Inspired by our previous work in Africa supporting public health and education initiatives, my husband and I are dedicated to rejuvenating mangrove habitats in Mbuguni, Kenya. This project ensures full transparency in the planting process and promotes environmental sustainability. By uplifting economically disadvantaged coastal populations, we foster poverty alleviation and create new income sources for locals through fishing opportunities and sustainable mangrove forest yields.

Shannon is a stellar client relations specialist who goes above and beyond to find cost reduction solutions. Her team's innovative approach and meticulous analysis of our expenses allowed us to uncover savings we hadn't even considered. I was thrilled when Shannon came back to me with a detailed report, revealing that Schooley Mitchell had identified savings in our waste disposal, phone, and internet services. This new found budget flexibility will greatly benefit our organization.

Shannon’s team analyzed our credit/debit card processing and shipping invoices to determine whether savings could be found. The Schooley Mitchell process is seamless and easy for the client. All that was required was a quick conversation about our set up, access to our invoices and contracts, and then Schooley Mitchell did all the work from there. My confidence was proven right when Shannon came back to me and presented the report showing that Schooley Mitchell was able to identify 45% savings in credit/debit card processing and significant recommendations to reduce our shipping costs. This will go a long way toward refocusing our budget on what matters most.

IS YOUR ECOMMERCE BUSINESS PAYING TOO MUCH FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES?
Your team has more important things to do than to conduct a thorough audit and renegotiation of your business expenses; but that’s what Schooley Mitchell does, all day, every day. We optimize your expenses so you can focus on doing what you do best.
At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent of any vendors. Our consultants receive no incentives or bonuses from services providers. In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to negotiate savings for our clients, we’ve based our business model on that very fact; if we don’t deliver savings, we don’t get paid.

Questions To Consider

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.

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.

Waste
How predictable is your waste every month?
Variability in your waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.
Is your container size and collection frequency optimized?
Finding a provider that is both cost effective and meets your needs can be challenging.
Are your waste disposal fees changing frequently over the course of the year?
A professional audit of your expenses can get to the bottom of it.

"Schooley Mitchell delivered a 50% reduction in our Merchant Services processing fees, without requiring any changes to our existing software. They were even able to get the implementation retroactive for several months due to the processor delays. Tangible results, behind the scenes, from a company that wouldn’t listen to us."
