Ask a Mutual Connection for a Warm Introduction

Generate a referral request message that makes it easy for a mutual connection to introduce you to a target prospect.

About this prompt

This prompt helps AEs and SDRs ask a mutual contact to broker an introduction without creating friction for the introducer. Use it when you have a warm path into a target account and want to maximize the conversion rate of that introduction.A poorly framed referral request puts the burden on the mutual connection to figure out what to say — which means most of them never send it. This prompt builds a message to the MUTUAL CONNECTION that explains the introduction concisely, makes it easy to say yes, and includes a ready-to-use introduction they can forward directly to the TARGET PROSPECT at COMPANY. Fill in all three parties' names, the COMPANY, and your PRODUCT description. The output handles the awkward middle part — justifying why this is worth their social capital — without making it sound transactional. Use this for genuine warm introductions through a mutual contact; for LinkedIn connection requests without a prior relationship, use the connection note prompt instead. Tip: send the referral request in a channel you already use with the mutual contact — LinkedIn message, text, or email — rather than opening a new channel just to ask the favor.
