@itap Welcome to Thumbtack! If you think your prices might be scaring people off, check what other pros are doing. You can use your Insights tab for that. When you go into notifications, you can see how you compare to your competition in your geographic area. When I started, I priced myself really low-- in part, to begin to get jobs and reviews. Every year I increase my prices and I am still not as expensive as some others. However, as my reviews build and my reputation builds, I can get more clients. When I write to the clients, I let them know I am available and (within reason) their wish is my command! I am a Wedding Officiant and want to make their day as stress-free as possible. I meet with the couples at a restaurant or coffee shop and we can see if we are a good fit for each other. Often we spend much of the meal laughing and getting acquainted. Generally, what seems to work is that the couple feels comfortable with me and knows I will respect their wishes (as long as no somersaults are involved!) Good luck!
