Hi everyone. I need your opinion, please.
A CEO I interviewed with referred me to his brother, head of content at another company. Do I need to, sort of, thank him for the referral?
Some context:
A CEO interviewed me for a B2B SaaS writing role (freelance) two weeks ago. He loves and I'm writing a paid trial article for them this week.
Just last week, a head of content reached out on LinkedIn and I ended the call with him 5 minutes ago. I'll work with him on a project he's looking to start in September/October.
The twist is that he didn't discover me organically. His brother, the CEO I spoke to earlier, mentioned me to him and he reached out.
My Q is, do I need to send a LinkedIn text to the CEO thanking him for the referral? How will this kinda conversation go?
Yes! Send a message to them. Tell them 'Hey! Just got off a call with your brother. Thank you for referring me to him. We'll be starting work sometime in September/October. Thank you for the trust in me even before we start. I'm already excited to get started with our collaboration! Yay!' Something along these lines should work.
thank you so much Aishwarya. this makes a lot of sense and i appreciate you!
