Abstract
A lead store system may receive a plurality of leads in a plurality of formats. The leads may include a set of information about a prospective customer who may desire to purchase a good or service. The leads may be converted into a universal format and, on some occasions, the universal format being category and/or industry agnostic. The converted leads may be stored in a database and when a request for a lead from a lead buyer is received a criterion included in the lead request may be matched to a stored converted lead. The matching lead may them be provided to the lead buyer.
Claims13
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of customer leads at a lead store system, the leads being in a variety of formats, wherein each lead includes a set of information about a prospective customer who may purchase a good or service;
- converting the leads to a universal format by the lead store system, the universal format being category and industry agnostic;
- storing, by the lead store system, the converted leads in a database;
- receiving a request for a lead from a lead buyer at the lead store system, the request including at least one criterion;
- matching the criterion to a stored converted lead by the lead store system;
- and
- providing, by the lead store system, the matching lead to the lead buyer.
A lead store system comprising:
- a link for receiving a plurality of customer leads, the leads being in a variety of formats, wherein each lead includes a set of information about a prospective customer who may purchase a good or service, receiving a request for a lead from a lead buyer, the request including at least one criterion, and providing the matching lead to the lead buyer;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the link, the processor being configured to receive the leads and requests for a lead from the link, convert the leads to a universal format, the universal format being category and industry agnostic, accessing a storage unit configured to store the converted leads upon receiving the request for the lead, matching the criterion of the received request to a stored converted lead, and providing the matching lead to the link;
- and
- the storage unit configured to store the converted leads.
A computer-readable media storing thereon a set of instructions thereon, which when executed by a lead store system cause the lead store system to:
- receive a plurality of customer leads, the leads being in a variety of formats, wherein each lead includes a set of information about a prospective customer who may purchase a good or service;
- convert the leads to a universal format, the universal format being category and industry agnostic;
- store the converted leads in a database;
- receive a request for a lead from a lead buyer, the request including at least one criterion;
- match the criterion to a stored converted lead;
- and
