What is an Overflow Call Handling Service?

Your business may already have an in-house team of call agents that meet most of your customers calls needs. However, there may be holiday periods, peak hours of a day or more seasonal busy periods where call numbers increase above the average and your customers' calls are not being answered efficiently or effectively.

These calls might be for general enquiries, customer support, or more technical helpdesk support needs.

Whistl offers your business a UK-based call centre solution, where you can outsource a proportion of your business calls. We work with you to understand your typical call rates and overflow needs and fully train our call agents so that the service we deliver is aligned to your internal team. Whistl's experienced call centre team will ensure that all your customer calls are handled effectively. This is why call handling services are essential to businesses looking to operate more efficiently.

Does your business need overflow call handling?

Overflow call centre services are ideal for businesses that have a demand for customer service at a time that isn’t manageable for the business owner or customer service team.

An outsourced overflow call handling service is also ideal for businesses with international customers to help manage variations in call volumes from other countries. After all, it’s sometimes difficult to predict when call volumes might peak in your own region, let alone across multiple countries.
