DALLAS — As Thelma Sample recalls, it all started with a dream, one that was accompanied by just $1,200.
TEXAS SIZE IMPACT — A business that went into full operations in January 2010, Thelma Sample’s valiant commitment to achieving excellent customer service has undoubtedly given way to Success Tax Relief emerging as one of the top and most efficient tax and financial institutions in the Southwest Texas.
“We sold an old 50-inch TV and 1983 Chevy S10 and we got busy,” Sample, a Houston-area businesswoman, told Making Headline News while explaining in detail the events that led to her starting her business venture. “With little to no money, we learned how to be creative from posting free ads on Craigslist to putting out bandit signs and calling through a tax lien list-vigorously cold calling. Making up to 100 calls a day, we refused to give up.”
It was, in fact, because of the tireless, resilient efforts by Sample and Co. that Success Tax Relief has become a popular financial-based establishment throughout Houston’s massive Metroplex.
A business that went into full operations in January 2010, Sample’s valiant commitment to achieving excellent customer service has undoubtedly given way to Success Tax Relief emerging as one of the top and most efficient tax and financial institutions in the Southwest Texas.
“In the beginning, it was just myself and my husband (Deaphalis Sample) and one CPA and one enrolled agent,” Sample said. “In the beginning we worked long hours…just like now…12-to-13 hour days. We started the company to truly make a difference in the lives of taxpayers and help guide them through the complicated tax code. We know dealing with the IRS can be scary and confusing. The good news is we can help.”
A company that is currently comprised of two locations — 7207 Regency Square Suite 260 in Houston and 1001 West H Street Suite C in La Porte, Texas — Success Tax Relief boasts over a combined 60 years of IRS experience, particularly as it relates to solving consumer and business tax debts, according to a spokesperson for the company.
“At Success Tax Relief, we like to think that our service sets us apart when compared to other companies in our line of work,” a Success Tax Relief spokesperson said in a detail description of the company at https://www.successtaxrelief.com/about-us/. “As a small business, we live by the following values, which have contributed largely to our incredible success with helping others settle their tax debts.”
Not only that, Success Tax Relief proudly and steadfastly promotes what is known as its “Open Door Policy” under which this institution operates at all times.
“Many of our competitors will not provide their office locations for fear that their customers will actually show up at their door,” said a spokesperson for Success Tax Relief.
Surely, that isn’t merely the case with Sample’s booming, progressive thriving business venture which, to her credit, has become one of Houston’s finest.
“Our slogan is, ‘Be A Man or A Woman,’” said Sample, whose business routinely advertises on Houston’s top urban radio station, Majic 102.
Also, Sample’s company advertises through KSEV 700 AM Voice of Texas, Houston’s Conservative Talk Show of Dave Ramsey, the Dana Show, and Chris Saucedo.
TWO SITES AND COUNTING — A company that is currently comprised of two locations — 7207 Regency Square Suite 260 in Houston and 1001 West H Street Suite C in La Porte, Texas — Success Tax Relief boasts over 60 years of experience, particularly as it relates to solving consumer and business tax debts, according to a spokesperson for the company.
Interestingly, Success Tax Relief is widely known for its efficient service, most notably because it customarily aids consumers in solving IRS tax problems year round, as well as help them with CPA’s and serve as tax attorney.
An “A+ Rated” Better Business Bureau Firm, Success Tax Relief helps enrolled agents file 1099’s, W2’s, 1065’s, 1120’s, 1120S, 940 and941’s (payroll), amended tax returns, as well as negotiate back taxes and audit appeals, among other things.
“In 2012, we hit a goal we set in 2010 to write a million dollars in revenue, and we wrote $1.2 million that year and it’s only gotten better each year after that,” Sample said. “We are active members of La Porte Bayshore Chambers of Commerce, ASTPS- American Society of Tax Payers Problem Solvers, and Board of Advisors Mastermind, and Michael Rozburch’s Roz Strategies.”
Looking ahead, Sample said her business will likely start a live podcast show entitled, “Ask the Tax Expert,” during which she and her business partners will provide tax tips to individuals and business owners about itemized deductions for which they can qualify. In addition, Sample during her podcast will provide pertinent information to consumers about having a separate business bank account, particularly from their personal account, as well as pass along information on how they can make estimated tax payments, etc.
“We know applied wisdom and tax education is the key to preventing a lot of tax problems,” Sample said.
After all, as shespecifically recalls, it all started with a dream, one that was accompanied by just $1,200.
Today, unlike never before, she’s undoubtedly reaping the fruits of her labor.
Which goes to show that, surely, dreams really do come true.
