When To Send It:

When a client gives you a referral, follow up quickly to introduce yourself and ask whether you can be of service. Introduce yourself to a lead you identified on a social network like LinkedIn or Twitter by sending a piece of helpful content.

Why It's Important

Mentioning the referring client catches the new lead’s attention, while providing background information helps to educate them if the referring client didn’t explain your product or service.

How To Use It

Use it by itself, or part of an automated series of emails. See how it works, live.
