A well written script is the cornerstone of any great on hold message. It must capture the caller’s attention, so they remain engaged while navigating menu options or waiting on hold. The script that callers hear can set the tone for the rest of the conversation. It should also be in line with your goals, which can be broken down to 3 main objectives. It can be to inform the caller, promote the brand or product, or just entertain the caller. Most of all, it has to be engaging.

In 1962, inventor and entrepreneur Alfred Levy found a loose wire touching a metal girder at his factory.

Four years later he patented his work, and music on hold was born.
