Juli Durante reports:
"Are you afraid to 'get your hands dirty' and write your own Message On Hold program? Are you wondering where to start when crafting your Message On Hold script?...You want your on hold programming to be appealing to your callers, not overwhelming them or presenting irrelevant information. Define your average caller and offer the content they're most likely to ask for, whether that means pointing them to the video tutorials on your website or explaining how they can request a custom quote online...If callers typically wait on hold for 2 minutes at a time, at least two minutes of programming should be your goal, but a program that’s a bit longer than this will be better, so clients won’t hear repeated messages every time they call.

The issues you may want to cover are listed below; here, we suggest a workable approach...The most important part of your letter is a clear statement that you don’t intend your letter to be binding. Giving yourself and the landlord room to negotiate is as important as setting some preliminary parameters of your eventual deal...You don’t want a landlord to claim that only those issues raised in your letter of intent should be the subjects of continued negotiations...To ensure that the landlord can’t claim that the letter of intent limits the available bargaining points, simply say that future negotiations may cover additional points...Any letter of intent that you write should include the following information:
