FWIW, I never say hello when answering numbers I don't recognize. Mostly robot 
calls hang up automatically in a few seconds and real people say hello. Fails 
with real people sometimes. Also gives me a chance to listen for call center 
noises in the background.

It sounds like there is more of the problem that neither the agent or customer 
knows when to start talking, ergo, when the call is "Connected", thus the OP 
wants the agent to start talking before the customer is brought in front of 
that agent.

Another solution would be to just play a "fake" recorded "hello" to both ends, 
maybe with a slight shift, inviting both to start talking.

I don't think its a problem with the agents failing to do their job, but rather 
unsuredness, maybe because it have happened regularly to those agents that they 
just "speak out in the empty" without any customer on the other end, and thus 
the agent instead waits for customer to say hello, while customer waits for 
agent to say hello.

Its a "classic problem" in the phone industry, so a great solution could be to 
play a fake hello after both of them are connected, inviting both to start 
talking, and they will automatically "find" each other.

I'm not sure I understand the situation. Are you saying agents are failing to 
do their job and just let the customer wait until they hang up in frustration?

If you record the calls, could you analyze them after the call? I don't use 
agents or queues so I don't know if it is possible, but the 'monitor()' 
application records each leg in a separate file.
