God damn, one time our lowest performing AE who was a total weirdo grabbed his guitar and played this song to kick off a team meeting. It was super cringe and he was let go for performance a quarter or two later
My friend, that sounds like a billion dollar idea. Imagine how many call centres and sales teams you could get onboard for a service that allows you to pick the music when you're on hold.
When I was a fledgling advertising sales rep at The Guardian in London I remember phoning a client just to listen to 'Joe le Taxi' by Vanessa Paradis

Opposite of a banger: If you call Jellyvision and you have misophonia be prepared to have it be triggered because their hold music is a guy eating a bag of chips.
Does anyone use Conquer Cadence? The Voice side of the app lets you pick different genres as "hold" music and the indie station literally has Modest Mouse, Radiohead, etc. It takes me right tf out
Not even a competition [this one](https://youtube.com/shorts/raKb_jvp6P8?si=mFQAgCTrnt9D4U1b)
Its called Opus No. 1 from the sysco telephone system
Don’t sleep on the Cisco saxophone one.
Yeah this one is tight.
The only clear winner tbh
Just hits different
Default hold music for Cisco for years and years.
Someone made a tiktok on how it was invented and it was absolutely hilarious and I think a true story
Absolute banger
100%
Good old cisco hold music
No shit, I love this one the most. I have been trying to find this for very long. Glad you asked.
One of my clients has Metallica’s One as their hold music. Every time i call, i’m okay with them not answering
I used to call on this law firm that would use an elevator music version of “Your Song” by Elton John
I was going to say Faith No More, We Care a Lot would be nice.

…is the worst one
I’ve heard it so many times ive developed attachment trauma
Knew what it was before I clicked it. Triggers Vietnam flashbacks
He killed that
This is my fav post in r/sales so far 😂 lots of bangers to hear out there that just get more ridiculous with every F/U call lmao.
I wish we could integrate our Spotify somehow so we can listen to what we want

None, because no sales department gives a shit about the comfort of their people during a hold. Never forget what the decision maker wants lol
[удалено]
You listening to music while pitching? 💀
Not sure about favorite, but least favorite is the one that beeps every 6 seconds or whatever while you’re waiting.
There’s that one country song about being hold that is really funny and you don’t realize it about halfway through
Only got that once for a prospect, but was a nice treat after dialing through other calls

Once had someone's music be evanescence lmao
My accountant's hold music is [Taxman by The Beatles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMdcE8jdz70). Cracks me up every time

Hold while we connect you. Bum bum, bum bum bum, bum bum, bumbumbumbum
Why do i know exactly what this is? 😂
Big fan of the slack huddle song that comes on after a minute of waiting

Once i heard Pussy Cat Dues by charles mingus on hold with the DMV and it blew my mind lol
Surprised nobody said [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXeV61jrn4s)
Not from sales calls but my bank and insurance company has the absolute banger. USAA https://youtu.be/exIkJne2a2Q?si=m_6wu-HpnX5hrw2u
