Sam Sagor Thanks for the welcoming!

@Jamie McCauley awesome job just don't forget you made $20K and silent investor Uncle Sam made $10K

Sam W. - that is a great point.

Hi Sam.

@Sam Hadad Fortunate that we have this great investment opportunity here in this part of the country.

If you still want to go that route though, the link @Sam Leon provided has a lot of great pointers!

Thanks, Sam

. * pay for incidentals from company funds, anything "ordinary and necessary" (this says if you made $1000 but had $250 of expenses, Uncle Sam only taxes you on $750 profit) * reimburse driving mileage (you can't go overboard and call your call a business vehicle until you've reached a large threshold of usage) * you can use your company's funds to pay your continued educational expenses BEFORE tax (there's a max $, check your state for differences in the law) * fund your IRA (check your state's laws, also) * elect when your tax year begins (if you choose to be taxed as a corporation; this loses other benefits; you'll also need a 2nd owner just to exercise this option)Anyone who dismisses and bemoans an LLC as just a pass-through entity has never stopped to understand its benefits.

The written script you have nearby during a call should just be a reminder of points to cover, just in case you need to direct the conversation to cover one of those points.I just love having fun with the guys named "Sam Smith" calling from the call centers located in India :)
