Co-Founder, Planted Recovery LLC

Ross' strategic vision and board-level leadership was critical in helping grow Planted Recovery from a good idea to a fledgling company that had a working prototype and a strong business plan and marketing effort. Without his support & participation, the company would never have progressed beyond the "idea" phase.

A few years back, I was fortunate to travel through France and Spain with Ross where we shared countless meals and stories during the few weeks we spent together. Hearing his many experiences in sales and truly exceptional ability with the clients (my words, not his), I can honestly say Ross is, without question, the best sales executive I’ve ever met. Before long, I started sharing those stories in the sales training workshops I lead because of their power to inspire salespeople at all levels. In a recent session, I shared two different “Ross stories”, as they’ve come to be known. Later, one of the participants raised his hand and presented a challenging scenario. After a detailed description of the dilemma, the participant paused and said, “What I really want to know is: What would Ross do?”

I could write for hours about the many lessons I have learned from Ross and how he has made me a more effective sales trainer and coach, but the bottom line is this: If you are looking for a phenomenal sales leader and Ross is interested in your company, don’t hesitate. He’s amazing.

Direct, inspirational, personable and intelligent, Ross is the height of professionalism and a pleasure to work with. He is one of the few experts in the art and science of sales effectiveness. Ross has the depth to organize and lead others through complex product and procurement tasks and the breadth to bring people and organizations together. If you have a chance to see a Ross Parr presentation, take it. The most demanding audiences are drawn to Ross's preparation and attention to detail.

I reported to Ross during his tenure at Oracle and it gives me great pleasure to recommend him. He is a dedicated sales leader with a true understanding of what it takes to get large, complex deals closed. With his leadership, we closed multiple seven-figure deals that lead to a personal overachievement of 160% as well as a team overachievement. Ross’ style and attributes will continue to further my sales career for many years.
Ross is an asset that any organization would be lucky to have.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ross for several years. He is an excellent sales executive, a strong leader and a high performer. Ross creates trust among his colleagues, peers and with customers and gives his all to get a job done. He’s a guy you want on your team

I reported to Ross at MetaSolv and the team consistently exceeded quota while providing top notch service to our customers. Not only was Ross a solid leader, but he reinforced constant execution of the sales process. Even now, years after we worked together, I leverage the sales process he showed the team. Ross would be a great addition to any executive sales role in any industry.

If you want someone who can hire, grow and manage a hire-powered sales team Ross is your man. His ability to react to rapidly changing market conditions is remarkable. If changes need to be made, he'll make them, while doing all that he can to support those who are being impacted. He hires well, he manages well providing guidance, wisdom, and leadership.

If necessary Ross is ready and willing to lead from the front always willing to be a part of the sales process to further an opportunity. If you're looking for someone to rapidly grow a sales team, I cannot think of someone more qualified

Ross's ability to connect with the C-suite is unmatched. His composure, insight, experience and depth of knowledge quickly establish him as a trusted advisor and confidant. Whether you're looking for an individual contributor who will facilitate high end strategic opportunities or someone who can create/mange high end sales team hiring Ross is the smartest decision you will ever make.

We brought Ross in to manage the sales organization and saw a fundamental shift in the way we approached customers, the sales process, pricing, customer contracts and our fundamental sales processes. We now have a high-performing sales team with a track record of consistently meeting sales goals and customer expectations.
