Testimonials Slider

Astound was recommended to us by UBT [our business advisory company] to provide an on hold message service. Terry and his team worked with us to provide an outstanding quality recording to better educate our clients whilst on hold. It has also assisted our sales and admin team to more enthusiastically embrace our core marketing message. I’m very impressed with Astound’s work and I would definitely recommend them!

I want to compliment one of your excellent employees, Terrence Ford. He went to great lengths to help me choose the right product for my service. 

He knew just what to do to solve my problem quickly and we got the phone service installed just within one week!

Such service builds great working relationships. I am very happy with Astound.

“Morning! Just uploaded the main recording and it’s heaps better! Thank you for doing that!!!!

Very impressed with the quick turnaround time not only when enquiring on this product but also the short timeframe for the recordings. After trying to do the recordings ourselves and not getting the quality needed, Astound was able to provide us with recordings that have a profession edge and were of excellent quality.

Thank You Astound for your help with getting the file’s correct for the system we use!  Will definitely use you again!”

Improved guest experiences with your company

Promote your services and products, by
cross-selling.

Remember your existing customers are the most valuable – show them you care.

Make it fun and entertaining while you inform and confirm them in their decision to deal with you, add some industry relevant sound effects.

Your on-hold presence is the image your callers perceive about you…think about the consistency of your marketing process:

  • You’ve got a good website and Facebook page.

  • You’ve got well-presented showroom, offices and vehicle fleet parked outside.

  • Your client may have been referred to you.

  • Your staff are well-trained and professional.

  • Then your prospect/client calls and is placed on hold…what do they hear, and what do they think? Is it consistent?
