Its principal had a 32-yeartrack record as a top sales performer for one of the country’s largest check printers. Since early 2015, more than 280 institutions have chosen Check Printing Contract Consulting to impartially negotiate their next check printing agreements. About 90% of its clients choose to stay with their current vendors. The check vendor funds CPCC’s full consulting fee as a portion of the negotiated savings.
