As you begin your search for an on hold messages service provider, you’ll find many companies advertising that they can do the job for you. But, you don’t want just any company, nor do you want the same ho-hum, boring hold-music heard at most businesses, because boring is something your business can’t afford to be. You want a provider that adds real value to your bottom line, you want an on hold company that’s responsive to your needs, has a proven track record, and finally, you want a provider that makes the process easy, so you don’t have to!

Have you ever judged a company based on how poor their phone messages were? We have. Avoid giving your existing or potential customers negative arguments about the quality of your service or brand image.
On hold messages can be recorded for many purposes, such as promoting your business, answering FAQs or announcing important customer service information. It's important to be clear in the message you are trying to get across. Confusion leads to disengagement and reflects badly on the brand. Determining your callers' wait times is necessary to determine the required length of the on-hold message. Making the recording too short can lead to the message being played too many times. This can be repetitive and lose the caller's attention while they hold.
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.

9. Queue Callback Message. What the caller hears when they request a callback from the queue. Sample Scripts: “You have requested to have the next available agent call you back from the queue.
To keep the information in your program current, you should review your script whenever your business has updated policies or procedures, new promotions or special offers, or changing customer service strategies.
The common scripts include: “The next available representation will be with you shortly” or simply “We will be with you shortly”. These messages often work best when coupled with expected waiting time announcement.
“Thank you for calling Liam’s Ladders – a representative will be with you shortly. Did you know that Liam’s Ladders has been a family business for 3 generations and counting? We offer affordable, high-quality ladders and construction equipment for personal and commercial projects. This week only, if you buy $50 worth of equipment, we’ll give you $10 off! Talk to your representative about getting this promotion for your order today…”
-88% of callers surveyed want to hear product information on-hold and will stay on the line longer if provided with this information – roughly 16-20% said that they have purchased additional products based on information they heard while on-hold.
A typical Message on Hold program is 4 minutes long. Because a voice over talent typically reads between 100 and 112 words per minute, the script for a four-minute program can be up to 400 words, allowing for four to six paragraphs or messages, interspersed by brief intervals of music. Longer audio storage and program lengths are available if necessary.
Easy On Hold Founder Tim Brown says that the new scheduling mechanism is what makes the Easy On Hold streaming message unique. "The traditional four-minute on-hold loop, where several paragraphs are edited over one piece of music, is an outdated approach," he says. "Our service puts together a library of individual spots that can be told when to play and how often. You can schedule start and stop dates, too, so old content is never heard."
