OK Startup Nation, I want to talk to you about our sponsor, Tresta. Tresta is an app for iPhone and Android that lets you do business calling and texting from anywhere. 

I know so many entrepreneurs that are still using their personal phone number for business calls. It can get complicated, drawing the line between your personal and professional life. 

This is the best business phone app out there, whether you just need a business phone number or if your team is ready for a complete business phone system. Tresta is totally flexible and can grow with your business. And it’s all unlimited – calling, texting, and all of their powerful call management features like auto attendants, call recording, user groups, and more – for just $15 per user per month. 

With Tresta, there’s no contract, and you don’t need any special hardware – just the smartphone you’re already using. Tresta is easy to configure, so you can set everything up yourself - all online – avoiding all the hassle and high overhead costs of setting up a traditional business phone system. Which is important because as entrepreneurs we are always trying to cut cost.

They’re offering a 30-day free trial, so you can see if Tresta’s virtual phone system is right for you. Communicate smarter and more efficiently with Tresta. Start now at tresta.com/startuplife. The link is there in the show notes if you are listening to the podcast. Tresta, Business Communication. Simplified.

StartupNation, as a podcaster, radio host, and business owner, I know a thing or two about the need for your message to come through clearly to your target audience. The last thing you want when trying to close a big deal over the phone or giving a sales presentation in your conference room is to have the person you are talking to be distracted by either the fact that you sound like you are in a warehouse or outside noise like a fire truck.  Trust me, StartupNation; I know this from experience as our home studio is near our international airport. And that is why Auralex has your back.

Auralex Acoustics creates professionally tested products that you can trust in a commercial space or at home. Better office acoustics improves intelligibility (video conferencing or generic conversation), reduces stress, and helps build a productive work atmosphere. From a home studio for my content creators to your office space downtown, your gear performs better in an acoustically treated room. Trust me; you are in good hands with Auralex as they are the #1 brand in acoustics, providing trusted solutions for over 40 years. Also, you can Download the Auralex acoustic treatment mobile app in the Apple or Google Play Store to give you specifically designed and instantaneous recommendations for various room types.
