Testimonials
Black’s Guide
“Although I was 1,000 miles away I could count on Rosemary to bring in her publications on time and within budget.
Rosemary is a self starter, always meets deadlines while maintaining exceptional customer service.” John McCann,
General Manager
“Rosemary was organized, deadline oriented and respectful of the time and skills of our production team. She routinely
met or exceeded her sales budgets. Our general manager once commented that he “wished he had a whole team of
Rosemarys.” I couldn’t have agreed more.” Della Vache, Production and Research Director
Tampa Bay Business Journal
“Rosemary was one of our most successful ad consultants ever and it was down to her dedication to her clients and her
product. She knew the industry and she knew the players. I would hire again in a heartbeat!”
“Rosemary Bidwell was ranked 10th in the country for the month of September and 25th for the year to date. To my
knowledge we have never had a salesperson in the top 10 and I certainly can’t recall Tampa ranking as high as 25
overall. Congratulations Rosemary, you are an example to us all.” Arthur Porter, Publisher
“While she was at TBBJ, she was employee of the year in 2004 and 2006 and in 2005 she made Chairman’s Club
which is the highest national honor given within the organization. A rep needed to be 10% over projected goals
and rank in the top 3 in revenue dollars amongst similar markets nationally. Rosemary excelled every year during
my tenure.”
Kelly McKenna, Advertising Director/Sales Manager
First Industrial Realty Trust
“Rosemary’s great skills in selling, broker relations, follow through, and market knowledge contributed to her
success in the tough real estate environment. I would highly recommend her to any employer and would be happy to
re-hire her myself if a position became available.”
Robert Krueger, Regional Director
Maddux Report
“Rosemary stepped into Tampa’s Westshore – one of our major markets – and grew it quite nicely over the five years with
us. Commercial real estate was one of our cornerstone categories, and she became a rock star not only with us but
with her subsequent employers as well. When Rosemary came to work with us, she was selling a very tangible
product – office furniture. Advertising is an intangible product/service. I have seen very few persons make this kind of
transition. As a matter of fact, Rosemary was the best of anyone I encountered in the 26 years we published.
Carlen Maddux, Editor and President
“After Rosemary moved on to another company I was promoted to Associate Publisher and then in 1999 to Publisher. I
can honestly say that no matter how hard we looked, we were unable to find another sales person that could fill
Rosemary's shoes.”
Nancy Howe, Publisher
