Abstract
Techniques for generating leads for consumers using IoT devices at brick-and-mortar stores are provided. A retailer can determine a consumer's level of interest in a product and provide information or other benefits to the consumer. In some embodiments, sensor data from at least one of one or more consumer devices or IoT devices are received, the sensor data being indicative of interaction of a consumer with a product. One or more interactions of the consumer with the product are determined based on the received sensor data. An interaction database is searched for an interaction mapped to specific sensor data requirements matching the received sensor data. A leads score is calculated based on the one or more interactions, the leads score indicating an interest level of the consumer in the product. When the leads score exceeds a threshold, a lead is generated for the consumer.
