A warm introduction is worth ten cold outreaches. Asking for one well makes it easy for your contact to say yes. Here's how to ask for an introduction.
Make it easy to say yes
Be specific about who and why: 'Would you be open to introducing me to X? I'd love to talk to them about Y.' Clarity lets your contact quickly judge whether they're comfortable.
Give them a forwardable note
Write a short blurb they can simply forward — who you are, why you'd like to connect, and what you're hoping for. Doing the work for them dramatically raises your odds.
