Abstract
A generic type of a CD ROM business card includes a generic sales presentation for a parent company that is played over a personal computer and seen by a user of the card. At the conclusion of the presentation, the user is vectored to a home page over the Internet. The home page is maintained by a Service Provider. At the home page, the user enters a unique number that includes an ID number for an employee of the parent company. After entry of the ID number, the Service Provider verifies that the ID number is valid for the parent company and that the employee remains in good standing, after which time the user is vectored to a second address that includes a WEB site of the employee. Accordingly, significant problems of creating generic CD ROM business cards are solved whereby large quantities of them can be purchased and maintained over time as new employees are hired or others terminated. A system to utilize the CD ROM business cards and method for making them are also disclosed.
