How to Introduce Two People by Email

A good introduction makes it easy for both sides to take the next step.

1. Get permission from both parties before making the introduction, when possible.
2. State clearly why you're connecting them — the shared interest or potential benefit.
3. Give each person a one-line description of the other, framed around relevance to this specific connection.
4. Consider using a "double opt-in" approach — ask both privately first, then connect only if both agree.
