Putting someone on hold is useful in various situations, such as:

  • Needing to consult with a colleague or supervisor before providing an answer.
  • Gathering additional information or documentation to assist the caller.
  • Handling multiple calls at once and needing to temporarily pause one conversation.

To put a caller on hold:

  1. Inform the caller that you are putting them on hold (they will hear hold music), and then click Hold.
