The premise of this magazine sits on the solid foundation that professional introductions far outweigh cold conversations. This is where the line is drawn between the do-it-yourselfers and those who appreciate the professionalism and status of being agented. Here are five reasons why you should engage The Introducer to connect you to people spotlighted on these pages.
1) FAMILIARITY WITH THE PERSON IN THE SPOTLIGHT: The editor and her team may have a networking relationship already established with that person. We are business introduction facilitators. That benefits you two ways: 1) the person in the spotlight will respond faster, and 2) familiarity with the facilitator promotes a warm conversation. You may receive a note from the facilitator with additional information that can help you navigate your conversation.
2) QUICKER/EASIER CONTACT: Those we spotlight - we have the phone #s and email addresses, and the preferred method of contact. We know best days/times to connect.
3) RESPONSE MONITORING: Our spotlighted professionals are all excellent networkers however, if, for some reason, responses to initial contact become sluggish, we can follow up to get that first communication back on track.
4) CREDENTIAL ADVICE: If we feel your request for introduction needs an edit or additional information to create a more targeted fit with the spotlighted person’s networking interests, we’ll advise so that we can move closer to introduction.
5) YOUR INTERESTS ARE NOW OURS: Once we’ve worked with you to create an introduction, we’ll have your request on file, so, don’t be surprised if we alert you when we are spotlighting someone in another issue that we think you’ll want to meet.
