@DJStevie Thanks for the insight. I have a similar experience in that I see far more leads (between the two boxes) with targeting off vs when it is on. Because the ghost rate is near 100% regardless of which box (direct or opportunity) the lead comes into, there (at least for me) seems to be no advantage one way or the other in chances of getting a response. The fact that a lead picked me initially (when targeting is on) seems to have no greater chance that the lead will respond when I send them a message. At least with targeting off, I am able to review the request before potentially spending money, AND if I do decide to reply, my chances of getting an actual response seem no worse than if the lead came in through target on. I realize this is not how TT intends for the system to actualy work (in that there should be a solid advantage with Target on), but for me at least this is the experience I have with TT. The biggest issue remains the ghost rate (and price assurance does not really solve for that because the leads do Read the responses, they just do not ever reply). Also, because the volume is greater with Target OFF, there is also a difference from what I believe TT intended.
