MESSAGE-ON-HOLD

Did you know that 70% of business callers are placed on-hold?*  That callers listening to a message and/or music-on-hold will stay on the line for up to 3 minutes longer?*  And that 60% of on-hold callers hang up if they experience silence and 30% never call back?* 

 * Statistics taken from Telemarketing Magazine, CNN Survey, Cellular Marketing Magazine and Media Rate analysis.

Prevent your callers from hearing competing radio ads. Provide a consistent positive impression to all callers. Assure callers that they are still connected and will be looked after in short order. Provide answers to frequently-asked questions about your products/services.

QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN CHOOSING A MESSAGE-ON-HOLD PROVIDER:

1. Does your proposed message-on-hold provider use the absolute latest in messaging technology? How are your messages changed? Are your changes made using outdated cassette tapes or CDs? If so, there is a very good chance that you will be the person responsible for managing multiple cassettes or CDs. At Darren Pallen Productions, we use only I.P. based remote load MP3 flash memory hardware. We are proud to say that we are among the very few companies in Canada that has made both the investment and commitment to offer this cutting-edge technology to our valued customers. This hardware offers stunning sound reproduction (the best in the industry) and allows us to manage your message changes remotely from our studio so you can concentrate on getting your daily tasks complete.

2. Does your proposed message-on-hold provider produce custom holiday season messages for you? Not only do we provide holiday music beds and warm holiday greetings, we mix these with your existing custom marketing messages. In other words, your on-hold system continues to function as a valuable sales tool while simultaneously greeting your customers with holiday season specific greetings and music. Many message-on-hold companies produce one generic holiday tape and send it to every customer. This is nothing more than a cost and time-saving shortcut, and it is one that we refuse to accept.

3. Does your proposed message-on-hold provider use currently employed, major-market voice talent? By "currently employed" we mean: Does the voice talent currently work every day in public radio or television? There are many people available with "good" voices. But the overwhelming majority is not good enough to work professionally every day and get paid for it. At Darren Pallen Productions, we choose our voice talent carefully. We do not use "former" voice talents. Our announcers are currently employed in a major market within North America. And for good reason. The telephone is often your very first contact with your customers. We think your voice talent should be the very best available.
