I have a confession. I signed up for Covve fully expecting to try it out and end up deciding that I don't really need it.
I was wrong! Covve is one of those apps that you don't realize you need until you have it and I'll explain why. I struggle in social situations. "Networking" and "small talk" are words that evoke a feeling of dread for me. I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than attend any event that contains "cocktail hour."
My surprising discovery with Covve is that the weekly insight email that Covve sends me with articles and news stories that are affecting people in my contact list provides me with interesting things to talk about when I run into anyone on my contact list. Even if I haven't had time to read the articles in full, I can still say "I saw a recent headline about such and such. Is this affecting you? Tell me more."
Boom! I don't struggle to find things to chat about anymore. It's a game changer for me and I now feel much more comfortable talking to other entrepreneurs like myself.
Thank you to Covve and to AppSumo!
