Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed including a computer-implemented sales Lead Marketplace System (LMS) configured to provide sales leads or information associated with customers to merchants. In various embodiments, the lead marketplace presents a user interface, implemented using various software modules running on a computing device, to customers to specify their identities and the goods and services they seek.

LMS may also collect various information about the merchants and the customers, such as customer satisfaction, merchant's quality of work, merchant's and customer's behavior, and the like to build a profile for each to allow matching of customers and merchants for high quality results for both.
