Hi Dusti! I wonder why I didn't know about your thumbtack pro meet up in LA? I was emailed about the last one but didn't hear anything this time. How did you invite people?

Thank you for keeping me a Top Pro this year! We do our best with the new rules, as we custom design, upcycle, repair & makeover jewelry for wonderful clients. I am in Beverly Hills. I'm very honored. Congratulations to all Top Pros 2019 !! :)

I got an email from Thumbtack Support. She said you can Mark your client as "hired" from the actual website, on a desktop computer. She does not know why they took away our right to "Mark as hired" from our phone apps. 🙀??

Funny, I would, but I haven't been sent any new prospects yet. Weird.

I am Top Pro also. That used to mean that our quotes would get put at the top of the list. Now Top Pro doesn't mean much. I turned off instant match. I have to pass on a lot of jobs that are outside of the normal driving distance for LA traffic. I manually "based on my templates. I then go back and click "View Competition" to see if any other pro sent a quote or was contacted. And I send a follow-up message to their potential customer. It's more work now, but sometimes they bite. It's still a crapshoot to get a customer, I'm still in the game.

You wrote this note to us back in August. To this day I have never seen a price quote from Thumbtack, neither just before or just after I hit "send a quote". Also, a lot of my price quotes are for repairs, appraisal, or consultations of design. I charge between $10 and $50. So how can you justify 25% or more% charges out of this? I know Thumbtack has to make a living, but ease up!

Thank you for your helpful hints & resources!

I know, 😊 but I just thought I could help too. Sometimes the moderators just respond with a scripted message and don't offer other possibilities for us. They keep saying instant match will solve everything.

Best thing is that pros are communicating with each other and with TT in an open forum. Perhaps TT will be listening and trying to fix things

@AAW Hopefully you have set up some quote templates that you can use within 3 minutes via your cell phone. You can do this if your instant match is turned off. They can't force you to use instant match. And you have control over your quote and the time available explained to the potential client right away. Or you can just click "pass," & TT will not send out quotes on your behalf if you're not available.
