The boberdoo.com lead distribution system offers many ping post options for maximum flexibility in dealing with lead sellers. Below we cover 6 common ways in which clients can utilize their system to take advantage of these ping post options: ping post with static pricing, ping post with dynamic pricing, ping post with scenarios, ping post with shared legs and ping post shared with no legs.
Business Rule: In this ping post option, the vendor will ping the system with minimal lead info for eligible matches. If “Matched” on the ping response, Vendor will post the full lead. All leads that return a “Matched” on the post response will be marked as sold in the system, and the Cost for each lead is the same/static.

Margins:
Example 1: Vendor Static Cost=$10.00, your Margin=$2.00, and the Buyer's Price Offer=$11.00
This lead would return an "Unmatched" response on the ping since $11.00 - $2.00 = $9.00, and your Cost is $10.00. You would not be meeting your minimum Margin you want to make per lead, so the lead goes unsold. (If you still want this situation to mark as a Sold lead, you can set the "Ignore Profit Margin to "Yes" for this SRC)
Example 2: Vendor Static Cost=$10.00, your Margin=$2.00, and the Buyer's Price Offer=$13.00
This lead would return back a "Matched" response on the ping since $13.00 - $2.00 = $11.00, and $11.00 is greater than your Cost of $10.00, so the lead can be attempted to be sold on the Post.
Example 1: Vendor Static Cost=$12.00, your Margin=15%, and the Buyer's Price Offer=$13.50
This lead would return an "Unmatched" response on the ping since $13.50 - $1.80 = $11.70, and your Cost is $12.00. You would not be meeting your minimum Margin you want to make per lead, so the lead goes unsold. (If you still want this situation to mark as a Sold lead, you can set the "Ignore Profit Margin to "Yes" for this SRC)
Example 2: Vendor Static Cost=$12.00, your Margin=15%, and the Buyer's Price Offer=$14.50
This lead would return back a "Matched" response on the ping since $14.50 - $1.80 = $12.70, and $12.70 is greater than your Cost of $12.00, so the lead can be attempted to be sold on the Post.
Business Rule: Vendor will ping the system with minimal lead info for eligible matches. If "Matched" is returned on the ping response, the response will include the dynamic offer you are willing to pay the Vendor for this lead. If the Vendor accepts that offer, they will post the full lead. All leads that return a "Matched" on the post response will be marked as sold in the system, and the Cost for that lead is what was returned in the ping response.

Settings:
"Yes" means it will return the offer of your highest bidding buyer (minus your Margin) to the Vendor. If this highest bidder rejects the lead on the post, the lead will return Unmatched on the post response back to the Vendor.
vs.
"Yes but sold non-exclusively" means it will return the offer of your highest bidding buyer (minus your Margin) to the Vendor. If this highest bidder rejects the lead on the post, the system will look at any other Buyers who had a successful offer for that lead and attempt to them.
Example 1: Your Margin=10%. Vendor submits ping. Buyer A Price Offer=$15.00, Buyer B Price Offer=$14.00, Buyer C Price Offer=$10.00.
We would return back to the Vendor on the ping response, "Matched" with an offer of $13.50 (highest bidder's $15 minus your 10% margin). If the Vendor agrees to sell this lead to you for $13.50 they would attempt the Post. If Buyer A rejects the lead on the post attempt, we would then look at the next highest bidder, Buyer B's offer of $14.00. Since $14.00 is greater than your offer of $13.50, it would attempt to then Post to Buyer B. If Buyer B also rejects the lead on the post, then the response would be Unmatched back to the Vendor, since Buyer C's offer of $10.00 is less than the dynamic offer returned to the Vendor os $13.50
Margins:
Example 1 (with positive value): Buyer’s Price Offer=$11.00, with a $3.00 margin taken out from the matching Buyer's Lead Filter Set, Vendor Premium Margin=$1.00, then the Dynamic Offer back to the Vendor=$9.00
If the Vendor accepts that offer, they attempt to Post the lead into the system and we route it to that Buyer who offered $11.00. If "Matched" is returned to the Vendor on the post, you bought the lead for $9.00 and sold it for $11.00. If "Unmatched" is returned on the post, you did not buy the lead, and did not sell it to anyone.
Example 2 (with negative value): Buyer's Price Offer=$20.00, and the margin taken out of the Lead Filter Set for this Buyer is $6.00. Vendor Premium Margin=$-2.00, then the dynamic offer back to the Vendor=$12.00
Example 1: Buyer’s Price Offer=$14.00 with a $0.50 margin taken out from the matching Buyer's Lead Filter Set , Premium Vendor Margin=15%, then the Dynamic Offer back to the Vendor=$11.47
If the Vendor accepts that offer, they attempt to Post the lead into the system and we route it to that Buyer who offered $13.50. If "Matched" is returned to the Vendor on the post, you bought the lead for $11.47 and sold it for $13.50 If "Unmatched" is returned on the post, you did not buy the lead, and did not sell it to anyone.
Business Rule: System will compare sales prices of Shared vs. Exclusive as separate scenarios, to determine which one will sell for the most money: the Lead selling to a group of multiple Buyers or one exclusively to one Buyer.

