Abstract
A method for providing telecommunications service pricing to a corporate client over a computer network has steps of: querying the client to choose a client profile, selecting a questionnaire profile for a questionnaire database, presenting the questionnaire to the client over the computer network, obtaining a response to the questionnaire from the client over the data network, obtaining a phone bill from the client for a period of time, and using the phone bill to determine a call traffic pattern. The call traffic pattern and the response to the questionnaire are then used to determine telecommunications service pricing over the computer network to the client.
