Did you know that well-designed on-hold messages with pleasant, enjoyable, smiling narration, have the power to make your callers feel more confident about retaining your services? It also increases their trust in your company. It's tricky, but the reverse is really true. An unpleasant delay provides your callers with a great opportunity to judge your facilities and customer service.
Helpful message on hold sections are meant to speedily improve the caller experience. Good content to provide during these sections might include information that the caller may be looking for on their call, information regarding access to a business location, troubleshooting steps and problem resolution and information on organizational changes that the caller may need before proceeding with their call.
Here’s something else you can do with your mobile phone – it can help you run your business, whether you’re a team of one or many. Today, most business owners stay in touch with customers using both an office phone and a mobile phone. Because they don’t want to mix personal and business communications or give out their personal phone number, they typically buy a separate cell phone. LinkedPhone is changing that – and saving business owners a lot of money in the process.

Here are a few things to keep in mind to have a killer script your callers will be receptive to: Speak to your audience: When creating a script, make sure you know WHO you’re talking to above anything else. Is it moms, teenagers or middle-aged men who like golf? Appeal to their interests in relation to your business with a captive voice, and they’ll be much more willing to listen (and be patient while doing so). Time it appropriately: You know your business better than anyone else, so as such, you’re probably aware of a caller’s average hold times. While this can vary with growth and other factors, make sure you record enough messages to fill the time so a caller isn’t stuck hearing an eternal loop of the same 3 messages. They’ll thank you for it by being far less irritated. Stay current: Some companies have seasonal sales and changes, so including this in your script as the year progresses means you remain relevant with the latest and greatest. For example, during the holidays you can say “Seasons greetings from Fletcher’s Flowers...” or something similar. You can also include event notifications, advertisements, and other informational messages so they learn more about your business. Be natural: Think about how you’d like to be talked to. Typically, a robot isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Writing for auditory purposes elicits a different approach than writing for digital or print. Make sure whatever your script is that you read it aloud, and test it out on coworkers or friends. If they get bored or disengage, chances are, your callers will too. Know their path: What’s your end goal for what you’d like your caller to accomplish? Tailor your messaging to them based on what you come up with. If you’d like to upsell, consider using some on hold time to discuss a company-wide promotion they can take advantage of, or a fun fact about your industry they wouldn’t know. Give a call-back option: If your phone system has the feature and a caller doesn’t have time to spend on hold, offer them the option to receive a callback without affecting their position in line, or to leave a message. This can alleviate the stress of waiting.
When your customers are on hold, they’re essentially a captive audience. They’re already waiting to speak with you, so why not take advantage of that downtime and create a sales pitch that sells more of your goods and services while they wait?

It seems pretty self-explanatory: on-hold messages are messages that play “on hold” over your telephone system. These professionally produced recordings are also an integral part of your company’s marketing strategy. By providing timely, relevant information about your business, an on-hold messaging program reinforces current marketing campaigns and builds brand recognition. This in turn increases call retention by improving the caller experience. To top it all off, it also increases sales by targeting key demographics.
The common scripts include: “The next available representation will be with you shortly” or simply “We will be with you shortly”. These messages often work best when coupled with expected waiting time announcement.
