Abstract: This invention can state a Client's question or request for information, answer the question and give the requested information and get a response on the question answered and a response on the information given all in one call and all of it is done on tape. The Professional has recorded a tape which lasts 3 minutes and has 3 sections each lasting one minute. When the Client calls the number is registered on the Caller I D and is decoded. When decoded it plays the section on the tape set aside for the Client. Section one will restate the question or request the Client wants answered. Section two will give the answer to the question or request stated in section one. In section three the Client has the opportunity to respond to the information given in section two after the Client hears, “Please record your response after the beep.” After the Client calls the button on the left of the Client's name lights up.
