Hey Martijn,

Have you considered outsourcing your overflow calls for that period of the day? It sounds like you have gone through the standard solutions, and maybe you can use a thhird party to give you some relief.

There are options these days to use callback features, but they only work if you have excess capacity later (within a reasonable timeframe from when the client calls).

Yet another alternative to consider: are there other departments in the building with staffing resources that you can draw from to help out during your time of need? A correspondence or e-mail department for example, who have the option of taking a break and going back to their core workloads after plugging in for an hour or so?

Could you encourage your customers to switch to e-mail??
