Informational message on hold sections make user of wait time by providing the caller with product, service or support information. This is a good opportunity to cross sell items to the caller that they may be interested in, provide detailed location descriptions and general business background information.
5.0 out of 5 stars much cheaper option than professional on-hold service I used to use a professional on-hold service which would charge me about $500 every time I wanted to change my on hold message. This product works exactly as it states. I did not use the software that came with it, but with a few online searches it was easy to figure out how to convert a voice memo on my iphone to a compatible file, and background music is easy to find online too. So I read from a script I wrote with background music playing and made a voice memo on my iphone, converted it to the appropriate music file with free online software, and dragged and dropped the file into the usb drive they provided. Very low tech but the end result is excellent and I can change it up as often as I want. Very pleased with the purchase. I have an older phone system that came with my business when I started renting. There was a male adapter plug that was plugged into a CD player, but if the CD player was not running, I got no sound for "on hold". Sometimes I would remember to turn on the CD and put it on repeat, but...somethimes it would be turned off for months (the system is in an enclosed stairwell that is hard to get to).

4. Waiting Message. What callers hear when they enter the waiting queue. Sample Scripts: “All of our agents are currently busy. Please hold and we will answer your call as soon as possible.”
Hold music keeps your callers distracted from the wait, although it should not be considered a fix for long queue times.
On-hold marketing / on-hold messages provide an amazing opportunity to add real and lasting value to your business.
If multiple files are uploaded, they are played in the order that they are listed on the Music On Hold page. If there is only one file, it is played repeatedly.
Hiring a specialized on hold messaging company can get expensive. As a more affordable alternative, you can use pre-made, ready to use on hold messages and music, like the examples we mentioned earlier.

2. If the hold is more that a couple of minutes make sure to thank customers for their time. Apologize for delays if hold time is significant.
Some providers have it some don't. You would have to contact AT&T to see if they support it. Apr 14, 2009 4:53 PM User profile for user: Robni Rekk Robni Rekk Apr 14, 2009 5:04 PM in response to PsychedelicWonders In response to PsychedelicWonders
