    [Person 2], I loved the copywriting I’ve seen from you. A little humor would be great for this client.

    Let me know what you both think - it’d be great for ___ (conference name) alumni to come together for this. (Plus the $’s not bad either) Looking forward to hearing back from you!

    Speak soon.

    Full List Introduction Templates:

     

    Reasons to introduce people, and some helpful lines:

    • “You two should meet and discuss community”
    • “You two should connect on Bob’s Podcast”
    • “You two should chat about that new SaaS tool you were each raving about”
    • “You two should meet because you both love Copywriting”
    • “You two should connect since you both live in Portland”
    • “You two should chat over coffee since you will both be at the X Conference next week”
    • “Wanted to loop in Brian because he was just mentioning that he was interested in exploring X service. And that’s exactly what Suzanne (cc’ed) just reached out to me about”
    • “You two could form a great partnership since you are both in X industry”
    • “Adding Jeremy to this email. His area of expertise is X and I think he would love to hear more about your offer”
    • “You two should hop on a quick zoom call to see if you could refer some leads to each other”
     

    How to introduce Do’s:

    • Keep it super short and sweet.
    • Mention why you think they should meet.
    • Include what they could talk about.
    • Compliment each of them.
    • Be willing to join them on the first call/meet up if they want.
    • Show that you have done your homework on both of them.
    • Point out each person’s area of expertise.
    • Include their LinkedIn profile for additional context.
    • Call out a recent big win for one of the people you are introducing to peak the other person’s interest.
    • Give them an easy out if they are too busy.
     

    How to introduce Don’ts:

    • Decide that they have to work together. Let them make that decision after the meeting.
    • Schedule the actual call for them. They may not be ready to talk immediately.
    • Provide a full blueprint of the exact conversation they should have. Some conversations can go down a completely different path than you expected.
    • Guilt them into having a conversation if one of them isn’t interested.
    • Include all of their contact info. Let them share private contact info if they want to.
    • Make an intro just because you are doing someone a favor. Make sure it actually makes sense for them to connect.
    • Randomly introduce two people you don’t even know. Don’t act like you are doing them a favor if they don’t even know you.
    • Guarantee that they will hit it off. You don’t always know people as well as you think you do.
    • Force them to meet in person. Some people are much more comfortable emailing first.
    • Tell them they would hit it off just because they share one thing in common. Dig a little deeper to see if they have any personal similar interests.
    • Just give someone an email address and tell them to reach out. Help make a warm intro.
