We analyze our client’s expenses across several cost categories to determine whether they are overspending, and if cost-saving solutions can be found. Once we present our findings, if the client chooses to move forward with implementation, we remain as a single point of contact for ongoing monitoring, analysis, and support.
Our independent and objective recommendations are based solely on the client’s best interests. Consultants receive no kickbacks, residuals, or incentives from providers.
Schooley Mitchell’s only fees are self-funded from the savings generated. If savings aren’t found, our clients don’t pay – a truly risk-free and mutually beneficial model.

The Basics of BarterPay
Click here to visit Barter Pay's Website
Most businesses never operate at 100% capacity. As a business owner, you know the costs of downtime and idle inventory. But, when you take an even deeper look, the amount of potential value that escapes is alarming.
For service-based businesses, this means a tremendous amount of time and space expires— literally to zero value. You can’t go back to yesterday and get the value of an unsold hotel room, empty ad space, or an unbilled hour.
For product-based businesses, this means idle inventory sitting on the shelves or in the warehouse that, often, ends up deeply discounted or even discarded. This costs money and completely erodes your profit margin and trains your customers to ‘wait for the big sale’.
