SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADVANCING MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES TO SALES
First Claim
1. A system for promoting conversion of sales leads into completed sales, the system comprising:
- at least one processor; and
a memory connected with the at least one processor, the memory containing a plurality of program instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to;
identify a plurality of consumer states, each consumer state in the plurality of consumer states corresponding to a particular situation in a sales lifecycle, a particular one of the plurality of consumer states corresponding to a completed sale;
ascertain one or more correlations among historical sales-lead attributes, product attributes, sales-agent attributes, sales activities, and consumer state transitions;
identify a particular product having a particular set of product attributes;
identify a particular sales lead having a particular set of lead attributes;
identify a particular sales agent having a particular set of agent attributes;
identify one or more particular sales activities; and
derive, based on application of the one or more correlations to the particular set of product attributes, the particular set of agent attributes, the particular set of lead attributes, and the one or more particular sales activities, an estimated probability that a consumer associated with the particular sales lead will transition from one of the plurality of consumer states to another of the plurality of consumer states in relation to the product.

Abstract
A system and method for advancing marketing opportunities to sales is described. One embodiment identifies a plurality of consumer states corresponding to particular situations in a sales lifecycle, one of which corresponds to a completed sale; ascertains one or more correlations among historical sales-lead attributes, product attributes, sales-agent attributes, sales activities, and consumer state transitions; identifies a particular product having a particular set of product attributes; identifies a particular sales lead having a particular set of lead attributes; identifies a particular sales agent having a particular set of agent attributes; identifies one or more particular sales activities; and derives, based on application of the one or more correlations, an estimated probability that a consumer associated with the particular sales lead will transition from one of the plurality of consumer states to another of the plurality of consumer states in relation to the product.

13. A method for promoting conversion of sales leads into completed sales, the method comprising the steps of:
-
identifying in a computer memory a plurality of consumer states, each consumer state in the plurality of consumer states corresponding to a particular situation in a sales lifecycle, a particular one of the plurality of consumer states corresponding to a completed sale; using at least one processor connected with the computer memory to ascertain one or more correlations among historical sales-lead attributes, product attributes, sales-agent attributes, sales activities, and consumer state transitions; identifying in the computer memory a particular set of product attributes for a particular product; identifying in the computer memory a particular set of lead attributes for a particular sales lead; identifying in the computer memory a particular set of agent attributes for a particular sales agent; identifying in the computer memory one or more particular sales activities; using the at least one processor to derive, based on application of the one or more correlations to the particular set of product attributes, the particular set of agent attributes, the particular set of lead attributes, and the one or more particular sales activities, an estimated probability that a consumer associated with the particular sales lead will transition from one of the plurality of consumer states to another of the plurality of consumer states in relation to the product; and publishing the estimated probability. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable storage medium containing a plurality of program instructions for execution by a processor, the plurality of program instructions being configured to:
-
identify a plurality of consumer states, each consumer state in the plurality of consumer states corresponding to a particular situation in a sales lifecycle, a particular one of the plurality of consumer states corresponding to a completed sale; ascertain, through a regression analysis, one or more correlations among historical sales-lead attributes, product attributes, sales-agent attributes, sales activities, and consumer state transitions; identify a particular set of product attributes for a particular product; identify a particular set of lead attributes for a particular sales lead; identify a particular set of agent attributes for a particular sales agent; identify in the memory one or more particular sales activities; and derive, based on application of the one or more correlations to the particular set of product attributes, the particular set of agent attributes, the particular set of lead attributes, and the one or more particular sales activities, an estimated probability that a consumer associated with the particular sales lead will transition from one of the plurality of consumer states to another of the plurality of consumer states in relation to the product.
