"This letter is to thank you and your staff for the outstanding
consulting services you have rendered Desjardins Federal Savings
Bank. Your ability to pinpoint cost saving areas for the Bank was
remarkable.
I would like to take this opportunity to recommend
'ERC' to other companies. The degree of professionalism, risk free
nature of services, and the ability to negotiate with vendors were
key elements."
Desjardins Federal Savings Bank

"We have been working closely with ERC and
have always received prompt professional service. ERC has been working
closely with our team here at U.S. Spares in effectively, efficiently
and of course successfully negotiating with our various vendors
in order to offer us a multitude of options and there after implement
long term savings plans."
US Spares, Inc.

"As you know, we are in the process of franchising
our retail concept and are constantly looking for ways to reduce
our overhead. The recommendations you made regarding our telecommunications,
were implemented perfectly and have resulted in a 40% savings."
Dans un Jardin Parfumeries

"Your work in relation to our monthly phone
usage has been excellent. Consistent with your dogged persistence
(this job in itself would have stopped most other persons), you
were able to conduct the analysis of all incoming lines and the
entire system and launch us on the road to savings. I would recommend
your services to any person that is lucky enough to receive this."
Oceanmark Bank

"Our calculations show that you have reduced
our repackaging costs by 34% for an annual savings of approximately
$27,000. This involved renegotiating better prices with our current
triple wall corrugated vendor along with helping us determine that
we could use 1,000 lb. versus 1,300 lb. board. In addition, we obtained
substantial savings by switching from our local lumber yard to a
major lumber distributor."
Clover Systems, Inc.

"As a company involved in international trade,
we need to communicate with our home office in Bogota, Colombia.
In the past, we have tried to set up our own communications package
using staff. One day ERC made a couple of suggestions which I tried
and was very pleased with the results. Their services enabled me
to free up my staff and resulted in a 13% savings on international
and domestic calls. What's best, it was all at no risk to my company.
My only regret is that I did not contact ERC sooner."
Delta Trading & Marketing LTD.

"Truthfully, after negotiating on our behalf
with ADP and achieving the reduction of $4,300 on our invoices last
year, none of us here at NABI thought we would be able to get any
more concessions in pricing. However, the $10,000 projected payroll
processing savings you secured for the current year demonstrates
unquestionably the value of your services and, because your work
is on a contingency basis, the result is a real win-win situation
for NABI."
NABI

"ERC has proven to be very knowledgeable and
aggressive in reducing costs."
Esprit Miami

"I think the best part of your service is
that I can't lose! You do all the investigating and behind the scenes
work, and I get some valuable information and spend less money."
Taylor & Pure Insurance Associates,
Inc.

"I would like to take the opportunity to thank
you personally for your hard work and persistence on behalf of National
Opinion Research Services. Your knowledge of leverage in negotiations
and familiarity with the telecommunications industry will literally
save us tens of thousands of dollars over the next few years on
our long distance and T1 loop charges."
National Opinion Research Services

"We purchase significant quantities of drugs
and supplies for our practices. You identified the highest volume
items, which account for the majority of expenses. You then negotiated
better pricing with our current vendor for an annual ongoing savings
of approximately 16%. In addition, you saved us 30% on our long
distance and significantly reduced our rates on credit card processing.
This savings will increase over the years as we add new clinics."
Aventura Animal Hospital

"We have been hearing great things about you
from the many clients and contacts that we have referred you to.
Whether they be large law firms, catalog companies or major child
care providers, they all say: "very professional, very efficient,
and produces great results."
Karpel & Company, PA. (CPA'S)

"We were pleased with the significant rate
reduction achieved and the risk free nature that the savings was
provided. Based on our experiences with Expense Reduction Consulting,
we intend to pass your risk-free service on to our clients with
the hopes of obtaining similar benefits."
Daskal, Bolton & Manela (CPA's)

"In addition to renegotiating better long
distance rates with our current carrier AT&T, you managed the
network changes that were required in order to change from One Line
Wats to Uniplan. The network changes went smoothly and the savings
have been significant. I appreciate the professionalism you have
displayed through out the negotiations and implementation and with
the follow up you have provided my staff."
World Flowers Inc.

"In addition to negotiating lower rates with
our current carrier for a savings of approximately 45%, you reduced
our fixed charges by hundreds of dollars per month by having the
carrier waive the fixed charges completely. You were correct in
determining that we were being charged for equipment that had been
returned previously and that we were also being charged incorrectly
on a per minute basis."
First Miami Securities

"I could not find the time to research which
telephone companies were right for me. When you took charge of helping
me make those decisions, I was enormously relieved. Thank you for
your guidance and the good savings we are now enjoying."
Abatement, Property Tax Assessment Consultants

"According to our calculations, you have saved
us 10% on our office supplies while remaining with our current vendor.
Approximately 20% on our intralata calling and 32% on our long distance.
Most importantly, you advised us to switch from trunk lines to regular
business lines which has resulted in a $278/month savings."
Center Finance Corporation

"Once again, you have made tremendous strides
in reducing our expenditures. Our telecommunications/data network
is quite complicated due to our numerous locations, ESSX and ISDN
service and T1. The new contract that you have just negotiated for
us, results in an annual savings of approximately $65,000. As you
might expect, the net rates are extremely low.

