"I wanted to take this opportunity to write about my experience working with Marty Stacey of Schooley Mitchell. I was initially hesitant to engage with Schooley Mitchell as I felt we were already optimized in the cost areas that they focused on. However, after Marty explained the process, I decided to try out their services on one cost category-uniforms/linens. I was extremely impressed that Schooley Mitchell was about to reduce my monthly bill on uniforms by over 54% - without requiring any vendor change!"

Project Abraham

"No one knows the importance of managing costs more than those who work in the nonprofit sector. I was faced with the task of setting my employees up with cell phones - I had no idea where to start. The thought of calling various companies getting quotes was overwhelming - I just didn't have the time or expertise to do this. I reached out to Marty and Schooley Mitchell and they were incredibly helpful in finding the right options for Project Abraham."

Trix Acro Gym

"I was skeptical that any savings could be found. We use a specific software platform to manage our class registrations, and I didn't think there would be options to reduce fees. However, it only took a small amount of time to gather the documents required, so I decided to move forward with the analysis from Schooley Mitchell. I was extremely impressed that Schooley Mitchell was able to find a solution that reduced our fees by over 16%! No vendor change was required, and we continue to manage our class registrations on the software platform like we always have."

The best part? Since Schooley Mitchell's only fees are a portion of savings found, their analysis came at no expense."

The report was thorough, well-structured, and provided multiple options to choose from. Ultimately, we moved forward with an option that identified 39% of savings in our EPP expenses. What stood out most is that Schooley Mitchell handles all the heavy lifting, making the process seamless and hassle-free.

During our first discussion I raised a concern about our ministry being too small for them to spend their time on, or to find meaningful savings. Their answer was that there was no “too small” when it comes to God’s work and if they could assist us in moving cents or dollars from expenses to ministry then it would be well worth the effort."

                    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.

                    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?

                    Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

                    Shipping

                    Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?

                    Do you review your monthly statements to ensure the correct charge codes are used?
