如何優雅有效地處理介紹電子郵件 (How to handle intro emails gracefully and effectively)
您想幫個忙時不想忘恩負義... (You don’t want to sound ungrateful when asking for a favor…)
Let me tell you the story that inspired this post. I sent an intro email to connect my friend Larry with David. Larry was interested in getting a referral to a role at David’s company. My intro email was something like,
讓我告訴您激發這篇文章的故事。 我發送了一封介紹電子郵件,以將我的朋友拉里與戴維聯系起來。 拉里(Larry)對轉介到戴維(David)公司的職位感興趣。 我的介紹電子郵件是這樣的,
Hey David,
嗨,大衛,
As I mentioned, Larry is interested in a role at [COMPANY].
正如我提到的,Larry對[COMPANY]的職位很感興趣。
Larry,
拉里
David is a good friend who has been at [COMPANY] for two years. He’d be a great person to field your questions. I’ll let you take it from here!
大衛是在[COMPANY]呆了兩年的好朋友。 他將是一個很好的人,可以回答您的問題。 我讓你從這里拿走!
A few hours later I got this reply from David:
幾個小時后,我收到了David的回復:
Ugh. This was the last thing I wanted to hear. Larry’s follow up reply to the intro left a bad taste in David’s mouth.
啊。 這是我想聽的最后一件事。 拉里(Larry)對簡介的后續回復給戴維(嘴)留下了不好的味道。
David was willing to refer Larry, but it probably wasn’t a strong endorsement. Needless to say, Larry’s application got rejected on the spot, even with a referral.
大衛愿意推薦拉里,但這可能不是很強烈的認可。 不用說,即使有推薦,拉里的申請也被當場拒絕。
This situation made me feel hesitant to intro Larry to any of my connections in the future, and David is probably warier of being introduced to my contacts.
這種情況使我感到很猶豫,以后再也不愿向Larry介紹我的任何聯系,而David可能更愿意被介紹給我的聯系人。
I gave this feedback to Larry, and of course Larry didn’t intend to come off as ungrateful. He just didn’t know the best way to present himself when asking someone he’d never met for a referral.
我將此反饋提供給了拉里(Larry),當然,拉里(Larry)并不想脫口而出。 當他問一個從未見過的推薦人時,他只是不知道展現自己的最佳方式。
回復介紹電子郵件的3條原則 (3 Principles for Replying to an Intro Email)
As a baseline, remember to keep in mind that if your friend introduces you to one of their contacts, in a way they’re vouching for you. Don’t take that for granted.
作為基準,請記住要記住,如果您的朋友向您介紹了他們的一個聯系人,那么他們會為您擔保。 不要認為這是理所當然的。
1.成為第一個回復 (1. Be the first to reply)
If you’re the one that’s going to be asking for a favor, for example, a referral, be the first to reply to the intro email. You don’t have to respond within minutes, but when you first see the email, go ahead and reply.
如果您是想要幫個忙的人(例如,推薦人),請第一個回復介紹電子郵件。 您不必在幾分鐘之內回復,但是當您第一次看到電子郵件時,請繼續并進行回復。
Don’t wait for the other person to offer to connect with you. Chances are, if you don’t reply, they won’t reply. Plus, if you respond quickly to the intro, it shows enthusiasm. If days go by without you replying to the intro, it just seems that you’re not very interested or this intro isn’t important.
不要等對方提出要與您建立聯系。 如果您不回復,他們很可能不會回復。 另外,如果您對簡介有個快速的React,它會顯示出熱情。 如果幾天過去了,而您又沒有對簡介進行答復,那么您似乎對此并不十分感興趣,或者該簡介并不重要。
Of course there are situations when you can’t reply quickly, but if you ask for an intro, make sure you follow up — and the sooner the better.
當然,有些情況下您無法快速回復,但是如果您要求介紹,請確保您跟進—越早越好。
2.當你要東西的時候,給他們出去 (2. When you ask for something, give them an out)
Generally, if you’re getting introduced to someone, you’re going to be asking them for something. Make sure you make a very specific ask, but also give them an out. Give them an easier or less time consuming way to help you out.
通常,如果您被介紹給某人,您會要求他們提供一些東西。 確保提出一個非常具體的要求 ,也要給他們一個答案。 給他們一種更簡單或更省時的方法來幫助您。
For instance, a common ask is to “meet up for 30 minutes over coffee to learn more about ‘Company X’.”
例如,一個常見的要求是“喝咖啡開會30分鐘,以了解有關“ X公司”的更多信息。”
This is a perfectly reasonable ask, but understand that while 30 minutes isn’t that much time, there’s travel time to get to and from the coffee shop, there’s context switching in the middle of the day, and there might be some hesitancy to meet up with a stranger that you’ve never met before.
