We have a guide that may be helpful when it comes to the task of writing your script.
Your file will be delivered to you with 15 seconds of background music (or blank airtime if you do not choose background music) after the voice message. This will give you 15 seconds of music (or blank airtime) between each message when run in a loop.

Here is our top 5 recommendation of what to look for in a quality on hold message provider:

Great and efficient service from Onhold, highly recommend for their excellent voice call services.
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.
We can provide you with a quote to update or redo your audio anytime. Please get in touch. Can I choose music from your Royalty Free Music Library or only from your On Hold section?
Our blog post - how to choose the best voice for on-hold marketing has some crucial information you should consider before selecting a voice-over talent for your on-hold messages.
There are three parts to a perfect on hold message: the script, the speaking tone and the written tone. And of course, there is also the music, which plays a big part in representing your business brand.
This is the BIGGEST FLAW / WEAKNESSS of weave. Please add a multicast loop option that can play our message on hold file continuously and drop patients in as they call. Otherwise people hear the same thing over and over. This is a perfect way to help introduce patients to the office and market our services while patients are on hold.
Finally, take into account the reduction in quality that goes hand in hand with hold music. The audio quality is—at best—24 times worse than that from a CD. Yes, we just said CD. The public telephone network wasn’t built with HD music in mind. Thankfully for OnSIP customers, we provide HD radio for VoIP music on hold. That said, your company might have top of the line audio quality, but if clients call in from an old landline or cell, they might hear some distortion.
If multiple files are uploaded, they are played in the order that they are listed on the Music On Hold page. If there is only one file, it is played repeatedly.
The primary feature of on hold messages is that they provide a way to keep customers informed about your business. Instead of silence or elevator music, businesses can use their hold time to provide hours of operation and other useful information to their callers. Additionally, the wait time may be used to promote new products for demand generation. This can be a great tool in up-selling and cross-selling items to consumers while they wait.
Our Company, The Phoenix Pattern & Tool Co Ltd, have been customers of Birmingham Telecom since they started out. They have replaced our phone system 3 times, recently bringing us into the 21st Century. The 3CX system that we have now is user friendly and the app enables working from home much more convenient. Special thanks to Andy for always getting the right product to suit us and Shaun for the time and effort put in with us during and after the installation, Dan and Lee for attention given quickly to any of our queries. A great job, I have no hesitation recommending Birmingham Telecom.
