Stage 1
Free warm intro audit

Five accounts in. Your three best ways in, out.

Pick the five companies you most want a meeting with. Stage 1 reads your LinkedIn network for the people who can introduce you, ranks every path and emails you the three best, each with a reason to ask this week. Nothing goes to anyone on your behalf.

Your five target accounts

Type a name and pick the exact company. "Progressive" is an insurer, a leasing firm and a magazine. The logo, city and size tell them apart.

Next you create a free account and connect your LinkedIn. That's how Stage 1 sees who you know. The audit lands in your inbox within the hour, and it comes with a 14 day trial, no card.

What you get

Three paths, each one ready to ask.

Who

The person who can introduce you

A former colleague of the buyer, someone at the account who knows you, or a shared connection. Stage 1 checks both work histories, so a path through a company you both left years ago still counts.

How strong

Ranked, not listed

A former teammate who worked beside the buyer for three years beats a mutual connection you met once. The three you get are the three most likely to say yes.

Why now

A reason to ask this week

Each path carries the latest signal at the account, a new leader, a filing, a hiring push. An intro request with a reason gets a faster yes.
