How to write a great email of introduction
- Ask permission first. A "double opt-in" intro — checking with both people before you connect them — is the polite standard and gets far better responses.
- Address both people by name. Open with "Hi [Name] and [Name]" so it reads as a mutual introduction, not a cold email.
- Say why now. One sentence on the reason you're connecting them is the difference between a pleasant note and an intro that starts a real conversation.
- Give each person a one-line credibility intro. A quick "what they do" plus one impressive specific helps each side see the value immediately.
- Name the common ground. Shared employers, schools, cities, or interests make the connection feel natural rather than random.
- Keep it short and hand it off. Stay under 150 words, then step back: "I'll let you two take it from here."
Good news — this tool does all of it for you. Drop two LinkedIn profiles up top and you'll get their common ground plus three ready-to-send email of introduction drafts. That's it.
