Will do Meckell.. I had already sent a screen shot of the same type of problem that Clodio2k is having as well. I'll DM you with it along with other pertinent info. Did you happen to see my OTHER post about distance/travel preferences? Ive made SURE that mine are set correctly , yet I'm getting requests from the OTHER coast of FLA... I'm in St. Petersburg, West Coast. AND my Instant Match KEEPS turning on when I refresh the resources page.. keeps doing it even though I have never used it, now will I. IF I quote, I would use my own templates. Thanks~ Leigh Clifton Studio656West

Hi, I'm getting that same file number listings in the quote when I try to add or change photographs from an existing quote. I sent a screenshot to Jordan who sent me a link to tell me how to load up photographs which I already knew how to do. Still no help on that end or why it's doing this. My existing quotes still work that have photographs on them so far. Leigh Clifton Studio656West

Meckell, The point is, WHO decides the "quality of the quote"? HOW do you attach a price point to that? I'm sorry but your explaination just makes no sense. It the same verbatem from whomever is the Moderator at the time. And no matter HOW many times you say it, it STILL doesn't make any real sense. Now, I have LOVED working with TT.. I've made money, friends, and repeat customers who recommend me to their friends. I've been a TOP PRO since 2015 and I'm PROUD of that. I have wonderful reviews.. 94 of them. How is it that TT wants to alientate PROS like me to the point we're going elsewhere to look for employment opportunities? Seriously, it really is a huge disappointment. I think by the time TT figures it out ( IF they really want to) you will end up getting crappy pros who will do cheap jobs for cheap clients. Your reputation is getting dragged down rapidly.:( I used to BRAG about how AWESOME your Customer Support was! I actually ENJOYED calling in, even with an issue, b/c Support was pleasant, happy, helpful, etc. They made me feel respected and part of the fold. Now... not so much, or not at all... I hope the cash was worth TT reputation..:( Respectfully, Leigh Clifton Studio656West studio656west@gmail.com studio656west.com 727-410-8559

@Lauren... I have now added a caveat to ANY quote I put out that says exactly that. I tell the customer that TT has undergone some dramatic and not so welcome changes in their pricing policies and that we Pros are getting charged TRIPLE what we wewre charged before to quote them on a job. I tell them that IF they don't think we would be a good fit, to let my quote :fly right by", as I will be charged if they make ANY contact with me. A lot of potential clients don't know that we are charged for our quotes. I have NO problem adding this into my quote and I think TT should TELL the client that the Pros are getting charged. INSTEAD, they keep sending suggestions to then to KEEP MESSAGING PROS..... they are ENCOURAGING the clients to contact us; EVERY contact is MONEY IN TT POCKET! I am beyond unhappy with TT at this point and their excuses make no sense. They don't care about the Pros at all... their TV ads and push are trying to get NEW Pros whi don't know the OLD system and will gladly use the new as a matter of consequence of the service.

Hi Moderator, Can you please explain how the current pricing structure will help "get down the road" to having a pro pay when hired? How is the new policy of triple charging a Pro for a "contact" a vehicle to charging a Pro for being hired? Sounds a bit convoluted to me. I'm a photographer but also an investigative journalist and I'm finding some very strange policy changes at TT that are a bit suspect; charges that were not approved by the Pro beforehand, arbitrary amounts that make no sense , leads that seem to be, well, FAKE or unsubstantiated or difficult to prove. Respectfully, Leigh Clifton Studio656West

Fodor, I have NOW added a caveat to ANY quotes I have sent out that unless the client thinks we will be a good fit and wants to hire me, they should "fly right by as I am getting charged TRIPLE what I used to pay to quote a client" I built that RIGHT INTO my quote. If that turns them off, so be it. Most don't even realize WE get charged a fee. But I'm a TOP PRO and have been hired quite a bit, so I think the client SHOULD know that if they're just looky loos and they contact me, I WILL BE CHARGED. Having said that, I have stopped bidding until this debacle of a TT money grab gets fixed. Leigh Clifton Studio656West Studio656west@gmail.com 727-410-8559

Brooks, I've actually ADDED a caveat in my quote to a potential client that if they don't think they will be a good fit, to "fly right by" as I will get charged TRIPLE what I USE to pay for a quote with TT. I also do NOT use Instant Match. I have NO problem doing that. I've stopped bidding until TT fixes this debacle of a money grab is fixed.

TT does that because NOW the MORE Pros that are contacted by the potential client, the MORE money goes into TT pockets. I looked at a quote where 7 Pros were contacted... I'v seen even more on other quotes. I'm wondering if the client is ENCOURAGED by TT to contact AS MANY PROS AS POSSIBLE, AS THIS SENDS MORE MONEY TO TT. If that is true, then shame on TT for exploiting Pros who GOT them WHERE they are today. And adding MANY more allowed quotes, one had 23????, makes it harder for the Pros to quote. Oh and by the way, whenever I try to POST, I get an error message.. same with the email... interesting, huh??? Shame. Leigh Clifton
