How Community Leaders Increase Member Engagement With Warm Introductions

Ask members what connection would help, make small contextual matches, and measure whether the introduction was useful.

What to know

Member engagement improves when introductions help people make progress, not when they simply increase message volume. Ask members what kind of connection would be useful, make small contextual matches, and give both people an easy way to decline. Measure whether the connection was useful, not just whether it happened.

Try this

  1. Ask members what help or connection would be useful now.

  2. Make small, specific matches with a clear reason for each.

  3. Follow up to learn whether the introduction was useful.
