Putting people "on hold" is an unfortunate but unavoidable part of communications, because it's impossible to help everyone immediately.►An estimated 70% of business callers are put on hold, and 60%
of them hang up
and 30% don't call back.
►If your callers hear nothing while on hold, they may think they've been disconnected. Most callers who hear nothing on hold, hang up within 40 seconds.
►Callers who receive information and music on-hold will wait up to 3 minutes longer!
►If you use a radio as a sound source, your callers may be annoyed by static, irrelevant traffic reports, and commercials -- even commercials for your competitors.
►If you use
a radio or ordinary music CD, you could be fined up to $100,000 for copyright violation, and go to jail!
