# Warm Introduction Request Draft

Prepare a relevant introduction request that lets a mutual contact check interest first, without implying endorsement or sharing private details.

## Task

Ask a mutual contact to consider an introduction while preserving an easy choice to decline.

## When to use

Use this when there is a real relationship and a specific task-based reason an introduction might help. Let the intermediary decide whether it is appropriate and check the other person’s interest first.

## Choose another approach when

You plan to imply an endorsement, pressure a contact, expose private account details, or treat an introduction as permission for a mailing campaign.

## Inputs

- The real relationship with the intermediary and why the task fits.
- A truthful short product description and current availability.
- A low-effort voluntary next step, with no private information needed to explain it.

## Template

    Subject: Would an introduction about [task] be appropriate?
    Hi [name],
    I’m working on [accurate product/availability statement]. You mentioned [permission-appropriate context about the task].
    If you think it could be relevant, would you be comfortable checking whether [person or role] wants an introduction? It is completely fine if this is not a fit.
    Forwardable context, only if useful:
    “[Founder] is exploring [task] with [actual available offer]. They would welcome a short conversation about whether that scope fits your needs. There is no commitment to try or buy.”
    Please do not share private details. I will wait for a mutually welcome introduction.
    [Name]

## Illustrative example

This is not a Crany customer result. Replace example details with verified facts.

    Fictional founder asks a former colleague whether a studio owner might want to discuss a client-handoff organizer. The draft describes a limited pilot rather than a public launch and asks the colleague to check interest.
    It does not say “you recommended us” or add the studio owner’s address to an audience. If the colleague declines or the owner is uninterested, the request ends.
    This is example copy for review, not a message sent to anyone or a claim that an introduction occurred.

## How to use

1. Confirm the relationship and the genuine task-based reason for the request.
2. Adapt the draft with accurate availability and a simple voluntary next step.
3. Have the human sender review the context and wait for an appropriate introduction before any follow-up.

## Checks

- The intermediary is free to decline without explaining.
- The wording does not manufacture endorsement or prior interest.
- Contact details and private facts are not passed around automatically.

## What to measure

Record requested, mutually welcomed and completed introductions separately. A forwarded note is not a qualified opportunity, marketing subscription or customer acquisition.

## Research and sources
