Testimonial Letter from Optimal Spine and Body

To Prospective clients of David Burke and Schooley Mitchell:

I am writing this testimonial to recommend the cost-reduction services of David Burke and his team at Schooley Mitchell to any business looking to save money.

At Optimal Spine and Body, we are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality and best service in chiropractic care. Located in Alpharetta, our focus on results, our years of experience and education , and our attention to detail enabled us to provide the best possible treatment for our patients.

Schooley Mitchell’s attention to detail enabled them to find significant savings for our practice. We agreed to let them do an audit of our business expenses because David informed us that there would be no up-front cost for their services. Instead, Schooley Mitchell just charges a percentage of the savings after they are found.

True to his word, David returned after a few weeks with the results of the audit – over 40% savings on our merchant services bills and 20% on our telecom! The money we are saving every year can be put directly back towards improving our services for our clients, educating our staff, and purchasing important equipment.

We extend our thanks to David and Schooley Mitchell, and we sincerely recommend their cost-reduction services to any organization looking to save on their bills.

Sincerely,

Dr Michael Weiner

Testimonial Letter from The Trusted Toolbox

To: Prospective Clients of David Burke and Schooley Mitchell:

As the President and Founder of The Trusted Toolbox, I’m recommending the services of David Burke and Schooley Mitchell of Atlanta. At The Trusted Toolbox, we have a proven history of helping homeowners in Metro Atlanta with home repairs, remodels, and general handyman tasks. Our experts have experience remodeling bathrooms and kitchens, as well as performing small home improvement projects. We are a busy, growing company and simply did not have the time or resources to adequately review our expenses as thoroughly as we’d like.

I engaged David’s services to review our expenses for waste disposal and telecommunications. In our initial meeting, David shared that he would review our expenses and return to us with a list of recommendations that we could choose to
accept or not accept. No fees would be charged until we agreed to move ahead and then the only fee would be a share of the savings, no more.

To my surprise and delight, David and his team found ways to help us reduce our waste disposal expenses by 71% and our telecommunications expenses by nearly 10% with our data/internet expenses decreasing by 40%. Neither of these solutions required a change to our existing vendors so we gladly implemented them.

David’s team has since audited our bills which they will do every three months and no errors have been found to date.

I am very pleased with the results of his expense audit and highly recommend David and Schooley Mitchell.

Sincerely
Chris Lalomia

Recommendation from Corinthian Yacht Club


Since November of 2021 Corinthian Yacht Club (CYC) has partnered with Schooley Mitchell to drive down costs related to electronic payment card processing.

Schooley Mitchell began by conducting an in-depth analysis of our transaction and charge card expense history, then negotiated improved rates with several vendors including our incumbent, Gravity Payments of Ballard. Next, 3 different vendor/pricing options were presented to the club for us to determine which fit our needs the best.

Once our selection was made, SM implemented the change and provided a detailed summary of all transactions and charges every quarter. All this work has been funded by a share of the recovered funds, there is no net new cost for this service.

Goodwill Helps Communities Thrive

Goodwill programming helps communities thrive by training transferable job skills

Most people have heard of Goodwill thrift stores and the organization’s overall mission to alleviate the
barriers posed by poverty across North America. Many of us have even shopped or donated at our local store, which is fantastic. But chances are, you probably have not thought too much more about what Goodwill does.

With the revenue generated by the sale of donated items, Goodwill provides a critical service that helps uplift community members, beyond what you might think about. Despite being less recognized, this service is essential and deserves highlighting.

For over a century, one of Goodwill’s core missions has been to prepare residents of the communities it
operates out of for the “jobs of today and tomorrow.” Today, hundreds of thousands of people do not have the skills to thrive in our increasingly digital workplace. Goodwill provides the training and support to help those job seekers gain the expertise and tools they need to participate fully in today’s job market.

Nationwide, Goodwill works with different partners such as Google and Microsoft to offer technical skills education and certifications, giving them proficiency in in-demand areas for employers. And they’re successful at it, too. Goodwill of San Francisco Bay, for example, reports that 84% of their placed trainees are still employed a year later. This is an excellent program, not only for local job seekers, but employers in search of qualified talent, too. All too often, those who possess the determination and resilience to learn new skills and become valuable workers are simply missing the resources to access the necessary training. Goodwill’s programs remove these barriers, uplifting not only these individuals but entire communities as well.

Whether it’s because of immigration status, financial background, or any other number of potential reasons, Goodwill believes everyone deserves a path to building a stable career and uses the revenue generated through their thrift stores to offer a hand up.

As almost every community has a local Goodwill, there is a lot you, personally, can do to raise awareness for this fantastic service. Most importantly, raising awareness within your circles; whether it be a church or volunteer groups, networking channels, social media, or other forums. Oftentimes, the people who could benefit from this training most aren’t aware of its existence, and your promotion of it could be the difference between them receiving the help or not. Likewise, continue to support your local Goodwill by shopping and donating; this funding makes uplifting human lives and communities possible.
