Don’t miss out on an opportunity to educate and entertain your callers (bundled with the possibility of making that extra sale, which is always a plus). You can utilize on hold messages in a variety of ways to get engagement from your callers and to ensure they feel in control. All it takes is the right script, the right voice, and habitual updates dashed with a little bit of creativity.
Custom Messaging on Hold couldn’t be easier to get started with. You have the option to record your own messages or we can arrange for a professional voice artist to record them for you. We also offer a choice of on-hold music depending on what best suits your business, with a range of tracks from gentle, relaxing music to fast-paced tunes.

1. TO IMPROVE HOW LONG CALLERS ARE WILLING TO STAY ON HOLD. Statistics from a CNN survey cited by Chron.com state that “70 percent of callers who are placed on hold with just silence hang up within 60 seconds; of them, 35 percent won’t call back.”
We supply many styles of messages including music only, music plus reassuring courtesy messages, trivia or humour. In addition you could choose a dynamic mix of information about your business, products, and services along with educational consumers tips.
The idea of creating a custom on-hold message may sound daunting, but advancements in technology have made it a lot easier in the last few years. In its simplest form, all you need is an audio file. Before you start, check with your IT support team or phone system vendor to see if there are any special requirements you need to be aware of.
Not to mention it's completely illegal to play the radio to callers on hold. Although the radio station has the appropriate license to broadcast music, your business does not, and that could leave you paying major fines.
Finally, take into account the reduction in quality that goes hand in hand with hold music. The audio quality is—at best—24 times worse than that from a CD. Yes, we just said CD. The public telephone network wasn’t built with HD music in mind. Thankfully for OnSIP customers, we provide HD radio for VoIP music on hold. That said, your company might have top of the line audio quality, but if clients call in from an old landline or cell, they might hear some distortion.

For those of you who are familiar with the veritable purgatory that is being “on hold,” I don’t have to tell you that you have just been thrust into a parallel universe where time slows down, and both your patience and sanity cannot survive.
When it comes to writing comedy, you need to have people around you. There should be people around you that you can bounce ideas off of. Otherwise, you’ll just be telling yourself jokes and slowly go insane as you force yourself to laugh at your own jokes.
