Warm intro flow
When asking for an intro, do the work for the referrer.

- Provide a
forwardable blurb:- Who you are (1 sentence).
- Why this person (1 sentence).
- The tiny ask (1 sentence).
- Links: LinkedIn/GitHub/resume.
Example blurb:
“Hi Alex — CC: Jordan. Jordan and I overlapped on Contoso’s platform team; he led the RBAC migration (link). He’s exploring similar roles and had two questions about your service mesh rollout; 10 minutes if possible. If now’s not a good time, no worries.”
