System and method for conducting company searches and lead generation using company code index

摘要

The various embodiments of systems described herein result from the realization that results from online searches and inquires about companies can be strategically aggregated to report to businesses additional information regarding potential buyers, potential investor's or employee's interests, and/or whether or not a follow up call is required. The system and method described herein further provide for businesses to register and list their businesses on a company search code index listing whereby each company is assigned a unique company search code index for additional review of the company's profile. In doing so, a user/investor/potential employee can research the company's profile using the search code index and communicate his/her interest in the business through the system and method disclosed herein.
