Request a Warm Intro and Write a Mutual Connection Fallback

Generate an intro request email to a mutual connection and a warm-reference cold email fallback if the intro doesn't

About this prompt

This prompt produces two emails: a concise intro request to a mutual connection that's easy to forward, and a cold email fallback to the prospect that references the mutual connection without requiring a formal introduction. It's for AEs and SDRs who want to use a LinkedIn mutual connection to warm up an outreach but aren't certain the intro will happen. Use it when you've identified a shared connection and want to move on both tracks in parallel.Waiting on a mutual connection to send an intro that never comes is one of the most common ways a warm-path outreach stalls. This prompt generates both pieces of the play in one run: an intro request email to [MUTUAL CONNECTION] that's under 80 words, easy to forward, and offers to draft the intro message for them, plus a direct cold email fallback to [PROSPECT NAME] that references the mutual connection naturally without requiring the formal intro to have taken place. Provide [LIST FROM LINKEDIN] with the names of your shared connections so the prompt can assess which one is most likely trusted by the prospect based on their professional relationship. The fallback cold email is under 100 words and treats the mutual connection as a natural credibility bridge rather than a forced name drop. This prompt is for AEs and SDRs running targeted outbound to named accounts, not for high-volume prospecting sequences where the personalization overhead isn't justified.
