"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"In early 2020 we engaged the services of Schooley Mitchell to investigate our telecom costing for our Montebello office. Their analysis resulted in savings of over 40% on our telecom services, without the need for a provider change. The following year they presented a new savings opportunity regarding our toll-free expense resulting in further significant savings."

"We are very satisfied with the professional service provided by Schooley Mitchell and have no hesitation in recommending them as a reliant and trustworthy service provider to any organization concerned with expense management."

"We asked Axel to look at our telecom and data expenses to determine if he could help us. On completion of his analysis, he presented an option that would save us just over 24% on our wireline and data services. There was no disruption in service, and we didn't even have to change providers."

"[Schooley Mitchell] negotiated and implemented annual savings on our local and long distance costs in excess of $2,300."

"My firm engaged Schooley Mitchell as our telecommunications costing consultant in March of 2016. Following an analysis of my costing, they uncovered annual savings in excess of 30%. They follow up each quarter with a detailed savings review."

"I have no hesitation to recommend Schooley Mitchell as a professional and reliable business partner to any business interested in optimizing its telecommunication costs."

"We think all companies could benefit from this type of review, regardless of size, if only to confirm that they have the best possible pricing."

"We are well pleased with the savings and service we received as a result of our relationship with Schooley Mitchell."

"Following an analysis of our current costing, Axel returned with proposals that will culminate in annual savings in excess 30% on our wireless telephone, and over $3,500 per year on our Merchant Services Costing."

"I thank you [Axel] for the courteous and professional attention we received from both you and your Head Office team."

"After meeting with Axel, we authorized him to look into our landline and wireless telecom costing. 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."

"We went ahead with an analysis of our Waste Removal expense. On completion of their investigation Axel presented us with an opportunity for savings of 15% on our waste removal. The best part was that we didn't even need to change providers. Later in the year we asked Axel to investigate our Propane expense. This resulted in savings of several thousands of dollars annually, again without the need for a provider change."

"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. It was gratifying to receive cost-free independent confirmation we were already receiving the best value on our telecom expenses. I am happy to endorse Schooley Mitchell as a reliable business partner."

"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. Our only fee was a share of the savings Axel’s team was able to negotiate."

"Not only will Birthright save 35% over what we were previously paying each month but also Mr. Sarno will audit our monthly services to make certain that we are being billed correctly in the future. We at Birthright highly recommend Schooley Mitchell to any organization interested in considerable savings in their telecommunications billing."

"Not only will we save money, they will audit our monthly cellular service and make adjustments when necessary to save money. In addition, the proposal we accepted retained our original provider which gave us a high level of confidence that our service levels would not be impacted because there was very little change except the savings we will realize."

"Not only will we save money to the order of greater than 70% on our overall annual telecom spend, Schooley Mitchell was actually able to increase service levels in our internet data line to double the prior capacity for less money than we were paying."

"Jerry Sarno from Schooley Mitchell found savings that were beyond our expectations. He did a thorough job of investigating our current services, and provided excellent alternatives in order to save money. We will save more than 40% with plans and services negotiated by Schooley Mitchell. "

"Schooley Mitchell has been a valuable service for our business since we allowed them to help us. They do a very good job of taking care of our telecommunications needs and services and optimizing our expense dollars. We have renewed our agreement with them and they have worked on our behalf for over 5 years."

"Jerry found the right vendors, helped us build the business requirements based on what we needed and wanted, not what was important to the vendors. He helped us with the questions and answers the vendors needed to ask, and built the project plan around our time restraints, not those of the vendors."

"The analysis was completed in a timely fashion and we were able to reduce our telecom expense by greater than 50% year over year. Schooley Mitchell implemented the various changes to our plans and services in a manner that was the least disruptive to our environment."

"In the process of working with Schooley Mitchell, they discovered that we had been paying for an old ISDN circuit which had been disconnected for over 3 years. Schooley Mitchell was able to negotiate with the carrier for a refund of 2 years of those charges we had paid, which resulted in a check for over $5,600 and the discontinuation of the monthly charges going forward!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and John for the extensive time that you have spent in analyzing our telecommunication expenses and obtaining reductions on our behalf. Your monthly diligence in making sure the savings actually show up on our invoices is much appreciated.
You told us what you could do for us...and you went ahead and did it. I consider that to be the foundation of a good working relationship."

"The Schooley Mitchell route is one that I would recommend for any small, medium or large company. Your organization was able to optimize everything in a short period of time with no worries. We are now saving money on a monthly basis and have someone to monitor our communications bills, even when we aren't looking. It is one thing off of our plate that allows us to concentrate on our core business even more."

"Your professional approach to the process has been greatly appreciated and it has been a pleasure working with you and your team at Schooley Mitchell. I have been extremely pleased with the entire process; from the initial meeting to the analysis and recommendations and finally the implementation, everything has proceeded quickly and efficiently."

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and John for the excellent services you have provided Grober. Both of you have impressed me with your professional, yet personable and patient approach to the evaluation of our telecommunication needs. Needless to say, our telecommunication service charges, especially our cell phone charges, have been reduced significantly."

"During our initial meeting you emphasized how often a company, regardless of size, may have overlooked potential savings and efficiencies in their telecommunications system. As it
turned out, we were one of those companies, but through your expertise and recommendations we were not only able to improve our telecommunications system, but realized further cost savings as well."

"A major project which Trudy and I were involved with was the move of our unit from the hospital into the community in May 2002. We depended on Trudy to provide us with a business plan for the new communication system, with costs and features information for Mitel and comparable systems. She knew our business intimately and was able to give us valuable advice and suggestions. Trudy poured over the floor plans (and revisions) many times so the required jacks for both the hospital and our own network systems were properly placed and working."

"The Chamber's experience with this company has been extremely positive. The process took very little time from our perspective and the information from the evaluation revealed an area where there was an opportunity for some savings. Neil Hostein offers both knowledge and service to his clients. There is no doubt that the Chamber will go through this process again in time to determine if we are still getting the best value for our dollar. Schooley Mitchell is, in my opinion, an excellent and professional organization to deal with."

"We have been very impressed with your consistent professionalism and genuine care and concern for us as an organization. We have been especially impressed with how you willingly go above and beyond what is expected to help us as a client. It is a rare thing to experience in this day and age and is greatly appreciated. Also, your tenacity, when dealing with vendors, to negotiate the best possible contracts that meet our needs and budgetary requirements has been tremendously beneficial for us. Your efforts have saved us thousands of dollars!"
