About 3 months ago I gave a good opinion on THUMBTACK, about their policy change on LEADS.
I changed my mind. They are horrible!
I've spent a lot of money on LEADS that went nowhere.
Here are the factors that determines why I think thumbtack should be avoided:
1. After they charge you you dont get a phone number or email of the client,
you are chained to the Thumbtack communications which is like sending messages to a black hole.
2. The leads are expensive (the screen shot I posted cost me $36)
3. The "client" can communicate back to you really nothing substantial and you still get charged. The only KEY WORDS
that it detects is "I went with someone else" "Sorry" "Unfortunately" so you won't be charged.
I answered this "clients" request and what does he say? ..."are you available?" Duh. Why would i send you a quote if I werent.
In closing, I spent $36 for a lead without a phone number or email. This person could be an evil DJ for all that matters
who gets a thrill having other DJs getting charged for answering his requests... I called and requested a refund, it was like pulling teeth. This was no client, he never answered back! I'm closing my account,
Beware! Eventective leads are much better, you get the client's phone and email at least.
