6. A Message from the Director

The following excerpt from David Bonnin, the

founder of Telemallaudio, sums it up nicely :

”It is interesting to note that when you put someone

on hold you are being pretty inconsiderate to a fellow

human being and prospective customer. So I would

like it on record that in starting the message on hold

industry, I did not set out to provide a solution for poor

customer service ! “

“The reality is that in 1986, the idea of messages on

hold was to bring novelty and corporate information together to make the inevitable ‘wait’ more

useful – I had little understanding at the time of the psychology of voice announcements and

no appreciation of the value this idea would bring to industry and government. “

“It has since transpired that recorded voice announcements have become a vital part of customer

communications - to such an extent that the customer experience is now recognized as the

make or break for success in customer retention, sales, and revenue growth. ”

“Telemallaudio is building on hard won experience gained over the years and continues to

develop, refine and implement market leading On-Hold strategies and levels of customer service,

second to none anywhere in the world. “

“Telemallaudio will continue to nurture its internal culture of customer service above all else,

bringing a breath of fresh air to an otherwise staid marketplace. “

“By selecting Telemallaudio, you’ve taken the first step towards consistent caller satisfaction. Let

us help your business to stand out from your competitors - after all, that’s exactly what we do ! ”
