AD Service Provider, On Hold Marketing, can put together a clear and concise customized phone greeting that conveys the professionalism of your company and lets the caller know how important their call is to you. Scriptwriters will educate and promote your business to on-hold callers through a custom-tailored message – letting everyone know what specifically makes your company different from others. This is your chance to share your background, insight and information about your business, promotions, and products and services to your captive audience. Recordings are available in English, French, Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese.
This plays immediately after the initial greeting message. If all agents continue to remain busy, the caller will continue to hear the On Hold Music, which can be either music or a message. Click Create Call Queue or click Edit (pencil icon) to the right of the queue you wish to select. Select Change under Hold Music. Enter the Name and the Phone Number or Extension you wish to record your initial greeting on. Click Call Now and follow the instructions.

One of the most challenging aspects of writing for speech is optimising text to be read aloud and recorded. On paper, long, complex sentences are easily accommodated. When read out aloud, the same sentences can sound awkward and confusing.
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.
People don’t like going on hold, but you knew that. Funny, considering the early telephone users had to wait to be connected anyway, but now we expect an immediate connection. Think back a couple of decades to the dial-up era. You probably remember the time it took for AOL to connect—and the sounds that went with it. Now, a web page that takes more than a few seconds to load is inexcusable.

Unfortunately, it gets worse. Due to general sloppiness when it comes to setting the volume level for music on hold, a form of distortion known as “clipping” can appear, and regularly does if you’re willing to believe personal anecdotal evidence. If you want to know about the science behind clipping, then Wikipedia will tell you everything you need to know, but for those of us who have things to get on with, we can get by just knowing that when something is played too loud down a phone line, the sound starts to distort and sound really horrible.
Had an urgent recording request and Sophie at Messages on Hold was onto it for me straight away. On this occasion, she was able to make my ridiculous next day timeline request and I'm very happy with the results of the 7 recordings! Great customer service the whole way through. Highly recommend. 7 months ago
