Exactly, so when you do decline the job 150 miles away it reflects poorly in the TT algorithms, which lowers your exposure and thus provides less quality leads for the pro not using the promo acct. As if you did something wrong. Nevermind the fact that the consumer is thus receiving pros referred unfairly. The pros only primary merit is actually based on the money spent with TT. Instead of the real attributes like quality of work etc. consumers are lead to believe is being vetted in their best intrest..honestly, you can not seem to get the background check to work properly.. . Ok, so just to put this in perspective...does anyone at TT support drive 150 miles after paying 75.00 dollars for the privilege to do their job at your office everyday? Exactly, really...is it that hard for TT to make money with out all of these ridiculously obvious misses intentionally put into place...I would really really reconsider working for a company which seems to intentionally chase the money with no regard for the long game win...come on now.. look at the big picture and we will all win, You had a great platform working last fall..you already know what to do.. so with all due respect, Fix these easy issues please..not in six months.....stop kicking the professional down the road!

Thanks for the shoutout @Meckell, though you have to remember summer in San Francisco is not like summer most anywhere - FOG, FOG, FOG!!!!!  Still, there's a few things I'm doing differently: 1) take outside projects. so skipping the closet remodels to build fences, planters, benches, etc. 2) take on some bigger projects and block out time in between, so scheduling vacation balanced with making sure there's money coming in 3) stay local, so don't spend 60 minutes commuting to be home more Just a couple thoughts.    ...

@TheLast10SF  I haven't seen a TT ad in a very long time on television. Only ads that I've seen lately are on social media. Leads in my category and area have been far and few between for months now. Few weeks ago, there was this thread discussing why we aren't seeing ads. https://community.thumbtack.com/t5/Find-more-jobs/Why-is-TT-STILL-so-slow-Why-has-all-advertising-stopped-See-that/m-p/25910?advanced=false&collapse_discussion=true&q=tv%20ads&search_type=thread DJ Stevie 6-14-2019 ...

@TheLast10SF thanks so much for thinking of and sharing this idea! I've made sure to pass this along.  ... View more

I agree with silverline. The categories need to be more specific. I don’t shoot weddings for instance yet I receive a plethora of leads for that particular type of event. “Availability” is also too broad a term and needs better definition. ... View more

Ghosts are a “no thanks”, period. Not once in my 5 years on TT has a ghoster ever reached out to me later. Never. ... View more

TT needs to fix the broken app for the Apple iPod Touch.  It use to work great, but the latest updates will NOT RUN on the iPod anymore.  Everyone does not have an iPhone and I am very upset this does not work anymore!!! ... View more
