"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."

"Joe and his team delivered a thorough, professional review of our existing contracts and vendor relationships. In the case of waste services, they presented us with an alternative that would save us 76% - an incredible result. As for our facility supplies, their review concluded that our current contract was the best option, due to high early termination fees - and we appreciated the transparency."

"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.”

niponneil – Hospital Savings
MOST HOSPITALS AND CLINICS ARE OVERPAYING FOR THEIR BUSINESS SERVICES – AND DON’T EVEN KNOW IT
Current economic challenges have made it imperative for hospitals and clinics to continually assess their fiscal health in order to find ways to counter rising costs and staffing shortages. Many of these doctors know they can easily spend up to 36+ hours a week treating patients – leaving little time to help develop and maintain strategies to increase profitability or evaluate new opportunities to streamline operations. Most HOSPITALS AND CLINICS are overpaying for their business services – and don’t even know it
Evaluating the options that best balance your facility’s goals while ensuring optimal performance from your various business services can be very time consuming and frustrating. When was the last time you assessed your Waste or Merchant Services contract and pricing? Is it time for your team to get a no cost, no obligation audit of some of your key services from Schooley Mitchell?

Medical Waste
How predictable is your medical waste every month?
Variability in your medical waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.
How do you deal with amalgam waste? Contaminated waste? Sharps?
Each of these require a specific disposal method that could represent additional costs.
Who supplies your medical waste and sharps containers and how are they stored?
Operational procedures and location specific descisions can substantially impact your overall pricing.

Merchant Services
Do you reference the "effective rate" to evaluate how competitive your processing fees are?
A blended pricing structure makes it more difficult to fully understand all the factors impacting your fees.
Do you know how your current processing environment impacts your processing fees?
How you process payments and capture data can have a big impact on your monthly fees.
Have you asked your processor to provide you an "interchange-plus pricing" quote?
This pricing structure is often the least expensive and most transparent option.

Telecom
Have you conducted a recent usage audit across your telecommunications system?
In many cases, we find inefficiencies and redundancies in the number of lines and features.
Have you considered moving to a Voice over IP platform?
Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.
Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?
Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

Shipping
Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?
Vendors tend to specialize in certain areas so playing to their unique strengths can reduce your overall costs.
Are you paying for unnecessary delivery guarantees?
Being more flexible on delivery times can significantly reduce your costs.
Do you review your monthly statements to ensure the correct charge codes are used?
Charge codes can be very confusing and require a detailed review to ensure you are being charged correctly.
