music on hold

music on hold
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!
