Planning your own messages

How will you use your messages on hold?  Who would you like to hear them?  Since messages on hold play on your business telephone system, who are your callers?  Is it their first time calling you?  Are they long time customers?  Or both?

Some industries have a special “mix” of callers: Realtors, Employment Agencies, Home Care Agencies and some medical providers (like Visiting Nursing Services) have both their clients and their providers calling…so their messages must address both groups.

The most successful messages start with understanding your callers

  • their needs
  • their desires
  • their goals
  • why they’re calling today…and not yesterday or next month
  • and your goals: what would you like to accomplish? What’s the “next step”?

The best way to approach those questions is with a trained marketing professional who has worked with others in your industry on their messages on hold.  Creating an effective message takes more than just browsing your website to find out what products or services you offer.
