Abstract

A computer-implemented method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: providing one or more questions to a lead; receiving a respective one or more answers to the one or more questions from the lead; identifying, by the computer system based on the one or more answers, one or more client organizations for matching with the lead; confirming interest by the lead in a client organization of the one or more client organizations; and transferring the lead to the confirmed client organization.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

providing one or more questions to a lead;

receiving a respective one or more answers to the one or more questions from the lead;

identifying, by the computer system based on the one or more answers, one or more client organizations for matching with the lead;

confirming interest by the lead in a client organization of the one or more client organizations; and

transferring the lead to the confirmed client organization.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying the lead, wherein identifying the lead includes receiving contact information for the lead.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising initiating a communication with the lead using the received contact information.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the communication is selected from the group consisting of a telephone call, an electronic communication, hardcopy correspondence, and combinations thereof.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying a plurality of leads having a confirmed interest in a client organization based on questions provided to, and answers received from, each of the plurality of leads;

applying a rule set to determine a sequence in which the plurality of leads are transferred to confirmed client organization; and

transferring the plurality of leads according to the determined sequence.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein providing one or more questions to the lead includes retrieving, from a data store, at least one question received from a client organization of the one or more client organizations.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising comparing the information from the questions to information from one or more other sources to verify the information from the questions is correct.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein transferring the lead to the confirmed client organization includes one or more of:

transferring a live telephone call involving the lead to a representative for the confirmed client organization;

transferring a web-based chat to a representative for the confirmed client organization; and

redirecting the lead to a web page associated with the confirmed client organization.

9. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to:

provide one or more questions to a lead;

receive a respective one or more answers to the one or more questions from the lead;

identify, based on the one or more answers, one or more client organizations for matching with the lead;

confirm interest by the lead in a client organization of the one or more client organizations; and

transfer the lead to the confirmed client organization.

10. The medium of claim 9, wherein the medium further stores instructions for identifying the lead, wherein identifying the lead includes receiving contact information for the lead.

11. The medium of claim 10, wherein the medium further stores instructions for initiating a communication with the lead using the received contact information.

12. The medium of claim 11, wherein the communication is selected from the group consisting of a telephone call, an electronic communication, hardcopy correspondence, and combinations thereof.

13. The medium of claim 9, wherein the medium further stores instructions for:

identifying a plurality of leads having a confirmed interest in a client organization based on questions provided to, and answers received from, each of the plurality of leads;

applying a rule set to determine a sequence in which the plurality of leads are transferred to confirmed client organization; and

transferring the plurality of leads according to the determined sequence.

14. The medium of claim 9, wherein providing one or more questions to the lead includes retrieving, from a data store, at least one question received from a client organization of the one or more client organizations.

15. The medium of claim 9, wherein the medium further stores instructions for comparing the information from the questions to information from one or more other sources to verify the information from the questions is correct.

16. The medium of claim 9, wherein transferring the lead to the confirmed client organization includes one or more of:

transferring a live telephone call involving the lead to a representative for the confirmed client organization;

transferring a web-based chat to a representative for the confirmed client organization; and

redirecting the lead to a web page associated with the confirmed client organization.

17. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

memory in communication with the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor;

provide one or more questions to a lead;

receive a respective one or more answers to the one or more questions from the lead;

identify, based on the one or more answers, one or more client organizations for matching with the lead;

confirm interest by the lead in a client organization of the one or more client organizations; and

transfer the lead to the confirmed client organization.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the memory further stores instructions for identifying the lead, wherein identifying the lead includes receiving contact information for the lead.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the memory further stores instructions for initiating a communication with the lead using the received contact information.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the communication is selected from the group consisting of a telephone call, an electronic communication, hardcopy correspondence, and combinations thereof.

21. The system of claim 17, wherein the memory further stores instructions for:

identifying a plurality of leads having a confirmed interest in a client organization based on questions provided to, and answers received from, each of the plurality of leads;

applying a ruleset to determine a sequence in which the plurality of leads are transferred to confirmed client organization; and

transferring the plurality of leads according to the determined sequence.

22. The system of claim 17, wherein providing one or more questions to the lead includes retrieving, from a data store, at least one question received from a client organization of the one or more client organizations.

23. The system of claim 17, wherein the memory further stores instructions for comparing the information from the questions to information from one or more other sources to verify the information from the questions is correct.
