This ensures that regardless of when customers want to call you, they can always get through to a helpful and professional customer service agent.

Not sure what the difference is between overflow and out of hours call handling?
Whistl provides two types of call centre services for times of unmanageable call volumes: overflow call handling and out of hours services.
The basic difference is:
- Overflow call handling is designed to help businesses manage call volumes above what internal departments can reasonably manage. This tends to be the term used during normal business hours.
- Out of hours call handling helps with call volumes outside of “normal” operating hours but is an extension of an overflow service. Normal operating hours are dependent on each company, and this service helps businesses to stay accessible at all times.
Whistl’s outsourced call centre service packages are built bespoke to each client, so it may be that you need a combination of services.
