Hot Stuff: Meet Chrysler’s Detroit Show Floor Presenter

I don’t mean to be superficial or anything, but here’s a gal that could make my motor running on any given cold winter night. Who is she do I hear you ask? Well, her name is Rosemary Vivian-Sturr and she’s one of the floor presenters that you might see at the Chrysler Detroit Show stand in January. Vivian-Sturr talked about her job at Chrysler’s Firehouse blog. Among other things, Vivian-Sturr said, “Seventeen days wearing heels? No problem. It's in my blood. I love it.” What else more can a man ask?

Here’s what Rosemary Vivian-Sturr had to say about her job: “In 1989, to audition to be an auto show product specialist, it was 'read your half-page of script and we'll call you in two weeks.'Now it's more like a job interview. You really have to know your stuff,” she said. -Continued after the jump

“It has evolved into week long training sessions, going to different command centers, different headquarters, ride and drives, on-site training. It’s given us an opportunity to really get to know our product, because customers nowadays are very educated. They know what they're looking for in a vehicle, and it's up to us to give them that information around the country, in the auto show market.”

It's easy to forget that there's a flip side to the glitz and glamour of being an auto show product specialist. The reality can be sore feet after 14-hour days on the show floor

“I think to be in this business, you have to have a very upbeat, optimistic attitude, which I have always had,” Vivian-Sturr said. “I constantly strive to bring that positive attitude. So, if I'm working a two-day show or a 10-day show or a 26-day show, I'm thankful to have that job and blessed to be working, whether it's in New York or at a state fair. Seventeen days wearing heels? No problem. It's in my blood. I love it."
