Write Referral-Based Warm Introduction Email

Draft a warm intro email to a target prospect that authentically uses a mutual connection as the opening.

About this prompt

This prompt writes a warm introduction email that references a mutual connection naturally, establishes a genuine reason to connect, and keeps the ask low-pressure. It's for AEs working accounts where a referral exists but needs to be activated effectively. Use it when a mutual connection has agreed to be referenced but isn't making the introduction themselves.A referral that's handled clumsily wastes the social capital of the connection and puts the prospect on guard. This prompt writes an introduction that feels like it came from someone with a real relationship — not a name-drop for credibility. Fill in FILL IN PROSPECT NAME, FILL IN COMPANY, FILL IN MUTUAL CONNECTION NAME, and FILL IN with your product. The key to making this work is specificity: how does the mutual connection know the prospect, and what's the genuine relevance of your product to the prospect's current situation? Feed the prompt both of those details and the introduction will feel grounded rather than opportunistic. Use this prompt only when you have explicit permission from the mutual connection to reference them — cold-referencing a contact you've barely spoken to is a reputation risk. Unlike cold outreach, a warm intro should lead with the relationship context before any business reason to connect.
