Telephone Welcome Message

Explanation:
I think it refers to the annoying recording most companies have nowadays when you telephone them: minutes of publicity until you can finally talk to an actual person!

If it is so, I think this is a better translation. Although in Spanish it doesn't make sense either.

agree

philgoddard: Or "hold message". This does make more sense in the context, even though it's not what the Spanish says. After all, the next item on the list is the welcome itself, ie what you say to the customer when they finally get through.

-> Thanks! I guess it's Seth job to decide/get to know if they are talking about what I said.//could be too :)

agree

James A. Walsh: Definitely think you're on to something here. And agree with Phil. My problem is with the word "welcome" in both EN/ES. Perhaps "Telephone On-Hold Advertising"? http://tinyurl.com/ppeohkv //Agree, v badly worded in ES! Welcome Cntrs are usually physical..

David Hollywood: this is probably an annoyingly enough way to put it
