Thumbtack has become a powerful tool for contractors looking to win new jobs. Homeowners use it to find pros, compare options, and call directly. But here is the challenge: if you miss that call or fail to document the details, the lead often disappears.
Why Thumbtack Calls Are Critical
Unlike traditional referrals, Thumbtack users are shopping around in real time. They will often call multiple contractors within minutes. If you cannot answer quickly or come across as organized, you risk losing the job before you even have a chance.
The Problem With Using a Personal or Office Number
Contractors who use a cell phone or basic office line for Thumbtack leads face the same headaches:
- Calls interrupt you while you are on the jobsite
- Project details get scribbled on scraps of paper and lost
- Voicemails stack up with no time to follow through
- Office managers spend hours tracking down information from missed calls
