Of course you’ll wait. You don’t have a choice. While you are waiting, take the opportunity to wrap your phone in strips of masking tape to give it the look of Eddie Van Halen’s famous “Frankenstrat” guitar.
If you have a bit of a budget you can hire a voice over (VO artist) or hire a specialized on hold messages service company. Depending on what your requirements the price may range between $50 – $60 and several hundreds dollars. Sometimes, for a little extra cost, the VO artists can also provide background music.

Where this creates an extra snag with music on hold is that the loudest part of a song doesn’t typically come in until the final chorus or reprise. This means that if you just listen to the first 10 seconds to check that your new hold music is working, then chances are you’ll be blissfully unaware that three minutes into holding (just as customers are beginning to feel irritated anyway), you start playing a sound like fingernails on a blackboard to them.
