An expected value system for paying and qualifying realbuyers (EVSPQ-RB) is an online database system that enables a seller to pay conditional, expected value payments to realbuyer prospects for their attention to a message. In an EVSPQ-RB, users are eligible to win payoffs if they match the realbuyer conditions set forth by a paying seller. A user who has conditionally won a payoff can then claim the payoff. An EVSPQ-RB tracks the users who have accepted a seller's payment offer and who have claimed a corresponding payoff. The invention is a method for improving an EVSPQ-RB comprised of the following steps: a. upon a seller's request, presenting the seller a list of users who have claimed a payoff from an offer made by the seller via the EVSPQ-RB, b. enabling a seller to specify and view a list of claimants by the product or service bought, or by who the seller bought from, c. enabling the seller to select any of the claimants in the list to be queried, d. enabling the seller to query the selected claimant(s) via email, web form, interactive voice response, and/or phone conversation, e. enabling a seller ask payoff claimants a market research question, f. enabling the seller to receive answers back from the claimants. |
