ to 55$ and that’s off putting to my young clients and those older customers on a fixed income. Also I have paid for leads that were very vague and were just looking for advice on how to do it themselves. I didn’t mind when leads were 3.67$ but now I’m apprehensive at 10 to 15$. I defiantly quote much less

Agree
