Use your customer’s captive time on-hold wisely to share background, insight and information about your business. Answer typical questions they might ask, prepare them to be served expeditiously or build loyalty through goodwill promotions or offers.
And if you write something that doesn’t impress your coworkers or earn accolades, that’s fine. It’s called the writing process, and it’s why most writers prefer their seclusion. All writers are embarrassed by their first drafts.

Here’s an example of some royalty-free music that we use both at CD quality and hold music quality.
It’s about engaging your caller and giving them options with your messages. This requires upkeep, and an eye on average hold time (AHT) so you know how much to prerecord for your callers. If you’re not sure where to start, go to your coworkers for some ideas – it’s there you’ll get your script going.
A music on hold adapter has an integrated analog adapter module which allows any and all of your phones to provide on hold audio content to ordinary analog and “KSU-Less” phone systems.

No one wants to be stuck on hold with silence (30 seconds feels like 5 minutes!).

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.
It seems pretty self-explanatory: on-hold messages are messages that play “on hold” over your telephone system. These professionally produced recordings are also an integral part of your company’s marketing strategy. By providing timely, relevant information about your business, an on-hold messaging program reinforces current marketing campaigns and builds brand recognition. This in turn increases call retention by improving the caller experience. To top it all off, it also increases sales by targeting key demographics.
You have reached {COMPANY NAME}. Please be assured that your call will receive the time and attention it deserves when we return to the line.
And the best part is that you don’t need to write your on hold message script to be so formal. The point of an on hold message is to keep them on the line, not to bore them to death! So, you might as well try to have some fun with it and make your customers laugh while they wait.

How about an on-hold message combined with a custom jingle for your business? Remember, jingles create a tune that all your customers will remember is your tune. Even with just our licensed music, your message on-hold means your customers will remember that catchy tune along with “Our Company won the Gold Star for International shipping” or “We now have the new 4K TVs for sale”. These are the kinds of advertising tools that Advanced Productions encourages your business to use —and we provide for you!

Holding too tightly can lead to a loss of control, apparently. I assume Don Barnes was referring to being kept waiting on the phone. Mind your grip on that receiver, gang.
