For a certain business reason, about 2 weeks ago I turned on Target for my categories in a rather wide geography. Happily the number of leads significantly increased and the number of leads that picked me as a pro increased as well. This is a good thing. Obviously, with the number of leads selecting me the amount of money I am spending on TT has increased as well. But, even though I have seen a nice uptick in the number of leads in my inbox, if I remember correctly, even after multiple attempts to reach out to the lead, maybe one or two actually responded in any way. The ghost rate here remains deplorable. Now, I dont need to rehash the many complaints that have been posted, but I ask what is being done to at least give us pros an indication of whether or not these people are real or are serious about hiring me???? I widened my scope as an experiment to see what I could get in some new geographies, but without some kind of assurance or positive sign, I will have to turn it off as fast as I turned it on. When are we going to see read - receipts? When are we going to see some indication that the lead is serious... when are the leads going to actually start responding to the pros' multiple messages almost begging to see if the lead has a heartbeat???? TT, this issue has festered far too long. Somebody over there needs to start taking action on this in a tangible way that ALL pros can see. Please provide an update on this very important issue.
