The cost of silence
Every awkward hold is a customer halfway out the door.
Most callers do not hear your brand when they wait. They hear nothing, or a beep, or someone else's jingle. It is the one part of the customer experience businesses leave to chance, and it runs on every call, all day.
- Dead silence that makes callers wonder if they have been cut off
- A beep every few seconds that quietly says "we forgot about you"
- Generic radio that plays your competitor's ad on your phone line
- A first impression you never chose, repeated on every single call
