A simple, repeatable way to reach any buyer through someone they already trust — including the exact email templates to ask for, make, and follow up on an intro.
Book a Demo See warm-intro softwareTo get a warm introduction, identify the person you want to reach, find someone in your network who genuinely knows them, and ask that connector for an intro using a short, forwardable message that makes it easy to say yes. A warm introduction works because the request arrives through a trusted mutual connection rather than as cold outreach — so it gets opened, trusted, and answered far more often.
Warm introductions convert at roughly 3–5× the rate of cold outreach, because the first touch carries built-in trust from a mutual connection. The catch isn't whether they work — it's doing them consistently. Most people only ask for an intro when they happen to remember a connection, and leave the rest of their network untapped. The five steps below make it a repeatable habit.
Be specific — name the individual, not just the company, and be clear on why you want to talk to them. A precise ask is far easier for a connector to act on than "anyone at Acme."
Look across your whole network for someone who actually knows your target: colleagues, current and former customers, investors, advisers, and partners. The stronger the relationship between your connector and the target, the warmer (and more effective) the intro.
Send your connector a short note asking if they're open to making the intro — and let them check with the other side before connecting you. This "double opt-in" is the polite standard; never volunteer someone's contact details without consent.
Hand your connector a ready-to-send paragraph: who you are, why you're reaching out, the specific ask, and a clear reason it's worth the target's time. If they can forward it in one click, the intro actually happens.
When the intro lands, reply quickly, move your connector to bcc to spare their inbox, propose specific times, and thank your connector afterward. Closing the loop is what makes them happy to help again.
Three copy-paste templates that cover the whole flow. Swap the bracketed parts for your details.
Always let your connector check with the target before sharing contact details. It protects the relationship you're borrowing.
Vague asks die in the inbox. Give a clear reason and a paragraph they can forward as-is.
A few sentences. The easier you make it to say yes, the more intros you'll get.
Spread requests across your network and lead with value so connectors stay willing to help.
Send your connector a short, low-pressure note: name who you want to reach and why, ask if they're open to an intro, and include a forwardable blurb they can pass along in one click. Make it easy to say no, and always let them check with the other person first.
A double opt-in intro is when the connector checks with the target before making the introduction, so both sides agree to connect. It's the polite, widely expected standard and protects the connector's relationships.
Four things, kept short: who you are, why you're reaching out, the specific ask, and a clear reason it's worth the recipient's time. A good request is a single forwardable paragraph.
A few sentences. Short, specific requests get forwarded and answered; long ones get ignored. Aim for something your connector can send without editing.
Yes. Warm introductions typically convert at roughly 3–5× the rate of cold outreach, because the first touch arrives through a trusted mutual connection rather than as an unsolicited message.
