No one calls customer support to chit chat. They call because they have a problem and are likely irritated enough to get on the phone and ask about it.

Our scriptwriters have years of experience in writing for audio, especially on hold and IVR systems. We’ll create an on hold message your callers will be happy to listen to – avoiding the clichés and stock phrases they hate to hear.
One of the best features of call monitoring is the ability to listen to and participate in live phone calls.
Often, it’s a good idea to precede the message with a bright alert sound effect to grab snoozing customer attention:
Popular and effective scripted announcements can include information on business hours, location, directions, promotional services or sales, and any other relevant customer service related message. Music, marketing messages, and interactive customer response features (i.e. customer satisfaction surveys) can be catered to captivate and engage your customer while they wait.

We're a medical practice and have been using Messages On Hold for around 4 years now. Sian has been our point of contact for this time and she is fabulous. Always so responsive and 'on top of it.' The proposed scripts, edits, suggestions and changes are always clear and easy to see. Not to mention the voices and music as part of the end result are fabulous. A highly recommended team and company! 2 months ago
Oh, the waiting is the hardest part? Thanks Tom, we didn’t know that. Tell me, is water wet?
