An introduction asks someone to spend attention on a person they do not yet know. The strongest request makes that decision easier. It explains the relevance, respects the recipient’s time and asks for a specific next step.
Before asking a contact to introduce you, do the work that will let them make the introduction confidently.
Make the context easy to forward
Write a short note that says what you do, why this particular person is relevant and what you hope to learn or discuss. Include a profile or company link with enough detail to make your background understandable.
Keep the request narrow. Asking for a short conversation about a specific distribution challenge is easier to evaluate than asking someone to “explore synergies” or help with everything your business needs.
Ask both sides before connecting them
A double opt-in introduction gives each person the chance to accept privately. Let the intermediary check interest before sharing contact details or starting a group message. Make it easy for someone to say that the timing or subject is not right.
Follow through without creating an obligation
Once introduced, acknowledge the context, offer a clear next step and keep scheduling simple. If there is no response, one considerate follow-up is usually more useful than a sequence of increasingly urgent messages.
Thank the person who connected you. When appropriate, let them know whether the conversation was useful without forwarding private details. A good introduction should strengthen trust even when it does not lead to a deal.
Give your next introduction some context.
