Contacting identified service provider after connection by consumer via free information service

摘要

A platform for contacting an identified service provider after connection by a consumer via a free information service allows the free information service to generate additional advertising sales leads. After the free information service contacts the identified service provider and connects the calls between the consumer and the identified service provider, a sales representative of the free information service contacts the identified service provider to solicit advertising sales from the identified service provider. Further, upon connecting the call between the consumer and the identified service provider, a message may be played to the identified service provider informing the identified service provider that it is receiving the call from the consumer as a result of the directory assistance provided by the free information service, thereby demonstrating to the identified service provider that the platform is successful and motivating the identified service provider to buy advertising with the free information service.
