I don’t mind the pricing because the spread is still good for me, I think 1. pros should keep their prices high and increase the value. It makes it easier for other pros to charge a premium. 2. I think thumbtack should let customers know that every contact results in a charge for us pros, this way they’re conscious When replying. 3. Thumbtack should remove “conversation starter” that’s almost always wasted marketing dollars for us. 4. Maybe explore charging us at a partnership level, only take a peice when we get hired and a money exchange takes place. This might keep a lot more pros active. Just a few suggestions but my main problem is not pricing it’s phoney customers in that they’ll respond with “got time for a chat?” And when I follow up I never hear from them again. I follow up every few days with all leads I’ve purchased and it almost sees like they’re fake profiles.
