Why is it that most on-hold marketing companies are in New York or Florida? At NW Map, we’d much rather deal in person with our customers, so we’re delighted to recommend a local music on hold provider, Patrick at www.holdtimestudios.com. Patrick runs a commercial studio in Portland, Oregon that only does on-hold messaging for customers all across the Northwest.
Now, we all have heard good and bad marketing on hold, but Hold Time’s talent is in the writing… it’s quality, and for local customers Hold Time does in-person interviews for it’s new customers to make sure you get exactly what you want to market to your best callers: the one’s who are calling you. You can hear some of their online samples here.
As a way to deliver their on-hold messaging service into your phone system, Hold Time provides equipment to small phone systems, 2 line Panasonic and ATT models, or large business class systems as well.
We thought that with equipment and professional writing with studio voiceovers, it might cost as much as a radio ad… but Hold Time says their average customer pays about $60 a month when they change the message during the year. Hey, NW Map can probably save you triple that on your phone bill… so use some of our savings to promote your business on hold with Hold Time Music.

There is money to be made even for the person who doesn’t know everything about Telecom technology- It’s possible. In fact, it is more possible than ever with more money to be made as well.
Telecom today is dramatically different than it was 15 years ago when an agent would be limited to selling long distance services and perhaps conference calling. The products and services to be offered are extremely advantageous, from the ease of selling a necessary service to providing a cost effective, competitive technology for clients.

Good question. The goal is to get the best technology specific to your business’ needs at the lowest cost available. Realistically, this could take a business owner, a CIO or an IT Manager a really long time to research the many Telecom carriers, compare prices, and collaborate with all parties involved.
The solution often times is a middle man, such as a Telecom Broker/Agent and/or at least three vendors to get the necessary technology you require at an affordable price. Working with a Telecom Agent will solve your dilemma of shopping around, comparing prices, and even installing. They have access to numerous reputable carriers they’ve formed alliances with, which means they’ve done the research for you and can assist you with pairing the solution you need to the appropriate vendors’ technologies.
If you go to each individual vendor, you may not get the choices you want, the technology specific to your needs, or flexibility and affordability. The integration of multiple technologies as well as newer ones with existing ones is best handled by utilizing multiple vendors. It’s not as tricky as it sounds, and if you have a Telecom Agent working with you on this, you can also get one consolidated bill, which is often less than your existing ones.
Another reason multiple vendors is useful is when you begin with a few solutions and want to add more later. The rate of growth and necessity for new technology is different from one business to another, which is why having multiple vendors and/or a Telecom Agent who has access to multiple vendors is a one-size-fits-all plan.
