Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I want to say that I think it is too difficult for customers to book a pro. Too many steps. They should have a window pop up when a customer responds that says book now. and a field that says date and time and go thats all all these other steps frustrates customers. I know from experience with them. ... View more

I think it's a good idea on paper but doesn't address  the important improvments we all need  to profit by. ... View more

As I agreed with other pros the quote fee I pay is fair and I am ok paying it when it generates a pying job that is. However it seems as if some of the persons requesting a quote know it costs me money and waste my money on purpose. I think the current system needs re-adjusting to make it more pro friendly while remaining customer friendly too. I think a way to do that is to ask a customer if they are just window shopping and price shopping. If they answer yes then bring them to are areas where they can compare prices and view pro's profiles and then have a big button they can click when they are ready to commit to hiring. ... View more

I agree, I say thumbtack should put a checkbox in the quote request for people price shopping with no intent of making a decision yet. We should not pay forsending those type of quotes . I can't begin to tell you how many times I have had requests that reply by saying." I will get back to you when I (or the comittee) find the best price", and they seldom do. Or "I am not ready for the service I just wanted to get an idea of what it would cost". ... View more

Thanks for the reply. I have to remember to go ever a preposted messgae to edit it LOL I meant to say us pros will not  be charged additional fees if Thumbtack has to do a costly upgrade to allow for the huge additional space needed for photos or videos attached to  each of a pros  customer reviews.  My apologies 4 th run on sentence. Anyway thanks for the humerous reply. I am working on my grammer. College composition was the only course I didn't receive an A for affort. I wonder why? LOL! ... View more

Ms. Cordelia really opened up a brand new topic that enlightened me. Yes they are all awsome ideas pros have. May I suggest have a link to either photos or videos for customers to click on. This will save both pros and Thumbtack money and data space both economical ways to expand the customers experience without cluttering up servers. Either Thumbtack can have a dedicated cloud server for that or the links can direct the customer to the pros free cloud  data space open times offered by browers and/or search engines such as Google, Firefox, Yahoo etc. This way all three sides win. Thumbtack doesn't go through a costly hardware and software upgrade to handle the large data. Pros are charge additional fees ... View more
