Was hoping that you might be able to introduce me to Johnny Dealmaker at Project X?
I wanted to connect with him because our email list targets a similar demographic with limited overlap. Seeing as our products are non-competitive, I wanted to touch base to see if he was up for brainstorming ways to leverage our existing user bases to grow both of our lists.
We did this with Company R in the past, and both parties received a 15% lift in new subscribers.
Any help is much appreciated.

Do your homework and be able to explain the value you would bring to the person you’re trying to meet.
This is something you need to show to both the person you’re trying to meet along with the person you’re requesting the introduction from.
Show the introducer that you’ve put thought into it and that you have sound reasons for making the request.
The more you can show alignment and make the introducer’s job easier the more comfortable they will be making the introduction for you.
