The members who see real results do a few simple things consistently. Here's the playbook — plus copy-and-paste templates for the moments that matter.
01
The fastest way to a strong connection is to be one. Before you ask for anything, ask what the other person is working on and look for a way to help — an introduction, a resource, or a customer.
02
"Anyone in marketing" gets you nowhere. "B2B marketers at 20-200 person SaaS companies in Chicago" gets you introductions. Specific asks are easy to act on — use them in your profile and your requests.
03
Momentum fades fast. Send a short follow-up the same day or next morning while the conversation is still fresh in both of your minds. Use the templates below.
04
When requesting an introduction, write a forwardable note: who you are, why the fit makes sense, and one clear next step. The easier you make it, the more often it happens.
05
Arrive on time and check in with the app when you get to the venue. Checking in tells us you're there and unlocks introductions to the most relevant people in the room.
06
One meetup a month won't build a network. Act on your weekly recommended connections between events — a single coffee chat often outperforms a room full of small talk.
Steal these, personalize the brackets, and send. Each one is short on purpose — short emails get replies.
Subject: Great meeting you at the meetup
Hi [Name], Great meeting you at [venue] today — I really enjoyed our conversation about [topic]. You mentioned you're working on [their project/challenge].

Subject: Quick intro request — anyone in [industry] come to mind?
Hi [Name], You've been generous with your network before, so I wanted to come to you first.
