I just asked for a review from a couple, and I’m not 100% sure if it’s going to be a good or bad review. Are you allowed to display a negative review? I just don’t want to be displaying that if it means it hurts business. Thank you!

We shouldn't have to pay if they're just window shopping. I've gotten ghosted 3 times now, and that's like, $60 bucks that could've gone to a client that actually wants my service. I don't mind paying for leads, but if they're not going to respond to me even asking about the kind of service they want, why am I wasting money?

Man. I love the fact that I can get these people to contact me directly now. But NONE of them actually get back to me when I respond to them. There goes my $20 bucks that could’ve have gone to something more productive. I think we should only be paying if we actually get the job. Not when people contact us. I only say that because there have been several occasions where I will reply to a lead, not even with pricing yet, but just to know what the project actually is, and boom, no replies. It’s getting frustrating.

Yes! I've had a potential client for 3 months now that I'm working on. I paid $40.00 because they contacted me. We've been talking off and on, and now he doesn't even respond to my messages. There's $40.00 out of my pocket for someone who just decides to stop talking to me. I think we should have to pay when we're hired, not when we're talking to somene.

I also wanted to add but forgot to, I'd like a lot more detailed information about the project that is needed before I decide I want to quote them a price. As a videogrpaher, its hard to want to quote something when you have no idea what the project is even about. Like one time I ended up declining a project because I didn't believe in the heart or vision of the said project, which was a waste of my time and money to even quote it in the first place. I'd like to know every detail of what they want, who they are, and what the mission/goal is about, every request that comes my way is far too vauge. I keep passsing projects because I don't want to pay money for them to contact me with what the project is. I don't want to spend money on projects I know little to nothing about. I'd like to know every detail of what they want, and from there I can determine if its worth spending the money to quote them or not.

The thing I really don't like is the fact that you pay when you get contacted. Because getting that client is not a guarantee if they contact you. They could contact you, you pay $$ because of it, then they decide to go with someone else. Well, that's $40 dollars I'm not getting back. So, it makes me not want to contact possible clients because I don't want to have to pay $$ for clients I might not even be getting. Like, I'm still working to actually get a possible client to actually get work done, but they stopped talking to me. That's a huge waste of money that could've gone somewhere else, like a client that I'm talking to outside of Thumbtack, or purchasing an item I need for my business. All of that.

Do you have to display a review?

Re: What to do if a customer ghosts you.

Frustrated with paying for leads that stop talking to you.
