A few years ago, my good friend Abbie Fink pulled me aside at Counselors Academy and said, “You need to go out to the vendor area and meet Aly Saxe. I have a feeling you’ll really like her.”
But, being the introvert that I am and having a really hard time just walking up to a stranger to introduce myself, I procrastinated until I … was … running … late … for … my … flight.
Then I flew through the vendor area like a hurricane, introduced myself, and said I was sorry I didn’t have more time; I needed to get to my flight.
I did, however, promise to follow-up with her, and I made good on my promise.
Boy, am I glad I did!
And boy, was Abbie right!
I LOVE Aly Saxe.
For those of you who don’t know, Aly is the founder of Iris PR, which I’ve touted for a couple of years now (check it out!).
She isn’t just the founder of the best media relations tracking and measurement software available (check it out!), she is a former agency owner so she gets us.
She really gets us!
Plus, she’s my type of girl: She’s smart, she’s sarcastic, she’s witty, and she’s hilarious.
The Spin Sucks Inquisition
Aly and I had a fun chat and explored the normal questions.
Although, I think I skipped a question or two because we were busy talking about measurement and vanity metrics and all the things that matter to a PR professional.
We also may have gotten sidetracked a time or two…I think I apologize to you, the viewers, at least three times during it.
But it’s super fun so check it out!
