Music on hold builds a strong foundation for your callers’ experience. This is a key opportunity to establish your brand image and create the right expectations for your callers. Everything from genre, tempo, and style of the music you select can affect how your callers feel while they wait for an agent to pick up the line.
With these things in mind, let’s explore how to choose the right music on hold for your call center so you can create world-class customer experiences.
Contact centers have the power to create value on multiple levels – efficiency, customer satisfaction, and strategic impact on sales, retention, and branding.
However, many contact centers pursue all of the above via IVR and the live agents their callers connect with. There is another option to support these value-focused goals, one that’s often unrecognized or underutilized – call queue messages and music on hold.
Here’s how you can extract more value using messages and music on hold.
On-hold messages are one of the most underutilized marketing tools available to businesses today. They’re a direct connection to callers who are already familiar with your brand. They allow you to speak to your callers at scale. On hold messages can be adapted to fit a range of use cases, especially if you are targeting your messages to different call queues.
But to leverage this marketing channel to its potential, you first need to learn how to write for and use hold time effectively.
The holidays are a busy time for everyone. And that can mean your callers are spending more time on hold than usual. Adding some festive holiday cheer to your on hold messages or phone greetings is a great way to show your clients, vendors, and partners that you value them and appreciate their business. Fortunately, you don’t need to start from scratch with a new script. It can be as simple as switching to a holiday background music or adding short seasonal greetings to your existing messages. Need a little inspiration? Here’s an informative breakdown of how you can select the best holiday music and greetings for your business recordings.
