Want to record your own messages on hold? Sure. I talked with the manager of a successful car repair business today. We had talked about professional messages on hold last month. Today he informed me that he had purchased software and hardware for his phones. Now it was possible to record your own messages on hold yourself. Sounds like a great idea.
Can you really record your own messages on hold?
With any business investment, your decisions should be based on your goals, right? So what’s your goal for your messages on hold? For most people I’ve talked with it’s usually:
- Sound more professional
- Sell more to your existing customers
- Stop annoying customers by making them listen to the radio or generic “please hold” messages on hold.
- Inform your telephone callers in the time they now waste on hold
Do you want to record your own messages on hold?
So what are the odds that you can accomplish your goals? How easy is it to create a recording that will help you sound more professional, help you sell more, and inform your best customers? Its not “rocket science.”
But neither is repairing your car. A few weeks ago my brakes were squeaking. I could tell that it was time for a “brake job.” Pretty simple: buy new brake pads at the local auto store, and replace them. Right? The only problem is that I don’t know the first think about what to do. I know (approximately) where the brake pads probably are. But that’s about it. I’ve had 6 cars in my lifetime, and needed brakes replaced on each one. But I never did the work: I hired a professional. Why? It was easier, faster, cheaper, and I knew they’d work.
