Calls overflow to the voicemail box if they can’t be answered during business hours. This may be during unusually busy periods or if there is no one to take the call.
Informational message on hold sections make user of wait time by providing the caller with product, service or support information. This is a good opportunity to cross sell items to the caller that they may be interested in, provide detailed location descriptions and general business background information.

We’ve implemented on-hold messages for many companies and have learned a few tips along the way.
Our team will make on hold messages for your business that will direct callers to what they need, and work as a sales representative.
The common scripts include: “The next available representation will be with you shortly” or simply “We will be with you shortly”. These messages often work best when coupled with expected waiting time announcement.
It’s important to ensure the content is informative and relevant to the caller. And the rule ‘less is more’ very much applies to writing for the ear. It’s important to keep the sentences short and to the point. A popular way to get a message across is follow this structure: Introduce the topic in the first sentence e.g. Did you know that BusinessCo now offers no contract plans for hosted PBX and business VoIP? Explain how the information will benefit the caller in the second sentence e.g. And that means complete flexibility for your business and no long-term commitments. Wrap up with a call to action in the third sentence e.g. To find out more, visit our website businesspbx.com.au or speak to one of our Business Consultants when you come off hold.

“We have people call us back and ask us to be put on hold because they want to share it with their friends. We love the humorous approach.” - Susan Penman / Town and Country Hotel San Diego (Hear a sample)
Here’s something else you can do with your mobile phone – it can help you run your business, whether you’re a team of one or many. Today, most business owners stay in touch with customers using both an office phone and a mobile phone. Because they don’t want to mix personal and business communications or give out their personal phone number, they typically buy a separate cell phone. LinkedPhone is changing that – and saving business owners a lot of money in the process.
