Intentionally Bad Hold Music
-
I am looking for a post from somewhere, sometime that I can't remember about a guy who created intentionally bad hold music for pushy sales calls. The jist of it was the music was spectacularly bad, and then was doctored to be nearly unbearable to see how long the caller would stay on hold in hopes of making a sale. Then the system would hang up.
I can't for the life of me remember where I heard this. Does anyone remember this?

@Skyetel That's it mate! Thanks!
I found the song on youtube, but not the doctored annoyances.
Solid work.
Happy to help!

@Scott These things are funny to talk about, but why do it? It is your money being spent for the inbound call.

@JaredBusch Not using it for calls. Was looking for the audio for something else.

It's doesn't have to be about the money.

I'd pay $0.05 for a 5 minute recording of a spammer or solicitor listening to that lol

I wouldn't because I have no desire to waste my time like that.

When I was much younger and not professional, I changed the hold music on my last day at a job to a CD with gangster rap. Not sure how long it lasted.

Someday you'll realize it's not about money, and certainly not about your flavor of "business". Think of me when you do.

There are plenty of hobby companies out there. But they are not real business. They are hobbies for whoever runs it.

@Skyetel People like to defend the weirdest things.
The only purpose of any business is to make profit. It is not like this is a secret.

@JaredBusch Our hold music is epic bagpipe music, and we have Lenny turned on for our own phone number.
Sometimes you should have some fun while also trying to make some money. They aren't mutually exclusive
-
Nobody has mentioned Lenny?!
We just keep a blocked number list and forward to his extension
