The problem is not the phone. It is repetition.
In many companies, teams are not overloaded because every call is complex. They are overloaded because too many calls repeat the same pattern: the same question, the same check, the same routing, the same reminder, the same status update.
For one week, group requests by reason: information, status updates, appointments or callbacks. Note the time spent and which information is needed to answer. Start with the recurring groups, not the most complex cases.
