Professional, quick and easy. No matter what type of phone system you have, we can make it sound amazing with professional messages! It makes sense to have your own professionally produced messages on hold… especially when the alternatives are daggy music, obnoxious commercial radio or worst of all – dead silence!
Don’t allow their holding time to be a waste of time for them or for you as a business.
.
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.
And if you write something that doesn’t impress your coworkers or earn accolades, that’s fine. It’s called the writing process, and it’s why most writers prefer their seclusion. All writers are embarrassed by their first drafts.
"I just wanted to tell you that I was on hold the other day, listening to the Halloween / Road Hazard message you wrote. It’s so funny! And the voices are hilarious, too. It made my day!" - Suzy Mitchell / Hercules Tires
If you need to use menu options for directing calls, try to keep these as short as possible, for example... “Thank you for calling Media Music Now. So that we can connect you to the most appropriate department, please choose from the following options: press 1 for general enquiries, press 2 for help with downloads and 3 for any other enquiries.

"I just wanted to tell you that I stumbled onto your website for Humor On Hold™, and I listened to every recording. Your work is hilarious and it brightened my day. And who doesn't want a compliment from a random stranger on the Internet? So, thanks." - A.H.
3. Don’t repeat the same message over and over again, create a sequence that provides relevant messages during the duration of the hold.
Someone is late for the conference call, so the music starts. "Well, I've been sitting here all day," the song begins, sort of croony, with a vaguely country affect — the kind of opening that leads you to expect there is, somewhere, an ex-lover who probably isn't coming back. A certain variety of pining. But then, a few bars in, a turn: "Yes I'm waiting on this conference call, all alone. And I'm on hold, yes I'm on hold... I hope it's not all day, ey!"

Physical media MOH methods provide quality control with prerecorded and licensed CDs, although some units still use cassettes. CDs are designed with or without voice-overs. Brief voice-overs, such as "Calls will be answered in the order that they were received", or "Please hold, your call is important to us," are basic examples. However, many vendors suggest more customized messages.
To keep the information in your program current, you should review your script whenever your business has updated policies or procedures, new promotions or special offers, or changing customer service strategies.

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 😉 ).

However, if there is no other option but to place your customers on hold (perhaps during a busy season), you need to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
