"We have had great feedback from customers. When we [pick up the phone] they are laughing and in the best mood. They say the messages are hilarious. That was my whole plan - to make being on hold enjoyable." - Rachelle Dicker / Gold Rush Express

Every client is assigned a personal Script Consultant and a Client Relations representative.
On-hold messaging is also great time to encourage consumers to spend. For example, you can offer customers who spend more than $99 free shipping, customers who order 3 items a 4th item free, etc. Think “upsell” with your ads on hold – you’ve got the customer on the line patiently waiting to (hopefully) spend money.
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.

A study by Infomax inc found that callers tend to stay online for 25% longer if there is a mix of on hold messaging and not just plain music. So you need to mix it up.
Verbal Content – generally, you should use 100 words to make up 1 minute of content produced with background music. In other words, one to two paragraphs per minute. The topic can range from product promotions to general company information.
Length – if your callers typically wait 2 minutes at a time, then at least 2 minutes of programming should be the goal. The idea is to ensure the callers don’t hear repeated messages every time they call. A typical on-hold message is 4-8 minutes in length.
Voice Prompts – usually combined with a Business Intro announcement, used for Auto Attendant and IVR prompts to provide menu options and assist in telephone navigation.
DO: Listen to your music on hold right through once you’ve put it live to check the quality
AT&T has offered music while the phone is ringing to the calling party (music plays instead of ring...ring..ring), but they charge what seems to be a lot for the service and it only lasts for a year, as I recall. Lots of choices of music, though. No idea about call holding, try calling AT&T. Apr 14, 2009 3:40 PM Apr 14, 2009 4:53 PM in response to PsychedelicWonders In response to PsychedelicWonders
