A comedic on hold message script isn’t just some novelty you can invest in because you feel like it. It’s a way to distinguish your company and establish your brand, and it can help make your customers more eager to do business with you. It’s icing on the cake of your company; without it, it’s not really a cake at all.
On Hold Message 4 – Is there anything the caller should know about? This may be current news in your industry or seasonal promotion.
.
In 1962, inventor and entrepreneur Alfred Levy found a loose wire touching a metal girder at his factory. It amplified the broadcast signal from the radio station next door and transmitted the audio through the loose wire to calls on hold. Four years later he patented his work, and music on hold was born.
- Audio file names should contain only upper and lower case letters, numbers, underscores, and a single dot ‘.’ symbol only.
Instead of writing to inform people or to entertain them, you need to write your script as a way to create a conversation. You need to imagine what someone would say to another person and then put it on the page. Don’t be afraid if it feels like you’re talking to yourself — that just means you’re writing well.
If you are a small enterprise and want to project a business that is promoting itself at every opportunity, you can for a small outlay educate your callers while on hold about your products, services, website and more.

We will determine whether your communications platform (phone system) can use our Hosted Streaming Music On Hold Messages, which will automatically change which messages are heard based on time of day, day of the week and other scheduling preferences.

That said, despite having the tools to get it done, you may still be wondering how to actually sit down and create on hold messages. At its essence, your script is the business’s framework and what sets the stage for how callers interact with you. The only other 2 alternatives are your front door (if you have one) and your website.

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.
Once your project is produced, you’ll be able to deploy your MOH program right to your phone system. Or let us handle the implementation with our remote load solutions.
Satellite Download – A great solution if you already have our music service or if you are looking to add both.
**If you have an IP based telephone system digital equipment may not be necessary. In this case we will provide you with an audio file in the proper format for your IP system.
