Since I've been connected with Thumbtack for several months, I must say the "batting average" is rather disappointing. Maybe 10 to 15% of those I subut bids to respond and in one case, for instance, although she stated she wanted to reschedule after a last minute cancellation, didn't respond to my text message so as to reschedule. I've cut my rates to be more competitive, have six positive reviews and a very attractive website. So my intention is to henceforth ignore more of the offerings they pitch to me for quote submissions. And being in this business for 42 years, I'm not slashing my rates out of a desperate need to get more clients.
