In 2004 Robert MacDonald, grandson of the founder of ROI Corporation, Roy Brown, began an anticipated long term association with ROI Corporation.
From his boyhood beginnings in the photocopy room, Robert has worked and gained experience in every facet of the company. After graduating with a Political Science degree from Brock University, Robert found his niche in dental practice sales for ROI Corporation.
Marketing, Sales, and Negotiation are his areas of expertise and he sums up his position as “My goal is to get the best result for my client.”
Robert has lectured for the University of Western and University of Toronto. He has also given seminars in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario and internationally in the Bahamas.
In his spare time he enjoys staying active with running, squash, sailing, badminton, rugby, and his mainstay, hockey. My large and extended family is a major part of my life and most of my best times have been with them.
“Honesty and Integrity are two values my Grandpa instilled in me at a young age and remain today the two most important values in the business he founded just under five decades ago.”
Robert is licensed under The Real Estate and Business Brokerage Act and continually upgrades his knowledge base by attending many dental seminars and conventions. He also voluntarily completed the Ethics and Business Practice course from the Real Estate Institute of Canada.
