Abstract:
An electronic business site to facilitate selective communications between and among motor vehicle purchasers, dealers, and salespeople. Informational profiles of dealers and salespeople, are selectively accessed, reviewed, and compared by a potential purchaser of a motor vehicle. The profiles for the dealer and salespeople include respective textual, or visual, or audio-visual information about them. The profiles are cross-linked, so at least some of said information from the dealer profile is displayed on the salesperson profile when the salesperson's profile is accessed by a potential purchaser. In the event the potential purchaser finds a suitable dealer and/or salesperson, the consumer can initiate communications with either of them, in the form of a request for contact or a price quote, in furtherance of the goal of purchasing a motor vehicle.
