Customers see quality experiences with your company as essential. They want effortless interactions but value the human experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Customer expectations are evolving faster than ever. Seamless customer experiences are no longer a luxury \u2014 they are a requirement. <\/strong><br><em>Niki Hall Chief Marketing Officer, Five9<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of CX today is described as &#8220;creating experiences that delight, inspire loyalty, and bring joy to every customer interaction.&#8221; The report envisions a new era that delivers seamless interactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hold-music-and-messages-accomplish-cx-goals\">Hold Music and Messages accomplish CX goals:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seamlessness <\/strong>&#8211; The contact center experience is an<em> audio experience<\/em>. Interrupting hold music with IVR &#8220;barge-ins&#8221; should be avoided (it&#8217;s jarring, abrupt, and interruptive). <strong>Voice content must be present while holding<\/strong>. The words should show empathy. Whether AI-generated or human, a professional voice must be perceived as compassionate, not just corporate. The <strong>waiting periods<\/strong> must have branded content that builds confidence in the caller&#8217;s decision to stay on the line (and with your brand).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Effortless Experience<\/strong> &#8211; Callers complain about having to battle bots. They quickly grow impatient when presented with too many questions or options, and answering the same question more than once is a top irritant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Delight, Inspire, Bring Joy<\/strong> &#8211; Remember the last time you waited on hold? Was it joyful? Probably not. Craft a <strong>voice and music on hold experience<\/strong> that helps callers, provides ideas, and makes them feel happy about your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-2-humans-on-the-phone-still-1\">Takeaway #2: Humans On The Phone Still #1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Five9 Customer Experience Report and many other <a href=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/blog\/improve-customer-experience-2023-report\/\">CX reports<\/a> continue to underscore the importance of the voice channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Most customers (56%) still<\/strong> <strong>prefer phone support<\/strong>, with voice interactions remaining the top choice across all regions and generations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Use human voices whenever possible, including in the <strong>on-hold messages<\/strong>. Customers facing complex or urgent issues won&#8217;t settle for automation or AI-assisted IVR and bots.

Often, it is because the chat, social, or self-service channels failed them. Contact centers must focus on voice. Voices in the <strong>music and message on hold experience <\/strong>must be incorporated for a quality human-centric experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to important matters, like those listed below, the overwhelming majority of callers want to talk to a qualified human who can help.

The expense is motivated by the cost of losing business, as illuminated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualtrics.com\/news\/bad-customer-experiences-put-nearly-4-trillion-at-risk-in-global-sales\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research by Qualtrics<\/a>. It shows businesses risk losing up to <strong>$3.8 trillion in global sales<\/strong> due to poor customer experiences. Despite the infusion of money, improvements in CX are slow to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about customer experience in the last 12 months, most of those polled said CX was the same or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div class='wp-block-b-chart-chart  align' id='bChart-b01a7014-d' data-attributes='{&quot;cId&quot;:&quot;b01a7014-d&quot;,&quot;data&quot;:{&quot;labels&quot;:[&quot;Getting Worse&quot;,&quot;About The Same&quot;,&quot;Better&quot;,&quot;Not Sure&quot;],&quot;datasets&quot;:[{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Dataset Value 2&quot;,&quot;data&quot;:[30,33,33,4],&quot;backgroundColor&quot;:[&quot;rgba(201, 47, 19, 0.7)&quot;,&quot;rgba(150, 32, 113, 0.77)&quot;,&quot;rgba(68, 39, 163, 0.52)&quot;,&quot;rgba(218, 197, 72, 0.6)&quot;],&quot;borderColor&quot;:[&quot;rgba(201, 47, 20, 1)&quot;,&quot;rgba(10, 178, 156, 1)&quot;,&quot;rgba(113, 88, 202, 1)&quot;,&quot;rgba(152, 163, 39, 1)&quot;],&quot;tension&quot;:0.4,&quot;borderWidth&quot;:2,&quot;hoverBorderWidth&quot;:2,&quot;pointRadius&quot;:3,&quot;pointHoverRadius&quot;:4,&quot;pointStyle&quot;:&quot;rectRounded&quot;}]},&quot;type&quot;:&quot;doughnut&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;50%&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:&quot;400px&quot;,&quot;isXScale&quot;:false,&quot;isYScale&quot;:false,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;67% Of Consumers Say CX Is Not Improving&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:{&quot;color&quot;:&quot;#0000&quot;},&quot;textColor&quot;:&quot;#666&quot;,&quot;isXGridLine&quot;:true,&quot;isYGridLine&quot;:true,&quot;gridLineColor&quot;:&quot;#0000001a&quot;,&quot;alignment&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;isTitle&quot;:true,&quot;titleFontSize&quot;:22,&quot;titleColor&quot;:&quot;#4527a4&quot;,&quot;isSubtitle&quot;:false,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;Chart Subtitle&quot;,&quot;subtitleFontSize&quot;:13,&quot;subtitleColor&quot;:&quot;#8344c5&quot;,&quot;isDownload&quot;:false}'><\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-4-customers-fight-bots-would-rather-wait-on-hold\">Takeaway #4: Customers Fight Bots, Would Rather Wait On Hold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is the desire for human interactions strong, but people say they don&#8217;t mind waiting for human help.

Hold time remains a part of most phone interactions. Unfortunately, many customer experience managers are ignoring the hold queue. Professor Raj Sivasubramanian, a keynote speaker on the topic of customer experience, was recently asked about hold music on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/xtalwiese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crystal Wiese podcast<\/a>. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been to tons of CX events, and no one has ever brought this up,&#8221; Sivasubramanian said. &#8220;What?&#8221; Wiese bounces back. &#8220;No one&#8217;s thought about the call center music?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you see the issue here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since your customers are willing to wait on hold to get to an agent, it is imperative that the contact center source <a href=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/music-on-hold\/messages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional caller experience content<\/a> from experts like Easy On Hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\" id=\"h-in-a-time-when-contact-center-technology-is-creating-more-friction-than-it-solves-it-s-time-to-reconsider-the-experience-you-deliver-every-second-a-caller-is-on-hold\"><blockquote><p>In a time when contact center technology is creating more friction than it solves, it\u2019s time to reconsider the experience you deliver every second a caller is on hold.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/easyonhold.com<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easy On Hold<\/strong> helps major brands elevate CX with professional, streaming hold audio that supports branding, informs customers, and creates a more positive voice experience.
