Messages on hold

Phone Messages

With all phone lines occupied, Messages On Hold help you hang on to customers.

What happens when all the phone lines are busy and callers are still trying to reach you?

You can't be in two places at the same time. Do you ignore some calls to answer others? Do you make all callers wait listening to the phone ring and ring?

The fact is, when a call is not answered people hang-up and go elsewhere.

The simple answer is to have the callers placed On Hold. But as we all know not all On Holds are created equal. Far from it.

Sometimes On Hold can mean hearing absolute silence. That can be disconcerting because callers don't know if they've been disconnected or just left abandoned in phone-limbo!

Some On Hold systems inflict the caller with mind-numbing chimes or computer generated sequenced-tones parading as music!

Other phone systems merely switch to a music source like a CD or worse they tune into a radio station so you become liable to pay annual fees to APRA and PPCM

However a professional Messages On Hold program is the best way to keep callers happy on-line and waiting to be connected to the person or department they want.

The primary function of the Messages On Hold program is keeping callers satisfied.

It is the same for both new and existing customers. They want to feel good about doing business with you. So they expect a certain the level of professionalism and want to see an image of quality that your business presents to the world.
