“What I really liked about working with Mike is that he lets the people he manages do their job. When I was working as a part of Mike’s team, he let me be the creative person and do my part and he did his part managing the project, rather than micromanage the team. I would gladly work again with Mike on any project.”

“I was fortunate to work for several years with Mike, when he served as Director of Marketing for HMY Yacht Sales. His creativity and upbeat attitude were positive influences on all who worked around him. Even his most innovative marketing projects seemed to come together easily, with Mike’s organizational skills. I follow his work on a daily basis because Mike is adept at providing clear, concise, relevant internet marketing and social media information that can benefit my business directly. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Mike on several charity events for many years. He works just as hard for these causes as he does in his business endeavors.”

“Mike has always been one of the sharpest marketing minds I have ever encountered. He sees opportunities where other people do not or cannot and capitalizes on them. He’s also one of the few people in the yachting business who understands social media. Any company in need of a new direction would be wise to hire him.”

“I had the great pleasure of working with Mike during his tenure at HMY Yacht Sales. Mike was always resourceful, creative and at the cutting edge of his profession. Together, we planned and successfully implemented many programs that no-one had ever tried before, to the mutual benefit of both of our companies. Mike’s continual insistance on finding new, creative, solutions to old problems was truly inspirational and led us both to the many successes we enjoyed. In the process, we also became good personal friends. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike for any position he feels he is qualified for.”

“I am on my third career; Director of Marketing for Hatteras Yacht, Director of Marketing for Digital Equipment corporation and now as Floridada Business Developement of Florida. I’ve worked with Mike Dickman as a client of mine and felt strongly enough about Mike’s marketing management to recommend that Mike be engaged as a client of Mike’s services. Mike is one or those rare people that are both highly creative and highly organized. In short, Mike Dickman is the best Director of Marketing that I’ve had the priviledge of working with in any industry and he’s easy to collaborate with.”
