When Jim Schartman first stated how much savings we could realize after re-negotiating our check printing contract I thought he was out of his mind! With no financial risk to us, we had Jim re-negotiate our check vendor contract. It was absolutely amazing how much cash and savings Jim was able to get us with our new contract. I do not believe that we would have been able to achieve anywhere near the amount of savings he delivered. I would HIGHLY recommend Jim Schartman to any bank that is in need of re-negotiating their check printing contract.

When we last negotiated our check printing contract, we felt confident that our vendor was really looking out for our best interests and gave us the best deal he could. Then I was introduced to Greg Baitt by a colleague. Greg was very easy to work with. I was skeptical after our initial discussions, so when Greg came back with his proposal with what he could save us we were amazed. Greg was professional from start to finish, very knowledgeable of our check printing vendor, respectful of our time and was a great partner to work with. I would highly recommend working with CPCC and look forward to a continued partnership.

I had the opportunity to work with Jim Schartman on our check printing contract negotiations as well as seeking his advice on some acquisitions. I was very impressed with his overall knowledge of the check printing business. Jim approached the engagement with a great level of care and partnership. Having access to a subject matter expert of Jim’s caliber provided significant value for our company that simply could not have been achieved without his support and experience. Even after his consulting fee, I am convinced our bank secured a much better financial package due to his involvement.

I was STUNNED at the amount of cash and savings that CPCC negotiated on our behalf – Greg even exceeded his initial projection. I was extremely impressed with everything CPCC did. Their almost 40 years of check printing knowledge made all the difference in the world. I can’t imagine us being able to secure anywhere close to the amount of savings they delivered, even after their consulting fee. I would strongly recommend Greg Baitt to any financial institution that is considering using his services. It was the best decision we ever made!

We had little to no check printing program strategy before we met Jim. Now, since we have started working with Jim, we are much more proactive at how we look at our check printing contract and the impact it is having to our bottom line. This is all because of the work we have done with Jim. Our credit union will be saving more than $500,000 in check printing costs over 5 years. Jim only gets paid when the credit union saves money. It's a win-win to partner with Jim.

It has been a pleasure to partner with Greg Baitt and CPCC. They came highly-recommended from respected peer institutions, and the recommendations were absolutely accurate. Their extensive knowledge in check printing helped us negotiate a far better price than we could have ever accomplished on our own. We are extremely pleased with their partnership in this project and would highly recommend the services provided by Greg and CPCC!

Jim Schartman's vast knowledge of check printing was obvious, and his assistance in helping our bank negotiate our check printing contract renewal was invaluable. His detailed contract knowledge led to an enormous savings for our bank that we never would have received on our own. I wish we had an impartial, third party expert like Jim for all of our large vendor contracts!
