After spending over 20 years in sales and marketing for three different construction manufacturers, enduring three layoffs, and then in 2008 experiencing the start of the Great Recession (or whatever it’s been tagged) Brian decided to work for himself. He found a company called Schooley Mitchell. They are the largest independent cost reduction consulting firm in North America having over 130 offices, with each office independently owned and operated.
Schooley Mitchell tags itself as "Your Vendor Watchdog". They have a proud record of saving 20,000 clients over $340 million nationwide. For decades, Schooley Mitchell and its consultants have navigated the complexities of a few key expense categories: Telecommunication, merchant services, small package shipping and recently adding waste expense management.
They offer a comprehensive review of clients’ existing vendors and prices within the marketplace to ensure them the best possible services at the best possible rates. Since they are completely independent from all vendors they provide their clients an objective analysis. Their fees are self-funded from the savings they generate for their clients so if they do not find their client any savings there is no charge for their services. Yet 90% of the time they find their clients savings.
"I’m happy to say I found SAHBA significant savings on their credit card processing fees while they stayed with their current vendor. I offer those services to any business or organization that would like to see if they can save money on their expenses".
