Introduction Request (Specific Person + Specific Reason + Forwardable Blurb)
A practical intro-request template that removes friction by naming one target, one reason, and a copy-paste blurb.
Formula
- Specific person
- Specific reason
- Forwardable blurb
Ask Template
Hi [Name],
Would you be willing to introduce me to [specific person/title]?
Reason: [concrete reason they’d want to talk now].
To make this easy, here’s a short blurb you can forward: [2-3 sentence blurb]
Thanks either way, [Your Name]
Real Forwardable Example from Source
“Hey Sarah — I want to introduce you to a colleague of mine, [your name]. He spent a decade running editorial strategy at [relevant company] and just launched a consultancy focused on exactly the kind of content scaling you’ve been working on. Thought it might be worth a quick conversation.”
When to Use This Template
- You need a warm intro to one specific stakeholder
- A contact is open to helping but busy
- You want to avoid vague “anyone at X?” asks
✨ Personalization Tips
- Request one named person or at minimum a specific title
- State the concrete reason the intro is relevant now
- Include a forwardable blurb they can send without rewriting
- Keep intro ask to one action, not a list of asks
