Dutch term or phrase: gevoelig hoger liggen dan
"Om volumes aan X te behandelen die *gevoelig hoger liggen dan* forecast, kan er aan call-picking gedaan worden: het aannemen van een call, het noteren van de klantgegevens en het maken van een terugbelafspraak."

The context is patently clear here except for the blurb between asterisks. This must be company-specific jargon, so I'm open to suggestions. RSVP. TIA. Cheers, R.

significantly higher


Explanation:
A few extra calls is okay, but a lot more calls can not be dealt with. Rather than letting them go unanswered, take details and phone back.
