Gathering and display of sales data for an identified residence via a graphical user interface (GUI) of a mobile software application executing on a wireless mobile computer device

A system for facilitating sales, the system comprising:

• a database, residing on a server, comprising sales information for a plurality of potential sales targets, where each of the plurality of sales targets is associated with a geographic sales region;
• a plurality of mobile devices, each associated with a sales associate and comprising:
• an electronic display;
• and
• a geolocation device configured to determine a geographic location of the respective mobile device;
• one or more electronic storage devices comprising software instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to:
• receive over a network by the server, a geographic location of a respective one of the plurality of mobile devices from the geolocation device of the respective mobile device;
• query the database by the one or more processors to identify each of the plurality of potential sales targets associated with the geographic sales region within a predetermined distance from the determined geographic location of the respective mobile device;
• generate a first graphical user interface (“GUI”) at the electronic display of the respective mobile device comprising a map and selectable icons depicted on the map at positions corresponding with the geographic location of the identified potential sales targets;
• upon selection of one of the selectable icons, query the database to retrieve the sales information associated with the potential sales target associated with the selected one of the selectable icons;
• display in a second GUI, a visualization of the retrieved sales information associated with the potential sales target associated with the selected one of the selectable icons;
• receive data from the respective mobile device indicating a visit to the potential sales target associated with the selected one of the selectable icons;
• receive inspection data entered by the sales associate associated with the respective mobile device, the inspection data associated with the potential sales target visited by the sales associate;
• and
• update the database to indicate the visit to the potential sales target by the sales associate and with the inspection data.

A method for facilitating effective sales, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a database, residing on a server, comprising sales potential data for a plurality of sales targets, where each of the plurality of sales targets is associated with a geographic location, potential revenue information, and sales representative information including information relating to sales representative visits to at least some of the plurality of sales targets;
• receiving, over a network by the server, a geographic location from a mobile device having a geolocation location device;
• querying the database, by one or more processors, to identify each of the plurality of sales targets associated with a geographic location within a distance from the received geographic location of the mobile device;
• generating a graphical user interface (“GUI”) at an electronic display for the mobile device, the GUI comprising a map and one or more selectable icons depicted on the map at positions corresponding with the geographic locations of each of the identified sales targets wherein at least one of the selectable icons is associated with a visually distinct characteristic, distinguishing it from at least one other selectable icons based on a predicted higher potential success rate for a sale;
• upon selection of one of the selectable icons on the GUI:
• querying the database, by the one or more processors, to retrieve the sales potential data associated with the sales target associated with the selected one of the selectable icons;
• and
• generating, in a second GUI, a visualization of the retrieved sales potential data information associated with the sales target associated with the selected one of the selectable icons.