Continental Farms

"Through your efforts, we are saving thousands
of dollars per month in the areas of telecommunications, bottled
water, cellular service, office and program supplies and food. In
addition to savings, we appreciate the way you have set up programs
and controls that will help us manage these categories more effectively
in the future. We particularly recommend your services to any nonprofit
organization."
Redlands Christian Migrant Association

"Thank you for the work you have done for
us over the past 12 months. You had stated that you would produce
savings and you did. You were able to keep us with our current carrier
but reduce our inbound 800 rate by approximately 20%."
Office Connection

"We have been very satisfied with our relationship
with Expense Reduction Consulting. They have treated all our employees
with professionalism and courtesy in addition to delivering the
savings they promised us."
Young, Stovall & Company

"Expense Reduction Consulting have been very
useful in assisting us to reduce our long distance telephone costs,
as well as our payroll processing fees. ERC is knowledgeable about
cost containment issues. They have demonstrated dedication in locating
areas where costs and expenditures can be cut, and we look forward
to working with them again in the future."
Adorno & Zeder, P.A.

"Through his expertise in this field, he was
effective in negotiating further reductions in our rates (long distance)
which have resulted in an annual savings of over $14,000 to the
bank. Mr. Ronder proved himself to be a competent and professional
individual. He worked strictly on a contingency basis and the final
fee was determined on actual hard dollar savings. Accordingly, we
are pleased to serve as a reference for Mr. Ronder and recommend
his services for this type of engagement."
Ocean Bank

"BTI Americas, Inc. thanks you for your efforts
in assisting us in reducing our monthly BellSouth charges. As you
know, the margins in the travel industry are being squeezed on a
daily basis. Anything we can do to reduce our overhead while providing
the same quality service to our clients is a big plus! Your contingency
fee structure made our relationship risk free. As a result, we recommend
your services to any company, whether they feel that their expenses
are under control or not."
BTI Americas

"This letter is long overdue to officially
thank you for the useful services you have provided. Telecommunications
is one of the largest expenses for a travel agency. I am happy to
say that with your help, we have achieved an annual savings of $10,180
with a new local service provider. We have also realized approximately
$2,000 of annual savings with a new office supply vendor that you
recommended. When we decided to purchase a new phone system, your
negotiations on our behalf netted a significant savings in the contract.
If companies and employees are constantly busy with their daily
responsibilities, it seems almost impossible to find the time to
stop and analyze the way you are doing business and the vendors
you are using. Not only the time saving benefits that a consultant
can provide, but also the "set of fresh eyes" can give
you options you might have never thought of."
Atlas Travel Management Company

"As you know, the apparel business is very
competitive and anything we can do to minimize our overhead is a
plus. After meeting with a number of our top managers you were quick
to negotiate an annual ongoing savings of approximately $9,500.
These savings were generated in the areas of printing, telecommunications,
insurance and payroll services. In addition, you had us retrofit
our lighting fixtures in our offices and manufacturing area. This
resulted in significant savings and a payback of less than 2 years.
I would highly recommend your services to any company that is concerned
about reducing overhead."
The Sanibel Company

"By negotiating a new contract with LDDS we
will be saving approximately $8,760 annually. Also, we have noticed
significant savings in our Employee Leasing. We would highly recommend
ERC to any company seeking to reduce their overhead."
U. S. Floral

"You performed these services professionally,
reviewing the costs involved with these services without utilizing
very much of our internal staff's time. Your communication to me
of our options and the cost savings was both timely and clear. Even
after the new rates went into effect, you followed up to insure
that the outside suppliers were billing the correct rates. If a
problem existed, you followed up with the supplier saving myself
the time and effort that it normally would have taken. With our
communications provider you were able to negotiate rates that will
save the company in excess of $100,000 per year. You also were able
to reduce our costs with our payroll processor."
Discovery Cruise Line

"As our expense reduction consulting agreement
comes to an end, I would like to say thank you for your efforts
to reduce my long distance phone expenditures. It was comforting
to work with an organization that allowed both parties to succeed
via your contingency arrangement. Your professionalism was also
comforting, knowing that you would represent my company in an upstanding
way. Furthermore, the important time you spent on this particular
project allowed me to focus on other pressing business priorities
and, I appreciate your clear and concise follow-up reporting.
Based on our entire relationship...... I would
not hesitate to recommend your services as an option to explore
cost containment and expense reduction ideas.
Concrete Reinforcing Products

"As a new employee of Related Group of Florida,
I was looking to make a good name for myself within the company.
One of the various projects given to me as Director of MIS was the
Telecommunication audit. My regular job duties left little time
for this critical project. I needed an assistant but it was not
in the budget. This is when I discovered Expense Reduction Consulting,
Inc.
Victor Ronder, the owner of ERC, came to my office
and proposed a solution to my situation. His efforts netted my company
a huge credit from the phone companies. This was like found money,
and ERC did not cost the company any additional funds.
Due to ERC's efforts, I was able to look like a
hero in my company. I would definitely recommend the use of their
services."
