Claim:
1. A method for prioritizing transmission of a geofence comprising the steps of: querying, by a processor of a computer system, a list of each available geofence; calculating, by the processor, a number of available geofences returned by the list of each available geofence, wherein the number of available geofences returned by the querying step is more than a maximum number of active geofences permitted by a client device; retrieving, by the processor, historical data from one or more data sources; analyzing, by the processor, the historical data for positive or negative opinions of each available geofence using a sentiment analysis of messages for keywords, location tags and time stamps describing previous interactions between associates of a user and each of the available geofences; populating, by the processor, a prioritized list of geofences from the list of each available geofence as a function of the sentiment analysis of messages for keywords, location tags, time stamps, wherein each of the geofences in the prioritized list are assigned a rating as a function of the analysis of the historical data and each of the geofences are prioritized by rating, wherein highest rated geofences are prioritized first; weighting, by the processor, the rating of each geofence in the prioritized list of geofences as a function of a relationship between the associate of the user and the user; and transmitting, by the processor, each of the geofences in order by the rating to the client device up to a maximum number of allowable geofences permitted by the client device.
