“I hired Parry, Murphy and Associates in October, 2008 to aid us in negotiating cost reductions with certain vendors. Many of those vendors had been approached previously or had already granted concessions, so my expectations were relatively low.
Michael Parry met with our representatives to understand the unique attributes of each vendor relationship. He worked closely with our team to devise negotiating strategies that were sensitive to our concerns and preserved good relationships with our suppliers.
Our results were well beyond expectations and generated material cost savings. In fact, we realized favorable outcomes on over 80% of the vendors that he addressed.
I recommend Michael’s services – the results exceeded our internal efforts and speak for themselves. I encourage any prospective client to call me for a deeper discussion of these services and our results.”
Name of client will be disclosed during the due dilligence process.

“We engaged Mike Parry in 2009 to assist us in additional cost reduction and expense control efforts. We hired Mike after we had spent two solid years of our own very careful and deliberate cost containment planning. Frankly, we believed we had tightened things down well.
Because of the broad experience base and the deliberate process Mike brings to an organization, we were able to identify very material opportunities for cost containment beyond our own plans. Mike's skill and process yielded very good results for us.
Mike, stated simply, gets results. He delivered a positive impact on our bottom line quickly.
An additional benefit of working with Mike is that he teaches the process and negotiating skills to the staff he works with, which aids in their development and skill building.”
