      Art’s Muffler and Tire, Inc.

Jim listened to our needs with our CC processing as he provided a solution which brought ease of use with annual savings estimated over 25% with no cost for new equipment which was important to us."

      The Barn on York

      "It was important to us that we not only improve our process time with an integrated solution, but to also save money each month. Jim listened to us as they found a recommendation that allowed us to use an integrated process without any new equipment and save us 19% on our processing every month!"

      Miichelle Lancour Dentistry

      "It was important to us that we kept the same process for merchant services due to our system integration. Jim listened to us as [Schooley Mitchell] found us savings of 21.5% while staying with out current process without any new equipment or changes to our banking system!"

      Master Plan Communications

      "It was clear Jim listened to what was important for our business, as [Schooley Mitchell] found us an option that allowed us to stay with our current cable and internet provider while saving us 30% every month..."

      Claggett & Sons

      "Jim is very professional, helpful, and easy to work with."

      Cardinal CT

      "We were pleased with the review process, their professionalism and the results. We would highly recommend Jim Lichtenberg of Schooley Mitchell to any organization or business that is interested in finding solutions that best fit their business for the lowest price possible."

      Dublin Dental Associates

      "The results Jim presented was a savings of over 10% by staying with our integrated vendor. Jim also showed us other opportunities of savings over 25% if we switched. Jim spent time going over what a switch in vendors would entail and after further discussion, it was determined staying with our current vendor was the right choice for us at this time. The best part is Jim and his team did not push us to make the switch, rather discussed all the options and helped us determine the best choice."

      Screen Machine Industries

      "It is nice to know that there is a company like Schooley Mitchell that is looking out for our best interest and we are fortunate to have their expertise and guidance.

      Buxton Inn

      "The results Jim presented was an impressive savings of over 24%, which equates to thousands of dollars a year. The savings meant changing vendors, but Jim outlined a plan and helped us throughout the implementation process."

      Leo J Mahoney Co.

      "After the initial analysis and vendor negotiations were completed, Jim set up a meeting to review the possible savings options that Schooley Mitchell had uncovered. The report was thorough and well laid out and gave us multiple options to choose from. With the option we ended up choosing, their analysis identified savings of 15% in Small Package Shipping, 22% in Telecom and confirmed our LTL pricing is fully optimized."

      Oylair Specialty

      "Jim's team meticulously reviewed our invoices for billing errors, usage patterns, and pricing structures to uncover potential savings. Their initial efforts resulted in a 12% cost reduction-all while keeping both our UPS and FedEx accounts active, with no major changes to our shipping environment. After approximately two years, Jim's team identified another opportunity to optimize our shipping strategy. By shifting the majority of our shipments to a single carrier, we achieved a remarkable 33% savings. This ongoing oversight truly demonstrates the value of having Jim and Schooley Mitchell proactively managing our shipping costs."

                Strategic-Partner
                Office: 412-406-8524

                Office Information

                Guardian Storage

                "Marc came back to us with a savings recommendation that would end up saving us over 30% regarding our waste disposal costs, which equated to thousands in savings that we could invest in other aspects of our business. As time moved along in our relationship with Marc, I soon realized that the monetary savings were just part of the package. Marc oversees the monitoring of the account, which includes assessing for billing errors and working to get them refunded, management of changes needed such as size of containers or frequency of pick-ups, negotiating pricing for roll-off containers for construction projects and correcting missed pick-ups or scheduling additional pick-ups."

                American Office Installers

                "Marc and his team presented to us that for our credit card processing, we were set up on a rate structure that was not the best fit for our organization. We decided to take their recommendation for a supplier switch where we got much lower rates and less fees. We were also pleased that the switch was implemented without issue as Marc and the vendor we worked with were in sync on set-up and training. Right away we ended up saving over 30% from our previous pricing."

