11 Best Subject Lines for Professional Introduction Emails

Introductions happen in dozens of scenarios:handovers, job applications, first meetings, event follow-ups.

But no matter the context, one thing stays the same: your subject line has to earn the open.

This post includes 11 subject lines that set the right tone for introductions. Some are personal; others are direct. A few pique curiosity. All aim to help the reader understand who you are and why the message matters.

Great to connect at [event name], a short introduction

Event Introduction Networking

Type: Networking, Event follow up

Tone: Friendly, informal professional

When someone sees the event name, they will remember it faster, and your message will stand out from generic sales outreach.

Pair this subject line with an email that reminds the reader of a specific part of an earlier conversation and proposes a specific next step.

New point of contact for [project or account name]

Introduction

Type: Account, Handover

Tone: Reassuring, professional

Project based teams and account based sales motions both rely on clear ownership.

Your message can include a brief summary of the current status, links to shared spaces such as a knowledge base or project board, and a quick reminder of service hours and escalation paths.

Introduction from [your name] at [company name]

Introduction

Type: Professional, Self introduction

Tone: Clear, straightforward

Many readers expect an introduction that clearly explains who the sender is and what the company does.

This subject line delivers on that promise.

Introduction Email Example

Subject: Introduction from [Your Name] at [Company Name]

Hi [Recipient Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I am part of the [Team Name] team at [Company Name]. Our work here focuses on [one sentence about role or area].

I am reaching out today regarding [clear reason, e.g., a new project, account change, or shared interest]. A short call on [day or time window] could help determine if a longer conversation would be valuable.

Best regards,

[Your Name]
[Role Title]
[Company Name]

Introduction email about [project name] kickoff

Introduction

Type: Project, Kickoff

Tone: Organized, optimistic

Project kickoff moments deserve clear communication from the first message.

The email can outline goals, timelines, main contacts, and links to planning documents. 

This Subject Line Can Also Be:

  • Project kickoff introduction for [Project Name]
  • Meeting the team for [Project Name] kickoff
  • Welcome to the [Project Name] project, quick introduction

Short introduction before our call on [date]

Introduction Meeting

Type: Meeting preparation, Warm introduction

Tone: Courteous, organized

Sending a pre-call email helps keep the context clear and reduces confusion.

Brief introduction about [your company] and support for [goal]

Cold Introduction

Type: Cold, Solution focused

Tone: Direct, value oriented

Cold introduction subject lines work better when the value is clear from the beginning.

The introduction email should showcase one clear use case, a brief line of social proof, and a low-pressure suggestion, such as a resource, short demo video, or link to a support-focused page.

[Referral Name] suggested I apply for [Job Title]

Application Introduction Referral Resume

Name-dropping a real person who supports your application not only gives your note a better chance of being read, it also shows you’re plugged into the team’s culture.

Just make sure your contact is aware and agrees to this approach.

[Your Name] – [Job Title] – Referred by [Referral Name]

Introduction Referral Resume

Name recognition + job title + referral source covers all bases for recruiters who search their inboxes by keywords and connections.

Having a mutual contact with the recruiter gets you extra attention.

Bring a friend to [EventName], your plus-one is free

Event Introduction Referral

You multiply your reach. This subject line encourages word‑of‑mouth growth.

Type: Referral / Share Prompt

Tone: Inviting, generous

Quick favor, [Name], can you introduce us?

Introduction Networking Referral

Type: Relationship, Personal

Tone: Friendly, Conversational

This referral email subject line leans on the lightweight “quick favor” framing.

Respect for the reader’s inbox and hints the lift will be small. Most marketers rely on personal introductions to nurture leads throughout retention journeys.

Starting with the recipient’s name personalizes the ask.

Use this subject line when time feels scarce, and you need the referral wrapped into a brief intro thread.

[Name], who in your circle needs this?

Introduction Networking Referral

Type: Networking, Personal Connection

Tone: Conversational, Curious

Use this email subject line when you want a softer, curiosity-driven intro that feels more like a friendly nudge than a straight-up ask.

The idea is to spark the reader’s mental Rolodex by mentioning “your circle,” which often means friends, clients, or colleagues.

Using the recipient’s name personalizes the request and, honestly, makes the email feel less like a broadcast.

I suggest using this kind of referral subject lines when you have a good relationship with the contact and want them to consider referring someone without pressure.
