For example, if you have the same people calling multiple times a week and being put on hold for long periods of time, it might be useful to update your messaging more frequently so they are getting value out of the time they are spending on hold. The more specific and targeted your voice messages are, the more impactful and successful they’ll be as a marketing tool.
A typical Message on Hold program is 4 minutes long. Because a voice over talent typically reads between 100 and 112 words per minute, the script for a four-minute program can be up to 400 words, allowing for four to six paragraphs or messages, interspersed by brief intervals of music. Longer audio storage and program lengths are available if necessary.

DO: Listen to your music on hold right through once you’ve put it live to check the quality
Another opportunity to improve customer service is to provide customers with self-service information. If you have help documentation or resources online, be sure to mention them on hold, so that your callers can access that helpful content on their own, leaving your staff free to help with more unique concerns.
A customer on hold represents a great opportunity to advertise services and products. If your system isn’t, you’re missing out on the one in five callers who make a purchase based on commercials heard on hold. We offer comprehensive phone message ordering options, including:
You wouldn't put a handmade sign on the outside of your office door would you? So, why have your automated attendant greetings, IVR or voicemail announcements be recorded by an amateur?

A very good experience in buying wireless headsets. Several supplier were not helpful and I was looking for someone that knows their stuff before we buy the products. I have come across these guys and especially Scott has been very helpful and has run through the set up process step by step with me and also agreed that he would take the product back if I test it and it does not work with my RingCentral Cisco 8861 phones.Really cant praise enough the service from this company. They would be my first point of contact in future for any headset requirements.
