Ask Patty gets an "O"vation

A quick congrats to gal pal Jody Devere for getting an article into "O" magazine this month. I'll have to go out and pick up a copy this weekend, the winter tips will help me as I head back to Michigan for Christmas.

How did she do it? By just being Jody and working hard at making Ask Pattya meaningful site for women and car dealers who want to do a better job serving us. She didn't pitch Oprah or her media crew in fact it was quite the opposite, they found Jody online.

I had called Jody to thank her for listing In Women We Trust on her top 10 Women Empowerment blogs list (kisses!) when she gave me the news.   

Since I'm heading back to motor mecca, I had to ask how things were going in her auto world. She reported that times are tough for car dealers as a species, they went from 21,000+ to 19,000 ish this past year, but she's making sure that the surviving dealers know that those who put their time into serving women better will come out of the recession ok.

I can echo that. Listen up dealers, soft skills are just as important as quoting MPG stats.

Congratulations Jody - I hope you become a regular feature.
