The primary feature of on hold messages is that they provide a way to keep customers informed about your business. Instead of silence or elevator music, businesses can use their hold time to provide hours of operation and other useful information to their callers. Additionally, the wait time may be used to promote new products for demand generation. This can be a great tool in up-selling and cross-selling items to consumers while they wait.

The first step is to realize that writing a script isn’t like writing an article or any other kind of copy. Most kinds of writing are meant to be silently read by a single person. Yet, writing scripts is different because it’s meant to be read out loud by a specific person.
