Intro letter text

For a GPSEG contact:

Dear [FN],

GPSEG is founded on the principle of networking for life, and in that spirit I ‘d like to reach out and say hello.

I am fortunate to be able to blend both my passion and profession. I love to help companies solve the challenges related to global talent management and development, especially in the context of cultural competencies, building a diverse and inclusive workforce, and leadership development. It’s a complex field, and that’s why I devote a good chunk of time meeting with executives to educate myself on the emerging issues and develop working relationships across many industries.

Since you [TITLE REFERENCE] for [COMPANY NAME], I’d like to meet over coffee to learn more about your perspectives and experiences. I’ve learned this practice from other executives who have found having working relationships with several outside experts invaluable at different points in their career. GPSEG is a great environment for like-minded executives to make these kinds of connections. The LIfe Sciences, International Executives and Human Capital subgroups have been excellent.

I am in your vicinity frequently. Can you check your calendar and send me 3 dates and times starting the week of [2 weeks ahead] when you are available for a brief 30 minute introductory meeting? I’ll check my calendar and confirm with you.

Thanks very much and I look forward to our discussion.

Kind regards,
