Making the Most of Your On-Hold Messaging

On-hold messages are ultimately about holding onto your customer, and every phone call is an opportunity for business. Whether the customer is calling to buy a product or is looking for support, you have a chance to connect with a customer. You can’t make every customer happy all the time, but you can make sure you engage and meet the immediate needs of every customer when they call.

CREATING A POSITIVE CUSTOMER TELEPHONE EXPERIENCE

Creating a positive telephone experience starts with carefully crafted on-hold messaging. Customers will often experience some wait time when calling into a customer service call center today. Even the most well-run customer service operations have occasional wait times during peak hours, which is why thoughtfully designed on-hold messaging is critical.

An effective, engaging on-hold messaging strategy will retain customers on the line, prepare them for their upcoming customer service interaction and/or engage them with entertaining content or a special offer.

LEVERAGING YOUR ON-HOLD MESSAGING

Not everyone is aware of their potential, but carefully designed on-hold messaging can do a lot more than just keep your customers on the line. A thoughtfully developed series of on-hold messages can enable you to:

• Educate and motivate your customers or clients
• Effectively cross-sell products and services
• Highlight promotions
• Build brand awareness
• Focus on a targeted audience
• Increase sales revenue or conversion rates
