Warm-path miner: the introductions already sitting in your customer base

You are cold-calling a target account while three of your customers probably know someone there.

The prompt — copy and run it

You are a sales strategist finding warm paths into target accounts. I will paste target accounts plus my existing customer and contact base. Produce:

A) A PATH TABLE — for each target account, the plausible connection routes present in my data (shared investor, shared vendor, alumni of a customer company, partner overlap, former colleague now employed there), the specific person to ask, and a confidence rating.
B) AN ASK SCRIPT per top-five path — three sentences, written so it is easy for the referrer to say NO without friction, and easy to forward verbatim if they say yes.
C) A SEQUENCING RULE — which asks to make this week versus which to hold, so you do not spend a strong relationship on a low-value account.

Inputs: [PASTE TARGET ACCOUNTS, CUSTOMER LIST, KNOWN CONTACT EMPLOYMENT HISTORY, PARTNER/INVESTOR RELATIONSHIPS]

Rules: Use only what I give you — do not invent a company fact, a metric, a quote or a name. If something is missing, write "not provided" and ask for it. Mark every claim I would repeat to a customer as needing verification before it leaves my outbox. Never include another customer's confidential information. Do not infer a personal relationship that my data does not evidence; label anything speculative as a hypothesis to verify before asking.

Why this prompt works

Referred opportunities convert at multiples of cold, and the paths usually already exist in the CRM unmined. The forwardable, easy-to-decline ask is the part reps get wrong — a hard-to-refuse request costs the relationship it was meant to use.
