The enhancement list may comprise one or more data bundles, each comprising indicators associated with one or more additional data items. A personalized data bundle may be created by each client listing those specific additional data items that the particular client would like to retrieve for lead records from the client. A default data bundle may be included in the enhancement list for clients that have not defined a personalized data bundle, or the default bundle may be included in the enhancement list in addition to the personalized data bundle. Various default bundles, such as vertical market specific data bundles, may be created and provided to the client for possible inclusion in the enhancement list.

US Classification:

705 10

Abstract:

A client transmits one or more lead records to a lead enhancement module that is configured to enhance the received lead records and return enhanced lead records to the client. The lead enhancement module may return a contactability score for each lead record, indicating a likelihood that the individual identified in the lead may be contacted using the contact information provided in the lead record and/or additional contract information located by the lead enhancement module. The lead enhancement module may also receive additional data items associated with leads from one or more data sources. Additionally, statistical models that may be customized for each client may be applied to information associated with lead records in order to determine one or more propensity scores for each of the lead records, where a propensity score indicates a likelihood that an individual will take a particular action, such as purchasing particular goods or services.
