Comedy writing is about having fun with words and being unafraid to say the things that are on everyone’s minds. It’s about getting people to have fun while staying informative and telling a story. And everyone can do it, but not everyone can do it well.
That’s a big piece of a trillion dollar pie! The good news is, you don’t have to let all these callers off the hook. Studies show that with creative, professional sounding on hold messages your business will retain customers holding on the line (in fact callers will wait up to 3 times longer than silence or music), but you can also generate revenue by marketing additional products and services.

No one calls customer support to chit chat. They call because they have a problem and are likely irritated enough to get on the phone and ask about it. Odds are they’re not alone, so there’s a bit of a wait before your team can answer. If you were answering support calls, what would you want your frustrated customer listening to in the moments before you pick up?
Most business-class phone systems come with a library of pre-recorded on-hold messages or music for you to choose from. They also typically allow you to upload your own, giving you the opportunity to customize your callers’ experience while they wait.
The problem, in my mind, is that every single one of these articles misses the point completely. Even if you implemented a call centre system that detected and automatically played someone’s all-time favourite music while they waited, a facility which is possibly not that far off, most music when played down the phone just sounds terrible. Butchering a song that someone actually likes is unlikely to improve the waiting experience.
On hold messages and ads are growing in popularity, but there are still plenty of businesses in Australia that don’t realise that their phone is a marketing tool. Think about it – having professional and marketing-driven on hold messages is like having a really great salesperson on the phone with your customers every time they call.
When callers are put on hold, music is played over the phone while they are waiting. You can upload your own music file to play, or several music files to rotate. If you do not upload your own files, callers will hear the music that is set by default. - Supported audio formats include: .WAV, .MP3 and .OGG; file size should not exceed 16 MB.
Your business personality and its brand can be reflected using the right music and voice delivery. JustMyVoice Production will help you choose the perfect on-hold music, match it with the ideal voice delivery and bingo...your “Audio Brand” is being heard.
Sure, if you have a piece of music that you have licensed elsewhere we will be happy to use that instead.

UPDATE: I have had this unit for almost 2 years now. It is connected to a UPS battery backup. I has literally been running non-stop since I set it up over a year and a half ago.
Need a new telephone on-hold message to reflect changes? How about an updated IVR/PBX Professionally recorded message/greeting for your telephone system?
Start with a Warm Greeting. When customers get to your on-hold message, let them know who they have called and offer a very brief introduction to your business. Example: “ Thank you for calling ABC Plumbing, Tampa’s most trusted plumbers for over 20 years .”. Let the caller know what they should expect to happen next.
These hold advertisements can help you sound more professional, and make more progress on every phone call. Give your callers the right information and you can start more of the conversations that you want to have with them. Here’s a sample of an actual on dental hold message playing on a Yealink System