*If Vendor is on dynamic pricing, they must submit "Return_Best_Price=1" on the ping Settings: Lead Configuration must have Matching Order=By the best pricing scenario (priorities and last lead stamp are ignored). This ping post option must be setup by boberdoo on the backend. Simply create a ticket (Settings > Tickets > create new support ticket) to let us know which lead type you want to set up with Scenarios. Example 1: Vendor submits a lead and you have 3 shared buyers ready to take this lead, and also 1 exclusive Buyer. BuyerA-shared offers $3.00 BuyerB-shared offers $5.00 BuyerC-shared offers $6.00 BuyerD-exclusive offers $15.00 The system would attempt to sell to BuyerD for $15.00 since the sum of A,B, and C was only $14.00. Example 2: Vendor submits a lead and you have 3 shared buyers ready to take this lead, and also 1 exclusive Buyer. BuyerA-shared offers $4.00 BuyerB-shared offers $5.00 BuyerC-shared offers $7.00 BuyerD-exclusive offers $15.00 The system would attempt to sell to BuyerC, then to BuyerB, and then BuyerA, since their sum of $16.00 is greater than $15.00 by BuyerD.
Business Rule: System tracks the number of times the lead is sold and will not allow the lead to sell to a Buyer who has already received the lead. The Vendor submits whom they have sold the lead to already and the system will return back to the Vendor who it then, in turn, sold the lead to.

*If Vendor is on dynamic pricing, they must submit "Return_Best_Price=1" on the ping
API specs include additional fields that must be submitted for the system to consider Legs:
*To use the Matches and/or Match_With_Partner_Hashes functionality, you must use the XML Post method of this API. GET/POST will not work. Example 1: Vendor submits a lead and it includes the “sha1” hash of the “phone” of the company they have already sold the lead to. The system would check all of your Buyer's “phone” fields and see if that same value matches one of your Buyers. If it does, that means they have sold it to one of your Buyers already, so the system knows to automatically skip/not consider that Buyer as a potential match.
Business Rule: System adds up the total sum of all successful ping price offers, takes out the total margin you set based on the SRC.

*If Vendor is on dynamic pricing, they must submit "Return_Best_Price=1" on the ping. Example 1: Vendor submits a ping and you have 3 Buyers willing to take that lead. BuyerA offers $7.00 BuyerB offers $5.00 BuyerC offers $3.00 Vendor Premium Margin= -20% The sum of the 3 offers, $15.00, minus the 20% margin of $3.00, means we would offer $12.00 back to the vendor. Remember that Buyers can sometimes reject on the post, so BuyerA could buy on the post, but then BuyerB could reject it, resulting in leads being bought for less than they're sold.
