Serach results are good, but my concern is if a customer get's in touch with my business and I know nothing of the customer nor the job, would I be charged for the quote. Also would it be possibe for us pros to come up with general questions we would asked the client to learn more about the job. This way when the client contact the professional we can asked questions and know more about the job. I guess if I was a customer and I needed a videographer to do a wedding and I was found in a search result, and I was contact and know nothing about the job. I understand they could see my profile,but as a professional we need more info from the client to provide good service.   Charles Banks Avatar Creative Services ... View more

My main concern is when you get a lead, and you may have a question you would like to ask the customer but don't want to spend 50.00 to ask a question about the job, TT should change their questions to the customers so we as vendor have enough information about the job before we decide to go and 50.00 ...
