Messages on hold

Phone Messages

Messages On Hold help reduce callers hanging-up when they hear a busy tone.

It seems whenever the phone lines get busy "Murphy's Law" comes into play! As the Irish legal wit suggests "what can go wrong, will go wrong at the worst possible time".

When all your phone lines are busy and more callers are trying contact you what do you do? Have a mild panic attack? Do you answer some calls and let the others keep ringing?

Pretty soon callers who are left hanging will simply hang up and disappear.

The solution is to place the callers On Hold. Air Traffic Controllers discovered this technique years ago! But not all On Hold programs are created equal. Far from it.

In some cases switching a caller to On Hold means sending them into the abyss of total silence. They don't know what's happening? They wonder if they have been disconnected or simply abandoned?

Other On Hold programs suffer the caller to listen to soul-destroying chimes or computer generated Muzac!

While sometimes the On Hold button merely switches to the local radio station or a commercial music source like a CD player. The moment that happens you become liable to pay annual licensing fees for using music at a place of business.

There is only one solution. A professionally produced Messages On Hold program.
