My Business
Businesses are bombarded with offers on the latest technology, service or application every day. That is why I help my clients make sense of their telecom, card processing, small package shipping, waste disposal, ELD, electronic signatures, utilities and fuel, allowing them to receive independent, objective advice that reduces their expenses by an average of 27-28 percent.
Ideal Referral
My ideal referral is a mid-sized organization, often 20 to 500 employees, with significant recurring vendor expenses in areas like telecom, shipping, utilities, merchant services, and software. They may span industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, professional services, trades, nonprofits, and multi-location businesses. I work best with decision makers— typically CFOs, COOs, owners, or operations leaders who know costs are creeping up but lack the time or resources to regularly review contracts and bills. They value efficiency, quality service at fair prices, and are open to outside experts especially on a contingency model where fees are only paid if savings are found.
Top Problem Solved
Schooley Mitchell helps businesses tackle the common challenges of overpaying for services, wasted time, billing errors, and complex vendor relationships. Many companies don’t have the bandwidth or expertise to review contracts, spot mistakes, or negotiate better rates for telecom, shipping, utilities, software, and other recurring expenses. Without proper visibility or benchmarking, they miss opportunities to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Schooley Mitchell steps in to uncover these savings, manage vendors, and ensure businesses are only paying what they should thereby helping them keep more money in their bottom line.
My Ideal Referral Partner
My ideal referral partner is a trusted B2B professional such as an accountant, banker, business coach, IT provider, or industry consultant, who works closely with business owners and decision-makers. They have strong relationships, often hear about rising costs or budget concerns, and see value in offering solutions that help their clients save money without disrupting operations. They appreciate the no savings, no fee model, making referrals low-risk, and view the partnership as a way to enhance their service, strengthen relationships, and create win-win outcomes.
