@judyggray I had posted this several weeks ago, asking what happened to my professional photos. @Meckell commented that an email and/or notification was sent out. I didn't receive any notices of any changes, did you? @Meckell also gave input in the below thread link. Hope this helps DJ Stevie 5-24-2019 https://community.thumbtack.com/t5/Get-hired/What-happened-to-my-professional-photos/m-p/24384#M5533 ... View more

@DustiO  Wish I could attend. Will there be a thread posted about the update discussions from this special event? Or at least an email blast sent? Also, any plans on coming to the West Palm Beach area soon? I missed the Miami event because it wasn't in driving distance from me. DJ Stevie 5-24-2019 ... View more

@HansenJC  Good question!!! Because if a "customer" asked for our availability, then if we reply, he/she should follow up before we even get charged! Then at least we would know if that "customer" is serious in at least conversing with us. Otherwise, it's just a click-happy "customer" DJ Stevie 5-24-2019 ... View more

@JasonB  I also think that the monthly Product Roundups information is great, but why not give the monthly roundup information at the beginning of the month, or at the end of month for the next month(eg. for June at end of May, for July at end of June). I think that I've mentioned this before, but shouldn't we know of the updates prior to being implemented, instead of being surprised? DJ Stevie 5-24-2019 ... View more

@Meckell  Where it may be exciting as you say, why have us set the travel radius in the first place? Some may, but I will not venture out of my travel radius for various reasons, as explained to you and others in other threads and private messages. Which is why I would like to see only local leads as explained in my comment. Jobs Tab and travel radius should work hand-in-hand. DJ Stevie 5-23-2019 ... View more

@ScottArcangel  I find it difficult to charge by the hour as I have set packages. Trying to set hourly rates is tough, but tried it at the suggestion of a rep. I got burned twice when quotes were sent. One instance, a Job Poster saw a 4 hour quote and I had to adhere to it, even though my package was for 6 hour. There has to be a better way for you, I and others within the entertainment categories to provide pricing, and not by the hour. Not every category charges by the hour, which is something that I feel Thumbtack never took into consideration when setting this system up. DJ Stevie 5-23-2019 ... View more

@Meckell I don't think that I ever suggested a filter for Jobs Tab because I will not travel outside of my travel preferences. I just want to see more local jobs to appear in the Jobs Tab, as I said in my previoius comment in this thread DJ Stevie 5-22-2019 ... View more

@nojoh  Where this is a setting some Pros may benefit from, many may still see it as Jobs Tab not being improved to offering quality leads to us. Many have voiced their concerns in this thread from March 3rd. I'm sure that there are many other comments and concerns in different threads, even from me. https://community.thumbtack.com/t5/Manage-your-jobs/Hey-is-Anyone-Else-Getting-quot-Leads-quot-from-2-and-3-States/td-p/20496/page/5?advanced=false&collapse_discussion=true&q=january&search_type=thread My concern is that leads are still up to 150+ miles away. We still set a travel distance via Promote, so why send us leads that we will not bid on? Why not provide us a list of local leads the same as these leads come in? The leads we receive via Jobs Tab are after a Job Poster reached out to at least 1 Pro, so why can't local leads be sent to us in Jobs Tab after 1 Pro has been contacted? Many of us, including me, would like to see the lead ahead of time to see if that Job Poster is a good fit for us, not have Thumbtack determine that for us. Again, not to repeat myself from other threads, but we know our business better than anyone! Seems that the Pros, Top and former Top Pros included) not Promoting are being punished by receiving non-quality leads. DJ Stevie 5-23-2019 ... View more

@Hankster  Mr. Clark was a big influence to my career. The way he mentioned biographies and some trivia into his intros for artists, inspired me to do the same in my career, prior to or after "spinning" a tunde. People enjoy those bits of trivia, etc. It shows that I'm more than just a play music type of DJ. It wasn't a Saturday for us as kids/teens until we saw American Bandstand come on. When he started New Year's Rockin' Eve, I don't think he envisioned it to blossom into a major thing now. I also loved watching the Pyramid game. DJ Stevie 5-22-2019 ... View more
