According to The Inbound Telephone Call Center Magazine:

"94% of the average marketing budget is spent on enticing people to call a business, only 6% is spent on handling calls once they are received." What better way to ease the wait for your prospects and clients while keeping them informed about your evolving products and services.

When you stop to consider all of the ways that advertising dollars are spent you begin to appreciate how important your prescreened callers actually are. They're a captive audience poised and ready to listen to what you have to say. What you say and how you choose to say it is totally up to you. (i.e. silence (???). . . or the radio, with the station fading in and out and with those obnoxious commercials.)

It's your call . . . literally!
