So, given that hold music is such a powerful potential source of frustration, why do companies continue to get it wrong? Reading the articles that are out there, there seems to be a lot of speculation regarding the best choice of music to placate or even entertain customers while they wait in your queue. Some common suggestions include “Hanging On The Telephone” by Blondie, or Lionel Richie’s “Hello, is it me you’re looking for?”. Or how about looking up the customer’s record in your call centre CRM, grabbing their date of birth, and playing something based on their age range - pop for the under 25s and presumably something fusty for the oldies?
Adding a professional Message On Hold program to your phone system is an easy way to improve the image of your business. It helps you make a great first impression and helps your customers get valuable sales and service information. Here are 6 ways a professional on hold message can help improve your image:
With music and messaging that appeals to your target market, you will captivate your audience. Your Message On Hold program can be more than a time filler for callers waiting, it can be an informative, entertaining, and educational tool. With the right content, callers will not only stay on hold, but will have an emotional reaction to your message.
Even if you’re business is not getting a high volume of inbound calls, if you transfer ANY calls or ever put customers on hold, even for just 10-15 seconds. Always use that time to give the customer another reason to think positively about your business.
A music on hold adapter has an integrated analog adapter module which allows any and all of your phones to provide on hold audio content to ordinary analog and “KSU-Less” phone systems. Currently, when a caller is placed on hold with an ordinary phone, that call is routed back to your phone company. And there it sits.

AmeriGas wanted to reach contractors with information about how they make it easy to add propane to a home. They also needed to assure customers that AmeriGas is the right choice for home propane service. We do this for them through scripting focused on how AmeriGas services accounts, as well as payment plan options. Brian Holsopple carries this strong production for AmeriGas.
