This may be the way to go but not the best. Our agents frankly aren't the
brightest people and I can see them forgetting it as soon as it is said to
them, or they are not paying attention and missing the announcement but it
is something to look into. Thanks

When you send the caller to the queue, you can pass the name of the
audio file to be played as the announcement to the agent when he gets
the call. Maybe you could use that and pre-record the name of the
customer, passing that audio file
something like "exten =>
8000,n,Queue(8000|t||FilenameOfTheCustomerName|300)"
maybe you could also use festival
