Before we get into “Step-By-Step Guide to Custom On Hold Messages” it’s important to understand the value of having custom on hold messages for your brand. Business has always been done over the phone, and callers have always been put on hold, but as online shopping has surpassed brick and mortar traffic, over-the-phone sales have reached all time highs. A recent study by Marchex shows that Americans spent more than $1 trillion in mobile “click-to-call” commerce, and there was over 93 billion consumer-to-business phone calls from smartphones and this number is expected to grow to a whopping 162 billion by 2019, 70% of callers are placed on hold 62% of callers hang-up in less than 45 seconds 34% of callers who hang-up will never call back.

When was the last time you were placed on-hold and felt like this guy because you had to listen to: -A message recorded (probably by an employee) and added to, over and over again at various levels?
In the first instance, we work closely with you to better understand the process you expect your staff to follow and can offer guidance on best practice and identify any obvious issues before we even begin. Once we start analysing your calls, we will simply listen to real customer and prospect calls and measure both the ‘process’ and ‘experience’ aspects. You can then expect to receive detailed, monthly reporting that allows you to quickly understand your current performance and identify where you need to be and how to get there, so you’ll be one step closer to achieving your business goals.
