How to Get Warm Intros for Partnerships
Every partnership starts with someone who knows both sides. Here's how to find and use those connectors instead of pitching BD cold.
What a warm path looks like in Draftboard: the connector, a 0-100 relationship score, why it's strong, and a one-click intro request.
Step by step
- 1
Add the partner companies and people you want to reach
Paste LinkedIn URLs or upload a CSV of the partner orgs and decision-makers you want.
- 2
Draftboard maps your network and scores the paths
It finds everyone in your network who can reach each partner, each scored 0-100 by relationship strength.
- 3
Review the warmest intros
Sort by relationship strength to see who can actually vouch for you, not just who shares a mutual.
- 4
Request the intro through the warmest connector
Reach the decision-maker through someone they trust, not the inbound form.
What you'll have at the end
A warm route to the partners and decision-makers you want, instead of cold BD.
