We have implemented this for many customers for many different reasons. Most are thinking to make their queue look shorter by getting people off the phone (NOT!). Others think they can have agents answer callbacks when they don't have calls coming in (NOT!). Still others believe that customers are willing to wait longer for a callback than sitting on hold (NOT!). You really need to think about what you are hoping to accomplish, what you expect your customer's response will be, and how you will handle the volume. Maybe only offer after a certain time on hold or when there are more than X calls in queue. That seems to work the best. Also, make sure you don't offer callback too close to closing so you have time to actually call them back.

Hello Community,
We're implementing callbacks and need some advise from other customers who have implemented this as part of their call routing. I'd like to connect with someone to ask questions.
