Stage 1

When someone says yes to an intro

A yes gets a thanks, three ways to make the introduction and a ready note for each, in one reply. Every offered intro is tracked until it's made.

Somebody just agreed to introduce you. The worst thing you can send back is a wall of text.

Stage 1 used to answer a yes with a long note and a full introduction for them to copy. It asked a favor of someone already doing you one.

Now the reply opens with two lines. Thanks, that means a lot. Whatever's easiest for you, email with me copied, a LinkedIn message to both of us, or a short note to forward. Your call.

Then it hands over all three, so they never have to ask. For email, your address and a short introduction they can send. For LinkedIn, a message they can paste into a thread with the three of you. For a forward, a note from you, signed with your email, written so it can go to the buyer untouched. They use the one that fits and ignore the rest.

Set the email once under Settings, Sending, and it goes in every email draft.

Every offered intro is tracked now. Intros offered has its own step on the path across the top. Each one stays on the Desk until it's made, and it's marked made the moment the buyer writes to you. If three days pass without an introduction, a one-line nudge is ready. No rush. If it's easier, I can send you a short note to forward.

Make saying yes easy, and they'll say yes again.
