Are You Ready for the Intro?

05.14.2013 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

IMG_3486I met someone last week through an introduction of a mutual friend. It was a great meeting, this guy is getting his company started and looking for a couple of test cases to get started, which is great, my clients can occasionally be fantastic guinea pigs!
As we met, a few people came to mind for him to connect with. He had very prompt follow up (in my inbox by the next morning!) and when I replied I sent him links to the people I think would be good for him to meet. Instead of saying I’d do the intro automatically, I said “let me know when you’re ready for the intro,” and he asked to wait. Which is GREAT!
Right now there are 2 people in my CRM that I was introduced to by a mutual connection and said they wanted to connect, but we have yet to schedule a time.
It’s OK if you’re busy or aren’t ready to talk yet, just say so. When someone sends me an introduction I try to follow up with a quick thank you to them, and maybe more if it turns into a client. I always send a thank you email right after the intro email, but I appreciate the follow through of “that was a great connection thanks.” If you aren’t ready for the intro, it’s OK, just say so!
