Have you ever been put on hold on a phone call with some irritating “music”? Probably multiple times! I’m working on an article about branding mistakes. Seeking examples of companies that have horrid “wait” music – and may not realize the damage to their brand. Please send your examples.
Note that February 1st is CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD DAY. Online security is no joke.
Stay safe.
Your fan,
