Watch on YouTube. Covve’s customer success lead Chris delivers “Power up your contacts”, a series of practical and to the point webinars on helping business professionals capitalise on their contact network effectively.

Covvie relies on cold contacts…

For those of you not aware of it, Product Hunt is a website that features the world’s coolest new software products every day. It has tons of followers and being featured on PH can mean massive exposure in a period of just 24 hours. It’s also a tech team’s worst nightmare.

Episode 1: Covvie merges his contact books …

 “If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late” (Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn founder) A classic quote but one I never really sympathized with. The first version of Covve, launched summer 2014, was awesome. Today’s Covve has evolved even more, since then, and finally delivers the vision.

I come from a ‘railed’ background: I grew up comfortably, went to a good school, received good university education, secured a well-paid job, moved to a more challenging and rewarding job and then another and then… I QUIT – and let me tell you, I have never been happier.

People have long talked about the death of the business card and yet the paper ornament lives on. Andrew Hill, in his recent article in the FT, persuasively debates that it will continue to exist. He also suggests an end to the contacts book. I beg to disagree.
