Indeed many, in fact, do not like being put on hold that they will hang up on you, and over 30% of that group will never return the call. And with such a high percentage of people hanging up, it has to mean dissatisfied people who may think twice about doing further business with you. In reality, each time they hang up it only tends to increase their dissatisfaction level with your business. In this article will show you a few ways to reverse that trend and actually profit, by using on call music and messages.