這是一個完全合理的問題,但要理解,雖然30分鐘的時間并不多,但有往返咖啡廳的旅行時間,一天之中會發生上下文切換,可能會有些猶豫和一個從未見過的陌生人約會。
If your primary ask is for an in-person meeting, give them an option to connect over the phone, which is less of a commitment:
如果您的主要要求是進行面對面的會議,請給他們一個通過電話連接的選項,這不算什么大的承諾:
Would you be up to meet for 30 minutes over coffee so I can learn more about Company X? If coffee doesn’t work, happy to schedule a time to connect over the phone. Either way, if you’re up for a coffee chat or a phone call, I can send over a few times to find a time that works best for the both of us.
您想喝杯咖啡開會30分鐘,以便我可以詳細了解X公司嗎? 如果咖啡不起作用,很高興安排時間通過電話連接。 無論哪種方式,如果您準備進行咖啡聊天或打個電話,我都可以發送幾次,以找到最適合我們雙方的時間。
This is a very considerate way to ask for someone’s time. Notice that I not only give an additional, smaller commitment ask, but also, I first ask if they’re willing to connect at all. I then follow it up by saying I’ll take on the burden of scheduling if they agree. I’m trying to make it as easy as possible for them to help me.
這是詢問某人時間的一種非常體貼的方式。 請注意,我不僅要提出一個額外的,較小的承諾問題,而且,我首先要問他們是否愿意連接。 然后,我接著說,如果他們同意,我將承擔安排工作的重擔。 我正在努力使他們盡可能地幫助我。
As a rule of thumb, when offering an option, suggest one that is one level down from your primary ask in terms of commitment. So if you’re asking for an in-person meet up, give them an option for a phone call. If you’re asking for a phone call, give them an option for you to “send over a few specific questions via email”.
根據經驗,在提供選擇時,建議您的承諾比主要要求低一級。 因此,如果您要求親自見面,請給他們一個電話選項。 如果您要打個電話,請給他們一個選項,“通過電子郵件發送一些特定問題”。
3.證明您已經做過一些研究 (3. Show that you’ve done some research)
Include a sentence about why you’re excited about the company you’re asking about. Maybe it’s a recent product launch or a business partnership. Look through the company’s blog or search for recent press articles. You can say something like,
加上一句話,說明您為什么對所詢問的公司感到興奮。 也許是最近的產品發布或業務合作。 瀏覽公司的博客或搜索最近的新聞文章。 你可以說類似
I saw that [Company X] just launched a new [insert feature]. That’s super exciting, I think it has a lot of potential to gain traction.
我看到[公司X]剛剛推出了一個新的[插入功能]。 太令人興奮了,我認為它具有很大的潛力來吸引人們。
Even though this statement is generic, it goes a long way to at least demonstrate you’ve done a little bit of digging to find what’s currently going on at the company.
盡管該聲明是通用的,但至少可以證明您已經做了一些挖掘工作以查找公司當前的狀況,這還有很長的路要走。
Putting it all together, here’s a template you can use to reply to an intro email when you’re looking to connect, in order to ask for a referral or more information about a company.
綜上所述,這是一個模板,您可以在希望建立聯系時用來回復介紹電子郵件,以索取推薦人或有關公司的更多信息。
Hey [Name],
嘿[名字],
Nice to meet you! Thanks for offering to connect. It looks like [COMPANY] has been doing a lot lately - I noticed you all just launched a new product/partnership [INSERT ANY COMPANY NEWS]. Would love to hear more about that and any other big initiatives [COMPANY] is look to tackle this year.
很高興見到你! 感謝您提供連接。 看起來[COMPANY]最近做得很多-我注意到你們所有人都推出了新產品/伙伴關系[INSERT ANY COMPANY NEWS]。 希望聽到更多有關此消息的信息,[COMPANY]計劃在今年提出其他解決方案。
Would you be free for a quick call during any of these times? [INSERT AVAILABILITY]
在這些時間中的任何一個時間內,您是否有空撥打快速電話? [插入可用性]
If a call doesn’t work, happy to send over a few questions over email.
如果無法通話,請通過電子郵件發送一些問題。
Thank you!
謝謝!
– [YOUR NAME]
- [你的名字]
請記住,您的朋友為您擔保! (Remember, your friend is vouching for you!)
Keep in mind that both your friend and their connection are doing you a favor. When you reply to an intro email, set a tone of gratitude and excitement. Being gracious and enthusiastic goes a long way, especially when you’re asking for something!
請記住,您的朋友和他們的關系都在幫您一個忙。 當您回復介紹性電子郵件時,請設置感謝和興奮的語氣。 待人熱情好客還有很長的路要走,特別是在您要東西的時候!
