Warm Introduction Requests

A cold email and a warm introduction to the same person produce dramatically different response rates, and the gap isn't close — a warm intro converts to a real conversation at a rate cold outreach rarely approaches. Most sellers default straight to cold outreach on a target account without ever checking whether a warmer path already exists in their own network or their company's.

Checking for a warm path before defaulting to cold

[ ] Search your own and your colleagues' networks for any
    connection to the target account or the specific target contact
[ ] Check existing customers, especially ones in the same industry
    or region, for a plausible connection
[ ] Check investors, advisors or board members, for companies where
    that's a relevant network to draw on
[ ] Check shared alumni, professional associations or communities

This check takes minutes and is skipped constantly, purely out of habit — most reps go straight to a cold sequence without a single search of their own network for a warmer path, even when one exists and would have converted at a materially higher rate for the same effort.