                Pittsburgh Property Diva

                "Marc and his team were very professional and showed the patience that is needed when negotiating better pricing. We're glad that we brought Schooley Mitchell in to manage this expense for us and we're pleased that as part of their service they will monitor our statements quarterly to ensure we continue to be optimized. Pittsburgh Property Diva recommends Marc and his team without hesitation."

                Merit Electrical Group, Inc.

                "We were very happy with the results that Schooley Mitchell brought to us in their value report. We were able to save 14% on our wireless services and 20% on our local services. The savings generated will save us enough money where we could put that money into other areas of need for our business."

                United Plate Glass Company

                "What impressed us was that Schooley Mitchell recommended savings that were less than the maximum that could be achieved because they understood the impact to our business efficiency. It is wonderful to have a true independent consultant that doesn't have financial ties to any providers, who is looking out for your best interests. We were very pleased with the work done by Marc and his team at Schooley Mitchell. We absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking at cost reduction."

                Mascari Auto Body, Inc.

                "We've been very pleased with the results that Schooley Mitchell brought to us. On the telecommunications side, they were able to find us approximately 28% in savings on our wireless bill and some additional savings on our local and data services. The best part was that they were able to do so while keeping us with our current providers. On the merchant services end Schooley Mitchell was able to reduce our processing rates and fees substantially! Here, they saved us 35% without us having to switch our processing company or banking relationship. Both results will save us thousands each year!"

                CJL Engineering

                "Marc is easy to work with, proactive in his dealings with various telecommunication vendors, and effectively communicates his ideas. The reports produced by Schooley Mitchell are clear, helpful and easy to read. Schooley Mitchell also has an ongoing process to monitor the marketplace for supplemental recommendations for our company should they arise."

                Patrick Financial Co., Inc.

                "The best part of working with Marc is that he doesn't stop working for you once they reduce the pricing. They are constantly looking for more ways to save money and they are always there to take a phone call and problem solve with you. I recommend anyone that is having issues with their telecom or thinks they may be spending too much to call Marc and have him come in for a visit. It will undoubtedly be worth your time."

                Dell Fastener Corporation

                "We're so appreciative of the hard work and honesty that Schooley has demonstrated to us. Their business model is as transparent as they state it to be ... meaning you don't pay for Schooley's services until you, the client, realize the savings in your income statement."

                IGS Industries

                "We have been engaged with Marc and his team for over 2 years. They've helped us reduce costs significantly regarding our small package shipping expenses and our credit card processing expenses. The results have saved our company thousands of dollars that we can invest back into our business in other needed areas."

                Bradigan’s Inc.

                "When we were introduced to Marc, we determined that if his company’s expertise could help us to save dollars that could be better used elsewhere for our business, it was worth taking a look. First, Marc’s team looked at our telecom providers. They helped us to save 21% on our wireless expenses with no change in suppliers. Then, we had Marc’s team assess our credit card processing expenses, to which they determined that we were overpaying by a significant amount. We did accept their recommendation to change processing companies, which resulted in 23% savings and over a period of 3 years resulted in tens of thousands brought back to our business’ bottom line."

After an in­ depth review of our telecom expense, Axel presented an opportunity for Southwest Properties to secure savings on our wireless costing in excess of 24% in the first 2 years, and over 8% in each subsequent year. The best part of the proposal was that we maintained our current provider with the same level of service we've been enjoying for years."

                    "For the past three years we have enjoyed documented savings in excess of 50%, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars. The best part came from the fact that we didn’t even need to change providers. The process was simple, requiring little effort on our part."

                    "At the end of the analysis, Axel presented me with a detailed Value Report, confirming we were already receiving optimal costing in our telecom package.

                    "With minimal effort on our part, Axel and his team went to work on the two categories we requested. Four weeks later, Axel presented Value Reports on each category. In the case of Merchant Services, we were gratified to receive independent verification we were already well optimized with our current provider. This confirmation came at no cost to us. In the case of our Propane expense, they negotiated reductions resulting in thousands of dollars in monthly savings with no need to change providers.
