=== INPUTS ===
Mutual Connection: {{MUTUAL_NAME}}
Relationship to Mutual: {{RELATIONSHIP}}
Target Prospect: {{PROSPECT_NAME}}, {{PROSPECT_TITLE}} at {{PROSPECT_COMPANY}}
Why I Want the Intro: {{REASON}}
What's In It for the Prospect: {{VALUE}}
=== THE MESSAGE STRUCTURE ===
**Part 1 — Your DM to the mutual (150 words max)**
- Acknowledge the relationship warmly
- Ask directly but easily — "no pressure if this isn't a fit"
- Provide context for why you want the intro
- Make it easy: offer to give the mutual a FORWARDABLE blurb so they don't have to write anything
- Close with a genuine "no problem if not"
**Part 2 — The forwardable blurb (100 words max)**
Write this in THIRD PERSON from the mutual's perspective, so they can literally copy-paste-forward it.
Example opening: "Hey [Prospect] — wanted to connect you with [Me]. They're working on [relevant thing] and thought you might find the conversation interesting because [specific reason]..."
The blurb must:
- Explain who you are (1 sentence)
- Explain why the prospect specifically benefits from the intro (2 sentences)
- Include a soft opt-out for the prospect
- End with "feel free to connect directly if it's interesting"
=== OUTPUT ===
1. The DM to the mutual
2. The forwardable blurb
3. A follow-up plan: what to do if the mutual ghosts, what to do if the prospect replies, and what to do if the prospect ignores the intro
4. A thank-you template for the mutual once the intro is madeReplace the bracketed placeholders with your own context before running the prompt:
[Prospect]— fill in your specific prospect.[Me]— fill in your specific me.[relevant thing]— fill in your specific relevant thing.[specific reason]— fill in your specific specific reason.
