Turn Your Customers On - Don't Tune Them Out

It's unavoidable: 70% of all business callers will be put on hold. While no one likes to be put on hold, you can turn that experience from a negative to a positive. How? With creative and informative Telehold® telephone on-hold messages that keep your caller satisfied until you return to handle their call. Isn't that how you want to be treated when you're put on hold.

Here are the facts:

  • 70% of all business callers will be put on hold.
  • 70% of them will hang up after 30 seconds if they hear silence or beeps.
  • The average business person spends 15 minutes a day on hold for a total of 65 hours a year!
  • Businesses spend 92% of their marketing budgets convincing customers to call but only 8% on handling the customers after they call.
  • 88% of callers prefer listening to messages while on hold over silence, music, or radio.
  • Over 16% of callers make purchasing decisions based on the messages they hear
    while on hold.
  • Telehold® on-hold messages pay for themselves through increased sales.
  • Surveys show that the hang-up rate increases if your callers hear radios with static or poor reception while on hold.

  • To decrease caller hang up.
