Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the disclosed invention include a system and method for crediting a customer account for having placed a call from the customer on hold during a customer service call. For example, in one embodiment, audible advertisements are played while a customer is on hold during a customer service call. Revenue received from the advertisers associated with the audible advertisements is used to credit the customer account. In some embodiments, the total credit applied to customer accounts for having been placed on hold completely offsets all revenue received from the advertisers of the audible advertisements. Thus, the disclosed embodiments provide a mutual benefit to advertisers and consumers.
