Above all you must encourage the caller to remain on the line. Provide reassurance to your clients that an agent will be available soon and don’t forget to convey the idea that their time is valued and their call is important.
Solo guitar and piano music can also be decent choices provided you avoid songs with extremes of high and low volumes and pitch. Most phone systems come with default tracks that, coincidentally, fall squarely into these categories. If you’d like something a bit different then you can find plenty royalty-free tunes available to purchase online (they’re not all that terrible), but remember you'll need to pay for a PRS license if you want to make use of tracks by a recording artist.

Imagine a network of “connected” phone agents who are able to reach out to a colleague for help or advice in the middle of a phone conversation with an important client.
