			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Give me an A! Give me a V! Give me an S! Give me a T!&hellip; </strong><strong>What does it spell?!? </strong></p>
<p>Have you shouted praises of CallXpress to your peers?&nbsp;Do you have a story to tell about how AVST products or services have impacted your business?&nbsp;If so, then we&#8217;re looking for you!</p>
<p>Help other businesses that are considering purchasing AVST products or services, by agreeing to act as an AVST Customer Reference.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how the reference program works:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Simply agree to speak to prospective customers and/or media and industry analysts about your experience with AVST products and services.</li>
<li>As such, these businesses may from time-to-time contact you with questions regarding your level of satisfaction with AVST products, services and support.</li>
<li>Many customers find it valuable to speak with other companies that share similar business challenges.</li>
<li>AVST will track the number of times you are contacted to ensure that we do not overburden you with calls.</li>
</ul>
<p>We know your time is limited and extremely valuable and we will protect it. Our program is designed to be flexible enough to fit your schedule.</p>
