Cold email name-dropping a mutual connection
Use when you share a mutual contact and want to borrow that trust without overstating the relationship.
Write a cold email that references a mutual connection honestly.
Prospect: {{prospect_name}} at {{company}}.
Mutual connection: {{mutual_name}}, and how I actually know them: {{relationship_truth}}.
What I offer: {{offer}}.
Why {{mutual_name}} might think we are a fit: {{fit_reason}}.
The email should:
- Mention the mutual connection in the first line, truthfully (no exaggeration).
- Briefly connect why this makes me relevant to them.
- Keep the pitch to one line.
- End with a soft, specific ask.
