Abstract

The present invention is directed to a system and method for capturing and consolidating a plurality of leads, each lead comprising a potential consumer customer. The method for capturing and consolidating a plurality of leads includes the steps of sourcing the plurality of leads, capturing consumer data related to the leads, consolidating the leads using a lead generation protocol and verifying the leads telephonically.

Claims

1. A method for capturing and consolidating a plurality of leads, comprising the steps of:

sourcing the plurality of leads;

capturing consumer data related to the leads;

consolidating the leads using a lead generation protocol; and

verifying the leads telephonically.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the leads comprise potential consumer customers

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of sourcing the leads comprises deploying marketing tactics in the form of advertisements.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of consolidating the leads using a lead generation protocol comprises the step of checking all consumer data for spurious or inconsistent data.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of purging consumer data that contains spurious or inconsistent data.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of returning the consumer data to the appropriate consumers for verification of the data.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the leads are telephonically verified in real time.

8. A system for capturing and consolidating a plurality of leads, comprising of:

sourcing the plurality of leads, each lead comprising a potential consumer customer;

capturing consumer information related to the potential consumer customers;

consolidating the leads; and

verifying the leads telephonically in real time.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of sourcing the leads comprises deploying marketing tactics in the form of advertisements.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of consolidating the leads comprises the step of using a lead generation protocol to check all consumer information for spurious or inconsistent data.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of purging consumer information that contains spurious or inconsistent data.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of returning the consumer information to the appropriate consumers for verification of the data.

13. A system for capturing and consolidating a plurality of leads, comprising:

means for sourcing the plurality of leads;

a computer software program comprising machine readable instructions for capturing consumer data related to the plurality of leads and consolidating the leads using a lead generation protocol; and

means for verifying the leads telephonically.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the leads comprise potential consumer customers.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the means for sourcing the plurality of leads comprises deploying marketing tactics in the form of advertisements.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the lead generation protocol is employed to check all consumer data for spurious or inconsistent data.

17. The system of claim 13, further comprising means for returning the consumer data to the appropriate consumers for verification of the data.

18. The system of claim 13, wherein the leads are telephonically verified in real time.
