Structure
The ask (1 sentence). Who you want, why, what you offer.
The blurb (3-4 sentences). Forwardable copy the connector can paste verbatim.
The out. Make declining easy.
Example
Illustrative example. The companies, names and numbers are fictional.
Hi Anna,
Could you intro me to Jordan at Northwind? I'd like to compare notes on onboarding patterns. Different verticals, but a similar growth stage.
Forwardable: "Alex runs Acme, a meeting-notes tool for small teams. They are about where Northwind was two years ago. Alex wants 20 minutes to compare notes. No pitch, no ask. Worth your time IMO."
If Jordan is heads-down or not the right fit right now, totally fine to skip.
Alex
Why it works
The ask sentence is specific. The blurb is forwardable verbatim, which saves Anna 5 minutes. The out gives her permission to pass without guilt. Three signals that you respect her time.
