I forwarded an Introduction yesterday from one unknown to another
unknown who was to send it on to a third unknown - the usual "open
networker" chain of connections sort of thing. A little while later,
the second unknown declined to forward it. I wasn't expecting that.
Here's her explanation: -
In the end, I do not feel as comfortable about
making introductions as you do. I rarely ever
ask for introductions from people with whom I
have had not business interactions with directly
- 95% of my introductions are requested from
people whom I know personally. I stick to
"trusted" contacts, and take introductions
quite seriously. I think it works better when
"A" knows "C"...
