Listen to samples from our talent and choose the voice that appeals more to your brand. In addition to on hold messages our voice talent can also record voicemail greetings, radio commercials, video presentations and more.
If you would like a pause in your message where just background music (or blank airtime) plays, place (...) in your script where you want the pause.

The included USB drive is preloaded with 6 hours of royalty-free music recorded specifically for music on hold with standard pleasant "thank you for holding" messages inserted every minute.
Corporate cost-cutting and new technology have resulted in the advent of automated systems that can make the on-hold experience even more frustrating. It can feel near-impossible to get a human on the phone these days, which a national survey conducted by Consumer Reports found to be Americans' second-greatest annoyance, after hidden fees but beating out inaccurate weather reports and dog poop. Green observes that often people call as a last resort, because something on the website wasn't clear, perhaps, and they really need an answer quickly. So callers are captive listeners, a state often associated with the gridlock of waiting, whether in line at a Starbucks, in a dentist's chair, or in the proverbial elevator making its slow way up.
Waiting queues allow your callers to wait on you on the line but you should not exceed the waiting time for more than 5 minutes. A queue announcement can also be introduced after the “message before answering”. After the “message before answering”, the waiting announcement is immediately cut.
2. If the hold is more that a couple of minutes make sure to thank customers for their time. Apologize for delays if hold time is significant.
However, not all businesses who field customer service calls are entirely unsympathetic to your plight. Some choose to make your wait as pleasant as possible by poking fun at the situation.

In response to PsychedelicWonders. Call hold/call wait is a network feature (while it is activated by the handset) as such any music would be supplied by your carrier, there should be some there but chances are it's some wonderfull elevator style stuff (I'm partial to Brahms myself 😉 ).

Fantastic customer service from Lee when he set up an automatic answer message system for us. Nothing was too much trouble and he helped to solve our problem very quickly and easily. Thanks for all of your help.
Thank you for calling ABC Foods– your most reliable source to the Food-Service Industry! We are happy to announce the all-new oven-roasted tomatoes. These tomatoes are a great alternative to sun-dried tomatoes and work well as a delicious topping, side dish, or ingredient! Please ask an account executive about this new item!
(If you can't hear any difference between these two samples, then there's a good chance your speakers are reducing CD quality music to phone quality for you!)
Or at least allow for us to integrate a message on hold digital announcer into the weave system. Tehmina commented · June 12, 2020 4:39 PM · Flag as inappropriateFlag as inappropriate · Edit… · Delete…
If you need a more advanced configuration, you can set up call menu options with our Virtual Receptionist feature, for no additional charge. Call menu options enable you to play helpful messages like hours and location, transfer callers to voicemail or to a live receptionist, route callers to specific team members (customer service, sales, etc). Our wizard will guide you through the set-up process. It couldn’t be easier.
