System for providing sequenced communications within a group
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating sequenced communications to members of a defined group, the system comprising an application interface implemented in software and accessible to a communicating user connected to a telecommunication network, wherein the interface enables the communicating user to initiate a single communication session in which the communicating user is sequentially stepped through separate communications in a sequential communication session to each of a plurality of members in the defined group, without the communicating user having to initiate separate communication sessions for each member.
