@MMM_Memories I see your post got buried in between posts from 2 weeks ago. I have questioned why they do this, never got an answer that made sense.

I can be following a discussion and the posts can, for example, start on Saturday, next post could be on Tuesday, next post is from previous Sunday, etc. Doesn't it make more sense to have responses in the order that someone writes them, instead of jumbling them all around? Cranichik 7-19-19

Yes, most of us feel this way. There used to a limit of 5 pros who a customer could contact. It was SO much better. I agree, I wouldn't bother with someone who contacted 10 pros, either.

All of the above reasons are why I can't use promote. Clients do not fill out the requests thoroughly, and I am very specific with what I can and cannot do. I can't afford to waste money, just to find out the lead is useless. If I get a decent request in the jobs tab, I will manually quote.

@Movers96 Join the club! Yes, they delete. And they bury the topic inside another one, as in this case. The topics go from Feb 2019 to today, in a mixed up order. Makes no sense!

@PhilippaB Do you realize that the Pro's here are Thumbtack's customers? I think we should be treated as such, using your 4 statements. I haven't used thumbtack much lately because of the poor customer service I receive.

@bill1967 you have to respond to meckell like this @Meckell If you don't use the @ she won't know you are responding.

This is why I don't use promote. I never saw the sense in being charged for a useless lead for some job I can't or won't do. I prefer to just check the jobs tab, and IF I see a good lead, I will respond.

"How serious the customer is" How does thumbtack know how serious a customer is? Telepathy?

@Meckell Well, I have tried to use thumbtack as a job poster. I am a pet sitter, but I needed to go out of town and needed a pet sitter for my own dogs. I filled out the request, specifying my zip code (pet sitters do not travel far), but still got sitters suggested hours away from me! I need 3 visits a day, normal for pet sitting, so obviously you need to live close. Why should I bother with thumbtack when I requested someone in my area, and they suggest people 100 miles and more away?? Come on, this is pet sitting!! Who is going to drive this distance, 3 times a day, for $20? I posted on Nextdoor, for free, and got a neighborhood sitter. For this instance, thumbtack did not work for me. cranichik 5-21-2019
