HOW TO GET AN INTRODUCTION FOR NETWORKING
TELL THEM I WILL BE CALLING
Business Telephone Etiquette requires you offer your name. And isn’t it wonderul when you are put right through? Want to make certain that happens every time? Get an introduction.
Often the key to getting an introduction is to write one and send it to the person who will make the introduction. That saves the person the concern over what to say and increase the probablility the introduction will happen. Be sure to include your brand or elevator pitch.
Example:
Hi Rita,
How are things going at Code-til-you-drop? My job search has been moving along nicely; my networking activities are keeping the pipeline full. In that vein, I wonder if you would introduce me to Hank Putrid? He has an opening for a CFO and I’d like to be considered. I do believe my track record as a CFO who has recently brought a company public with minimal disruption to the day-to-day operations will be a good fit for his opening.
Thank you for your help and continued encouragement in my search.
