When to request an intro
Request an intro only after you have reviewed the path and confirmed that the connector is credible, the evidence is recent enough, and the ask is specific. A strong request protects the connector’s trust as much as it helps you reach the target.What should carry into the request
The handoff should preserve:- the target person
- the recommended connector
- the reason the intro matters now
- enough context for the connector to decide quickly
Prefill expectations
- target person
- recommended connector
- reason the intro matters now
- enough context for the connector to decide quickly
- path evidence and mutual context
- response expectations when enough prior data exists
Composer checklist
Before sending, confirm:- the connector is the right person to ask
- the message is short enough to forward
- context is specific and relevant
- attachments are useful, not excessive
- the request gives the connector an easy way to decline
