          "Joe and his team performed a thorough and professional analysis of our contracts and services. While the review ultimately confirmed that we were already receiving competitive pricing and no immediate cost savings were available, they went above and beyond by identifying early termination fees and offering insight into future cost-saving opportunities."

          "As Joe had promised, the decision to implement any changes was entirely ours. After careful consideration, we decided to remain with our current provider, as we valued the long-standing relationship we had and preferred not to pass on processing fees to our customers through per-charge costs. Throughout the process, we felt no pressure from the Schooley Mitchell team to make any changes we were uncomfortable with."

                  aegiuggio – Savings

                  "I told [Schooley Mitchell] to go ahead, but they wouldn’t find anything... Well, I was wrong... [They] found a way to cut our fees by 37%, which translated to $10,000.00 in the first month alone - over $100,000.00 annualized."

                  - A Happy Schooley Mitchell Client

                  Burke & Sons Construction

                  “[Schooley Mitchell] renegotiated with our waste vendor at our main location which resulted in savings of over 53%. At our second location, they were able to find another vendor that would reduce our costs by over 63%. Schooley Mitchell handled the entire implementation for any necessary changes, which provided me with peace of mind that everything was being handled correctly.”

                  Central Roofing

                  “Regardless of how closely you manage your telecom services, I recommend that you have Schooley Mitchell provide you with an analysis of those services. The report costs you nothing and the savings opportunities that they find may surprise you.”

                  Chase Roofing & Contracting

                  “Schooley Mitchell negotiated better rates for our credit card processing, mobile phones, fleet tracking, and waste removal! I am so excited because they saved us 43% in fees and a total annual savings of over $50,000!!”

                  Macrodyne

                  “[Schooley Mitchell] was able to save us 64% in waste while remaining with our incumbent vendor and 48% in telecom spend with a vendor change. We were very excited to significantly reduce our costs; we were also happy to avoid any disruption from switching vendors for waste and flawless transition in telecom.”

                  McNeil Industries

                  “Schooley Mitchell's goal during the analysis was to see what could be saved with our current shipping vendor while seeing what other options were out there to save money. We were able to review a comprehensive value report illustrating our current configuration and costs compared to the rates they were able to negotiate on our behalf. The results [they] presented was impressive with savings of 23% without switching providers that will save our company significant money every year!”

                  A Duchini Inc.

                  “From day one, you have put our business and our values first. You have managed to save us 20% - 60% on our services, all while respecting the relationships we have developed with our long time vendors, and introducing us to new ones. The time and energy I have saved is invaluable!”

                  Central Avenue Apartments LLC

                  “I was very impressed to learn that [Schooley Mitchell’s] team has managed to reduce our cost by 46.39% and eliminated some administration fees, plus capping any annual increases in cost to a minimum if it occurs.”

                  Able Industrial

                  “We have implemented a change with our waste expense that will save us over $8000 per year, a 64% reduction from our previous costs. We ended up changing vendors, but I appreciate that Schooley Mitchell even got the prior vendor to negotiate their costs down about $4000. We were a little hesitant about the transition, but Schooley Mitchell handled everything with the vendors and to date we are happy with the new service.”

                  Client A:

                  • Schooley Mitchell negotiated and implemented the proper rate structure on each account. The client’s estimated savings over the 36-month agreement is $3,878,899.20.
                  • The client will continue processing with their incumbent vendor and receive annual savings of 50.5%, totaling $775,779.84, after implementing our recommendations.
