    What Our Clients Say

    “The savings he found for telecom were the equivalent of us getting 60 new donors – and it only took me a couple hours of my time to make that happen. Two hours for 60 donors? I’d do that again in a second.”

    Lee Behensky

    Quantum Leap Farm

    “Out of curiosity, I contacted former colleagues to ask what pricing they could provide, and to my astonishment, they were only able to provide pricing half as good as what Amanda and Schooley Mitchell could provide. This proved to me that Schooley Mitchell has built very strong relationships and has remarkable buying power.”

    Wayne Fredin

    Community Options

    “For Waste Removal, Schooley Mitchell presented some local options where we could make a switch from our current provider and save 80%! Those are savings we did not realize were available and Schooley Mitchell did a great job laying out the implementation process”

            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?

            Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.

            Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

            Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

            Shipping

            Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?

            Vendors tend to specialize in certain areas so playing to their unique strengths can reduce your overall costs.

            Are you paying for unnecessary delivery guarantees?

            Being more flexible on delivery times can significantly reduce your costs.

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

            Charge codes can be very confusing and require a detailed review to ensure you are being charged correctly.

            Case Study

            The Client:

            • Signs a Service Agreement that covers our business terms
            • Provides us with bills, or online access to their accounts, so we can establish a baseline of their current rate structure
            • Signs a letter of agency, so we can negotiate with their current vendors
            • Describes their current processing environment

            Schooley Mitchell:

            • Uses our benchmarking data to research options nad negotiates better pricing for the client
            • Requests, reviews, and validates competitive quotes from other processors
            • Negotiates with the current vendor for a re-rate

            • Assists with compliance standards
            • Implements pricing and changes

            Client A:

            An attorneys office, with an average annual revenue between $1 to $5 million. Their pain points included:

            • Very poor service experience from incumbent phone system provider left them without phones for multiple employees with no clear path forward to close gap
            • Concerned costs for overnight document shipping were out of line with no ability to compare to the broader market
            • Limited time to investigate phone providers and shipping costs and no market data to use while negotiating

            Client A sought Schooley Mitchell’s marketplace intelligence and expertise to assist with a phone transition and to save money across essential services.

            • Reduced shipping, data/internet, and waste removal costs with no vendor change

            IS YOUR RETAIL OR SUPPLY BUSINESS PAYING TOO MUCH FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES?

            At Schooley Mitchell, we’re entirely independent of any vendors. Our consultants receive no incentives or bonuses from services providers.

            Commodity markets can be complex and confusing, making it difficult for business owners and managers to navigate.

            Are you certain there are no billing errors in your invoices?

            There are opportunities to optimize pricing structures and recover billing errors.

            Are you receiving all tax benefits available to you?

            Your business might be missing out on significant savings opportunities.

            The Quilted Crow

            “Thanks to the Schooley Mitchell analysis and the recommendations from, our credit card fees were reduced by 44%, which exceeded my expectations. In addition, a reduction of approximately 30% was found on my telecom services by modifying and simplifying the plan. The cost savings and improved service is very significant to me, and I’m very happy with the results.”

            Ripley Shirt Company

            “I feel that Schooley Mitchell had our best interest in mind on all the work they did for us. They simply found options that made the most sense for our business - no pressure to change vendors or to accept any recommendation. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a fair and thorough review of their services.”

            JT’s Liquor

            “Schooley Mitchell improved our telecom savings by 23.5% and I was credited $1200 because they found an opportunity on our billing by finding three televisions being billed that were never in use. In addition, they were able to lock in my pricing for 3 years, which is a big deal.”

              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?

              Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.

              Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

              Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

              Shipping

              Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?

              Vendors tend to specialize in certain areas so playing to their unique strengths can reduce your overall costs.

              Are you paying for unnecessary delivery guarantees?

              Being more flexible on delivery times can significantly reduce your costs.

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

              Charge codes can be very confusing and require a detailed review to ensure you are being charged correctly.
