In business, especially in client facing and customer facing businesses, communication is incredibly important. You need to make sure you are as accessible to the people interested in buying your products and using your services, or you could lose potential sales or have disgruntled customers and clients.
Obviously, one of the best ways to ensure you can handle the volume of calls coming through your business phone lines is to have enough staff manning the phones. However, unless you have a remarkable and impossibly consistent flow of calls all the time with no peaks and no troughs, this may be a bit like overkill.
Another great solution is to play music or messages while customers hold. While it may not seem like everyone’s cup of tea, you would be surprised how many customers hang on and wait for the next available operator because there is a catchy tune or an informative message or just something that passes the time.
At PMC Telecom, thanks to our long and illustrious history as a leading retailer and supplier of telecommunications equipment and accessories, we understand the practical value of having music on hold. That is why we stock Fortune Telephones and Music on Hold Players.

There is strong evidence that supports when customers are not presented with any alternative and dial-through hoping to hear one of your team and only hear an engaged tone - they tend to hang up. When you use some nice music or even a helpful message instead of silence or an irritating tone, they are more likely to hold the line a little longer.
As well as keeping your customers entertained while they wait for you to handle their call, music on hold also enhances how professional they see your company. Especially when compared to one that has just silence or he engaged tone. As crazy as it may sound, some customers that are left on hold in silence may wonder why you haven’t got music playing, they may even think the call has been terminated if there is silence, and may not wait, so you have essentially lost a customer.
Did you know that many music on hold players will not only play music but pre-recorded messages over the music too? That means you could take advantage of this, like many other businesses and use it to upsell new products and services or draw attention to existing ones. You have a captive audience because ultimately, whether they like it or not, if they want you to deal with their problem or answer their question, they have to wait for one of your team to become available, and therefore have to listen to whatever message you put on the on-hold music.
There are several options out there, so why would we recommend you choose a music on hold player from Fortune? Fortune enjoy a good reputation within the industry and are known for designing and manufacturing high-quality products and solutions.
Another reason for choosing Fortune is if you are looking for the best range of prices. At PMC Telecom, we know that while all businesses may need phones and even music on hold players, not all businesses have the same budgets to spend on these products and devices. When it comes to Fortune devices we have three main products for sale at the moment, each at different price points.
