Warm intros

The door opens before you knock.

The best cold message is the one you never have to send. salesmonkey checks whether someone already on salesmonkey knows your champion, and asks them for the introduction instead.

How it works

Three steps from cold list to warm path.

  1. 01

    Connect your LinkedIn once.

    salesmonkey learns who you are already connected to. That is what makes you reachable as an introducer, and what lets salesmonkey find a path on your behalf.

  2. 02

    Every champion is checked against the network.

    When a champion surfaces in your stream, salesmonkey looks for a first-degree connection already on salesmonkey before anything goes out cold.

  3. 03

    A mutual connection is asked to introduce you.

    If there is a path, salesmonkey asks the person who already knows them. If there is not, your stream carries on exactly as before.

Without salesmonkey vs. with salesmonkey

Cold outreach vs. an introduction.

Without salesmonkey

  • Every champion reached the same cold way
  • Warm paths sitting unused in someone's connections
  • Introductions chased manually, one favour at a time
  • Response rates set by your subject line alone

With salesmonkey

  • The network checked before any cold send
  • Existing connections turned into a live intro graph
  • The ask made on your behalf, automatically
  • A warm path used whenever one exists

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How does salesmonkey find a warm path?

When you connect your LinkedIn, salesmonkey can see who you are already connected to. If a champion in your stream is a first-degree connection of someone else on salesmonkey, that is a path, and salesmonkey asks them for the introduction rather than messaging the champion cold.

What happens when there is no warm path?

Nothing changes. The champion stays in your stream and is reached the usual way. Warm intros are an extra route when one exists, not a gate on your outbound.

Do I have to connect my LinkedIn?

No, and your streams work without it. Connecting it does two things: it lets salesmonkey find warm intro paths for you, and it makes you available as an introducer for others, which is what keeps paths available for everyone.

Can I invite people to open more paths?

Yes. Every person you invite who joins and connects LinkedIn adds their connections to the set of possible introductions, so the people worth inviting are the ones whose network overlaps your market.

Is anyone messaged without my say-so?

No. An introduction is a request to someone who already knows the champion, and it is theirs to accept or decline.
