Great post man, totally agree. People are busy you got to make it easy for them to help you.

I wish more people understood how to ask for an introduction with grace. Too often it feels like there's no option to say no.

This is a format that was beaten into me when I got started - most people default to really inefficient habits.

If the person you want to get intro-ed to is too busy to currently help you out, is it typically OK to follow up again just a month later? Or would you recommend trying to get intro-ed by someone else?

I'm assuming this is after the intro is made - no need to get a second intro unless it's after a really long period of time and you have a better connection. It's okay to follow up if you have a good pretense.
