Ability to set a minimum per project
Hi there,
Wanted to bring forth the suggestion of allowing the option to put the minimum rate required when booking for a project.
Because of the way the system currently calculates rates, I have been receiving bookings that pay out between $2 and $5 (because they are technically only "1-2 words", despite the client requiring a handful of takes.) Practically speaking, this rate comes out to be insulting, especially when you consider we have to set aside time and set up recording for each job, etc.
As of now I'm assuming the only way to fix this is to raise my rates so that I won't get hit so hard on small projects, but I feel it would be very helpful to include an option that says - for example - "this Pro has a minimum booking requirement of $25 per project". This might also encourage the clients to combine these smaller projects into one request which would enable talent to record all in one go rather than setting up a new session every couple of days for pennies.
Thank you very much for considering!

Hi there, Anon!
Thank you so much for your comments. Currently, you set your rates per word. Charging a $25 minimum for projects would interfere with this pricing structure, and indicating that a Pro only charges past a certain price point might drive more clients away from you than reel them in. Furthermore, some of our clients may not be in a position where they may batch projects up given their delivery schedule.
That being said, I've relayed this suggestion to my team leader and will go over this one as well as the issue of the extra takes for very short projects with the Operations team.
Thank you so much for your time and I wish you a wonderful 2020!
I too think is a completely bogus way of setting up rates for projects, any project that will pay under $20 for me is going to be rejected on my end. I am NOT getting in the booth for $1-5. That's absurd.
I think voice bunny should definitely respect their pros, instead of having them dish out to any client.
Hi Grant,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, we'll let our team know about your comments so they can keep them in mind for future updates in the system.
Have a wonderful day!
