When your callers are on-hold, it’s a perfect opportunity for you to promote your business, company, products or services. It’s also an opportunity for you to provide generic tips and content that will catch the interest of your callers. This strategy is called being abundant and being abundant in the business climate today can yield your business more dividends by directly increasing the loyalty and satisfaction of your business clients.
All our customer service advisers are busy. Due to currrent high volume of calls, it may be some time before an adviser is able to take your call. either continue to hold or press 1 and leave your details and we will call you back later today.
For those still using analogue or digital phone systems, voice on ISDN circuits has a bandwidth of around 4000Hz. The audio from an analogue phone is sampled at 8000Hz, and because of the nyquist theorem, must be low-pass filtered to 4000Hz. So any frequencies in the audio beyond 4000Hz are lost. Interestingly, the human ear and mind are good at recognising human speech, so this is considered "toll-quality" voice, i.e. good enough to pay for. This is the reason why certain vocalised letters are difficult or impossible to tell apart on the phone. For example, the differences between B, P, T, C, etc. are almost entirely above 4000Hz.
On-hold messages interact with your callers when your operators and representatives can’t. Present a quality first impression while reducing call abandonment. We’ve been creating custom Message on Hold programs since 1987. Every on-hold program is a unique creation for your brand, highlighting what you do and what you do best. Listen to our demos.
