"As I got to know Lee, I decided to have him investigate our telecom expenses, because even though they were modest, anything would could save was a plus for us. In fact, Lee and Marla were able to find us savings at four of our locations. The savings ranged between 10 and 36% for our 4 locations. We saved money on TV, telephone, and internet."

"When billing errors have occurred, Lee and Marla have obtained credits for the incorrect billing. When we have needed to change service providers, and move locations, Schooley Mitchell has overseen those changes, so they go smoothly. When a vendor could not understand that we needed a simple move of a modem from one part of a building to another, Lee engaged with the vendor, making several phone calls to get them to understand what was needed, and that it did not need a construction crew. That would have added significant time delays, which we needed to avoid."

"The Schooley Mitchell service seemed too good to be true. No cost up front, and no payments for their share of the savings, until the savings were showing up on our bill, was just different. Nevertheless, Lee and Marla have been true to their word. When there are service issues we call them and they take care of the problems with the vendors. When our phones have gone out due to electrical system issues on our premises, Lee has come down to fix them.

I highly recommend Schooley Mitchell to any business that is looking to decrease their costs and improve their services."

Kahle Builders

"When Schooley Mitchell approached us about optimizing costs with our essential business services, we felt it would be worthwhile to investigate
since we have very little time to manage these services...

Their recommendations resulted in a little over 20% of savings with our wired service and 45% of savings with wireless. All without sacrificing the services we were using... They also monitor our accounts on a monthly basis to ensure the savings are realized and keep us optimized as our needs evolve and change."
