Got it, thanks @Meckell I didn't read that message carefully enough.  Regardless, I will continue going through dozens and dozens of jobs to find the right ones. Generally I like the idea of Promote, but for me it only works in a very few categories. Before I go full-in, there needs to be two things: a) fairer quote pricing. For instance, I still don't have an accurate explanation for the differences between Cabinetry ($20/lead) and Customer Cabinet Building ($41/lead), and, b) a real policy around ghosting, to which I'm hopeful based on TT comments at the SF event and in other community threads.    ...

@Meckell #CouldBeBetter.  From my POV, that's a pretty big change in behavior. Did I just miss the communication? For services we are not promoting, do the filters (e.g., only find one-day jobs) do anything anymore? Thanks for the clarifications.    ... View more

@Meckell I was about to post with the same issue as my jobs tab is getting bombarded with partial matches. I don't want to clutter my page with partial matches. This weekend my jobs tab had nearly 100 partial matches that I'm not interested in. Are you saying there's no way anymore to limit the jobs tab to fully matching jobs? For me, that's what the profile preferences is all about. Thank you.  ... View more

Lars, I'm with you. Ghosting is just a fact of life (I've got three in my inbox as we speak) and I don't believe anyone's fault - people get busy, people get distracted, etc.  I'm very hopeful TT will soon start sharing risk and refunding (or crediting) Pros when customers reach out but then don't engage with any Pros.      ...

@Kameron I've got a follow up question on this, is # Pros contacted based on initial request or does it change if the customer contacts a Pro the next day? My observation is 2-3 Pros Contacted is really just who has Promote/Instant Match turned on. 4 or more Pros contacted the customer is reaching out to lots of Pros, which isn't necessarily good, it just means the customer probably didn't look at a lot of profiles to see who would be the best match.     ...

@Meckell Is Thumbtack ever going to be open to a Zapier integration? For example, when I create a new customer in my accounting system (Wave), Zapier creates a contact on my phone plus a new note (in Evernote). I'd love it if when I get marked as "Hired" in TT, it automatically carried all the contact information into my accounting system.  ... View more

Hi Nick, great idea, I'd be up for some networking/referrals. I work in a few home services categories, but mostly custom furniture building.  @Meckell @Kameron Maybe TT can host something at their HQ?  ... View more
