System and method for generating, capturing, and managing customer lead information over a computer network
A customer lead management system that relates to a system and method for collecting and organizing customer-marketing data, which is then made available to business representatives to assess. Specifically, using a computer network, and data on a potential customer's Budget, Authority, Needs, Timeframe, and other related customer data is collected. While this data is being collected, the customer lead management system stores the customer lead data in real-time instantly, automatically ranking the viability of the customer lead on the interest level of the customer lead and other variable criteria used in the web-based algorithm calculation, and automatically electronically notifies the appropriate company and / or company representative about the customer lead. The resulting customer lead profile record is located in a web server database, and can be accessed and undated in real-time by a portable computer or electronic device that has been web-enabled. The customer lead data is then capable of being accessed via a computer network by various companies that have goods / services that satisfy the needs and requirements of the customer lead. A company representative can be automatically notified when a customer lead profile has been updated.

Internet profiling
InactiveUS6839680B1Quick applicationEasy to shareMarket predictionsSpecial data processing applicationsWeb serviceStandardization
A system, method, and various software products provide for consistent identification of web users across multiple web sites, servers and domains, monitoring and capture of data describing the users' web activities, categorization of the web activity data, aggregation of the data into time dependent models describing interest of users and groups over time. Categorization is made with respect to a category tree which may be standardized or customized for each web site. User groups may be defined based on membership rules for category interest information and demographics. Individual user profiles are then created for users automatically based on satisfaction of the user group membership rules. As new data is collected on a user over time, the category interest information extracted from the user's web activity is updated to form a current model of the user's interests relative to the various categories. This information is also used to automatically update group membership and user profile information. Identification of users across multiple sites is provided by a global service that recognizes each user and provides a globally unique identifier to a requesting web server, which can use the identifier to accumulate activity data for the user. Client side user identification is provided to track user activity data on web servers that do not communicate with the global service and do not process activity for category information. User profiles may be shared among web sites that form alliances. User activity data may be aggregated along various dimensions including users / user groups, categorization, and time to provide robust models of interest at any desired time scale.

A computer-implemented method for managing a plurality of customer relationship plans may include a step of collecting profile check values from a database of customer data, the collected profile check values including customer data corresponding to profile checks for each of the plurality of customer relationship plans. The collected profile check values may then be applied to predefined selection criteria in one or more of the plurality of customer relationship plans. The selection criteria determines whether a customer relationship plan of the plurality of customer relationship plans applies to a customer. One or more customer relationship plans may then be assigned or de-assigned to each of the selected customers, depending upon whether the applied profile check values satisfy or fail to satisfy the predefined selection criteria, respectively. The assigned customer relationship plan(s) may then be applied and one or more synchronous and / or an asynchronous actions may be carried out upon the occurrence of a selectable customer event, as called for by applied customer relationship plan(s). The profile checks may include one or more plan indicator, such as customer opportunity size, customer size, market segment or a user-definable business event, for example.

CCRM is a business method and computer software system, to be used by Enterprises selling portfolios of products / services, aiming to optimize the expected value of transactions (or contracts) with consumers or business customers. At a transaction level, CCRM estimates the probability of choice of potential offers by the customer. These offers may be presented alone with possible variation of their attributes (such as price), or in combinations / sets, or in sequences. CCRM calculates the probability of consequent conversion and realization of the sale. Probabilities of choice and conversion are forecasted based on a disaggregated customer choice model, taking into account customer characteristics and stated preferences as well as product / service attributes such as price. Offers are then scored and ranked by expected value based on their revenue, cost and choice probability. Finally, CCRM recommends which offer(s) to present to the customer, at which price(s) and in which display / sequence order, to maximize a business objective function such as the expected value of the transaction / contract.

System and method of targeted marketing
InactiveUS6925441B1High response rateDescribe wellMarket predictionsDiscounts/incentivesSocio economyValue creation
A system and method of targeted marketing to consumers, including businesses and associates, based upon the financial characteristics of the consumer, type offer being made and the channel of communication for delivery of the offer. The consumer is characterized based upon financial, behavioral, and socioeconomic factors. The offer is characterized based upon the consumer and the potential for the consumer accepting the offer. The channel of communication for delivery of the offer is also characterized and combined with the consumer and consumer-offer characteristics to arrive at a net present value of the offer to be made. If the net present value is sufficient the offer is processed and presented to the consumer. If the net present value is not sufficient, the offer is revised to present a better value to the consumer (or discarded if the required offer value can not be created) thereby enhancing the chances that the consumer will accept the offer in question. In this way the system and method of the target marketing creates value in both releasing, and not releasing, specific offers.
