AmeriGas wanted to reach contractors with information about how they make it easy to add propane to a home. They also needed to assure customers that AmeriGas is the right choice for home propane service. We do this for them through scripting focused on how AmeriGas services accounts, as well as payment plan options. Brian Holsopple carries this strong production for AmeriGas.
Yes, a new On Hold Messaging program would surely make you the envy of the neighborhood, but before you start bragging about your on hold messaging prematurely, make sure you have a telephone system with a working Music On Hold (MOH) interface.. Don’t confuse a few multi-line phones with hold buttons for a telephone system.
.
To help you get started, we'll explain the effect that phone hold music has on customers, lay out the key criteria for selecting the best hold music, and even provide a free track that was selected by voters as the perfect hold song. Why hold music is worth investing in.

Start with a Warm Greeting. When customers get to your on-hold message, let them know who they have called and offer a very brief introduction to your business. Example: “ Thank you for calling ABC Plumbing, Tampa’s most trusted plumbers for over 20 years .”. Let the caller know what they should expect to happen next.
We collaborate with your business to create an on hold message that’s specifically designed for your needs.

Here’s an example of some royalty-free music that we use both at CD quality and hold music quality.
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. Things like: How long can the recording be? What type of audio file does it need to be? Is there a maximum file size?
6. Full Waiting Queue Message. What the caller hears when the waiting queue is full. Sample Scripts: “We are currently experiencing high call volume. Please leave a message with your name and phone number and we will return your call as soon as possible.”
The cost of a message/music on hold system depends on whether you require physical media equipment. Digital MOH equipment can cost between $150 to $1,500, due to differences in the type of hardware and its capabilities (i.e. included phones, or phone line and extension capacity). If you already have on hold equipment, a virtual media MOH system is typically billed as a one time fee or yearly contract ($100 to $700). Vendors may charge a one time set up fee (up to $100) and charge additional monthly ($50 to $90) or quarterly fees ($75 to $95). Many offer free 30 day system trials.

I haven't used this device for an extended period, but since there are no mechanical parts, I expect that it will last. We have been using a professional on hold service for many years at about $60/month. The box that the professional company gave us sounded great when customers would call from a Lan Line. But, when calling from cell phone the voice messages were lower volume and the music would sound horrible. Music keeps cutting in and out and sounds very staticky. So we decided to save some $ and cancel our subscription and buy this unit. We are using the default music and voice messages that came preloaded instead of doing our own music and messages.
It is likely that if you have been placed on hold, one minute can seem like a lifetime. Many of us get frustrated, hang up and don’t call back. This is why on-hold marketing can be a great tool to keep callers engaged and on the phone.
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.
