AT&T Music on hold has been a standard option for 30 years. After three decades, isn’t it time to stop settling for just music, and give yourself an edge?
On hold marketing gives you the edge that you’ve been looking for: with the right on hold messages, you can sound more professional and accomplish more on every phone call. They give you the ability to reach your customers and your best prospects in completely unique new way. While most advertising is designed to say “look at me” and get you noticed, on hold recordings are the proven way to say “welcome” and show your business telephone callers why they should take the next step…on the way to a sale.
Hold messages have a special job to do. While up to 96% of all marketing efforts are devoted to helping you stand out in a crowd and get you noticed, your messages on hold come into play when consumers are interested enough in you to want to know more. They’re may not be ready to buy, but they’re ready to listen.
AT&T Music on hold isn’t enough
Think about your business telephone callers: they’re your customers and your best prospects. They’re not calling to listen to music. They’ve taken the step to pick up the phone and call you. You can think of every phone call as “a call for help.” Now you can start giving them the help they need, even if they have to wait on hold for a while.
And #holdhappens. According to AT&T Research, up to 69% of business telephone calls are placed on hold. Think about your own experience: the last time you called a business with a question or problem, you probably had to wait in a “queue” for “the next available representative,” or you were answered by a real person, but later asked to “please hold.” It happens in your business, too. Its a real problem, but it can be fixed.
