Our music tips for your voicemail
Waiting music for your telephone system.
Music, maestro! Music or no music? That's the question! What do you do with it on the phone? In this article you will read what the function of (hold) music is and we will give you some useful tips for the best choice of music!
Our top 9 most popular waiting tunes
Music is everywhere
You cannot deny that music plays an important role in our lives. Music is everywhere and influences our personality and emotions. Music also relaxes and stimulates the brain and making music itself even activates our entire brain! But what is especially important here is the fact that music can be therapeutic.
Music works therapeutically
Music is used in all kinds of therapies to stimulate people for a reason. But even when waiting on the phone, music can be therapeutic! It is recommended anyway that callers wait with music. If you have to wait to be transferred, you definitely don't want to wait in silence. So the music demand depends on whether you have a queue or not. If people get a representative on the line quickly, you don't have to worry much about the choice of music.
The origin of waiting music
Waiting music was actually invented by accident by Alfred Levy. His factory was located right next to a radio station. When he put people on hold, the telephone signal happened to pick up the radio signal through a loose electrical wire. He eventually patented this invention.
Did you know that there is a lot of music written specifically for use on phones? The most famous is undoubtedly Opus Number 1 by Tim Carleton and Darrick Deel:
A true wait music classic
But this Musicatel by Fabrice Lemercier is also a true telephone classic - and even contains remarkable musicality!

Do's and Don'ts at a waiting center
This company has the solution to the long and tedious queues and prevents fines!
Faced with the complete works of Beethoven - or worse - meaningless music with no feeling? Then there's a good chance you've been hanging out in the queue again at a company with-not-so-good customer service ... Honestly, you as an entrepreneur can do that better, right?
Don't incur a fine!
By the way, did you know that leaving customers on hold for too long can get you a hefty fine? You see, there is such a thing as a telecom law and it states that whoever leaves a consumer on hold for more than 2.5 minutes must be able to leave his/her details and they MUST be contacted within 24 hours. Be honest ... is that the case with your company?
Why drive customers away?
However it is completely absurd to saddle people with an irritating 20-minute queue! Besides the money you might have to cough up to pay the fine because a frustrated consumer reported your business, you are driving away a lot of other (potential) customers. Utterly nonsensical because the solution is up for grabs, is extremely affordable and is sure to bring you new and more satisfied customers.
Say goodbye to the customer-hunting club
Why not have a pleasant telephone voice tell the story of your business, describe your assets or animate the waiting audience? Why not inform and/or entertain your customers instead of antagonizing them? Not got the right skills and/or voice in house?
No disaster, at Voices.eu we do have them. Choose from a range of pleasant voices and go for a professionally recorded message. Or why not go next-level and surprise yourself with a quiz, a summary of all your strengths or an even more original approach? At Voices.eu we like to think along with you. No queue, but have a voicemail to speak to? Even then, our professionals at Voices.eu will help you out!
PS. We exaggerated a bit. For the time being, only telecom companies are obliged to keep you on the line for a maximum of 2.5 minutes, but admit it: good customer service is necessary for every company ...
