Human time allocation and monetization system

Abstract

In accordance with teachings of the invention, a system is provided to allocate meeting time to vendors. Various embodiments of the system allow for vendors to pay for the time of a busy person, such as an executive or professional. In embodiments of the invention, upon securing the time of a busy person with a successful meeting proposal, the proceeds from the meeting value are subsequently allocated to a charity selected by the executive or professional.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for organizing and separating useful vendor solicitations from other solicitations performed by a meeting solicitation management platform having at least one processor running computer executable instructions stored on at least one computer readable medium, the platform for helping at least one vendor manage requests to at least one executive, comprising the steps of:
 submitting a list on the platform which includes at least one nominated executive information with whom the at least one vendor wants a meeting;   processing the at least one nominated information to obtain a valid email address of at least one executive;   creating an executive profile corresponding to the at least one nominated executive in the platform wherein the executive profile includes meeting interests of the executive;   submitting a monetary amount the at least one vendor will donate to the at least one nominated executive's charity should the at least one nominated executive accept a meeting with the vendor;   activating the at least one executive profile by the at least one executive; and   informing the at least one vendor of the at least one nominated executive joining the platform, so as to review the nominated executive's meeting interests and submit a relevant meeting request.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the at least one executive information includes name, title, company and email address of the at least one executive. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the steps of:
 initiating an automated campaign to educate and inform the nominated executive about the platform and the monetary amount the vendor will donate to the nominated executive's charity so as to entice the nominated executive to join the platform. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the steps of:
 providing the vendor with the email address where the executive can receive all email solicitations to the platform;

         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the steps of:
 submitting the relevant meeting request by a new meeting request input executable by the at least one processor for allowing the vendor to provide a sufficient amount of information to the executive so that the executive can determine whether to accept a meeting with the vendor; and 
 limiting requests received by a maximum allowed meetings selector executable by the at least one processor for limiting the number of meeting requests permitted during a selected period of time by vendors for review by the executive; 
 deciding to accept a new meeting by a new meeting request input executable by the at least one processor for allowing the vendor to provide a sufficient amount of information to the executive so that the executive can determine whether to accept a meeting with the vendor; and 
 orchestrating a meeting between the vendor and the executive. 
 
     
     
         7 . The platform of  claim 1  wherein the executive's selected charity is chosen by the executive from a predetermined list on the platform.

         9 . A method for organizing and separating useful vendor solicitations from other solicitations performed by a meeting solicitation management platform having at least one processor running computer executable instructions stored on at least one computer readable medium, the platform for helping at least one vendor manage requests to at least one executive, comprising the steps of:
 submitting a list to the platform which includes at least one nominated executive information with whom the at least one vendor wants a meeting;   processing the at least one nominated information to obtain selected executive profiles which include the at least one nominated executive information provided by the at least one vendor;   submitting a list of the executive profiles which include the at least one nominated executive information to the at least one vendor; and   submitting a relevant meeting request by a new meeting request input executable by the at least one processor to a nominated executive.   
     
     
         10 . A computer readable medium storing a set of computer executable instructions for running a meeting solicitation management platform having at one processor for helping at least one executive manage requests for their time by at least one vendor that when executed by the at least one processor causes the meeting solicitation management platform to establish communication between an executive and at least one vendor by:
 creating an executive profile corresponding to the at least one executive in the platform wherein the executive profile includes meeting interests of the executive;   providing the executive with an email address where the executive can forward all email solicitations to the platform;   forwarding the email solicitations from the vendor to the platform;   transferring intelligence to the vendor to educate and inform the vendor about the executive's meeting interests and the process the vendor may take to submit a relevant meeting request to the executive;   submitting the relevant meeting request by a new meeting request input executable by the at least one processor for allowing the vendor to provide a sufficient amount of information to the executive so that the executive can determine whether to accept a meeting with the vendor;   limiting requests received by a maximum allowed meetings selector executable by the at least one processor for limiting the number of meeting requests permitted during a selected period of time by vendors for review by the executive;   deciding to accept a new meeting by a new meeting request input executable by the at least one processor for allowing the vendor to provide a sufficient amount of information to the executive so that the executive can determine whether to accept a meeting with the vendor; and   orchestrating a meeting between the vendor and the executive.   
     
     
         11 . The computer readable medium of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 submitting a form on the platform which includes name, title, company and email address of a nominated executive with whom the vendor wants a meeting and a monetary amount the vendor will donate to the nominated executive's charity should the nominated executive accept a meeting with the vendor;   initiating an automated campaign to educate and inform the nominated executive about the platform and the monetary amount the vendor will donate to the nominated executive's charity so as to entice the nominated executive to join the platform; and   informing the vendor of the nominated executive joining the platform, so as to review the nominated executive's meeting interests and submit a relevant meeting request.
