Template: asking a connection for an introduction
An introduction request works when it is easy to say yes to: name the person, say why in one sentence, and give your connection a short note they can forward. Make it just as easy to say no. Below are the ask, a forwardable blurb and a thank you.

The text
Hi [first name], I see you know [target name] at [Company]. Would you be comfortable introducing us? I would like to ask her about [specific topic], because [one sentence reason]. No problem at all if not.
[Your name] runs [what you do] for [type of company]. She would like 15 minutes with you about [topic], because [reason that matters to the target]. Happy to connect you if useful.
Thanks for the introduction, [first name]. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
Why each line is there
| Line | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Name the person | A vague ask to meet people at a company is hard to act on. |
| One sentence reason | Your connection needs to know why it is worth their name. |
| A blurb to forward | Saves them writing and keeps the message accurate. |
| Easy no | Protects the relationship whatever they decide. |
| The thank you | Closes the loop, which makes the next request easier. |
What it measured
No data yet. Sellinger has not measured results for this exact text, so this page makes no claim about replies, meetings or revenue. Measured campaigns are in the case studies.
When not to use it
- When you barely know the connection.
- When you would ask for introductions to many people at once.
- When the reason is only that you want to sell; give the target a reason to want the meeting.
How to use it in Sellinger
Introduction requests are personal and usually best written by you. Leave it to the agent, which writes each message from the lead's own data and your persona, or paste this text into a step in Flow-Maker in the campaign's configuration drawer. The step's instruction box personalises a pasted message with the lead's data, so read the first sends before you widen the campaign.
