Statistics show that approximately 34% of callers who hang up will never call you back. In addition, callers wait an estimated 70% longer on the line when they are listening to interesting information about the company they are calling. These statistics suggest that providing a customized message that is tailored to your company can be more effective than playing music or leaving the customer in silence while they’re on hold.
When Big Surf Waterpark wanted to enhance their Caller Experience, while making sure it stayed true to their brand, they asked Prosound to create the bridge between the real world, and the phone world. We were able to give voice to their shark mascot, Gil the Shark, in this fun and engaging On-Hold message. This particular message uses a variety of voices to keep the message fresh and interesting. Brian Holsopple stars as the voice of Gil the Shark!

For the best results, we recommend a studio recording of your representative’s voice. If needed, we can also arrange remote voice recording via telephone or smartphone app. Most often, a “special message from the CEO/President” will be a component of an on hold program, with the remaining messages recorded by one of our professional voice talents. This maintains a “spokesperson” approach and creates a distinction between standard content and the CEO’s announcement.
