When someone introduces you

Reply within a day. Move the person who introduced you to Bcc so they don’t receive the rest of the conversation, and say you’ve done so.

Re: Introduction: Ana ↔ Tom Thanks, Priya (moving you to Bcc). Hi Tom, great to meet you. Priya mentioned you’re rolling out route planning at Northline. I’d love to hear how it’s going. Would 20 minutes on Thursday or Friday afternoon work? Best, Ana

One introduction, three tones

Formalto a new client’s director“Dear Ms Laine, I am the account manager who will look after Fieldnote’s project from 1 March. I would welcome a short call next week to confirm your priorities.”

Neutralto a new team“Hi all, I’m Sam, joining as Data Analyst on Monday. I’ll be working on the retention dashboards, so do come and say hello if you use them.”

Warmto a colleague in another office“Hi Priya! I’m Sam, the new analyst in Leeds. Ana said you’re the person to ask about the sales data; could I buy you a virtual coffee this week?”

How long should it be?

Situation	Length	Must include
To a new team	60 to 100 words	Your name, role, start date and what you will work on
To a client	80 to 120 words	Your role on their account and one next step
Introducing two people	80 to 150 words	Why they should meet, one line on each, and who should reply first
Cold introduction	50 to 90 words	Why you are writing to them specifically, and one small ask

For cold introductions, keep the ask small: a 15-minute call, not a partnership. The cold outreach introduction templates show the wording.

After you introduce them

Bow out of the threadOnce they have replied to each other, move yourself to Bcc so they can carry on without filling your inbox.“Thanks, Ana. Moving myself to Bcc so you two can find a time.”

If one person never repliesWait a week, then send one short nudge to that person only, never to both.“Hi Tom, just checking you saw my note introducing Ana. No pressure if the timing isn’t right.”

Check back laterA month on, ask how it went. People remember the person who connected them.“Did you and Ana manage to meet? I’d love to hear if it was useful.”
