I actually wrote this because I've given several intros in the last month where the person I introduced never replied. Then I get an email from the person I introduced them to a few days later saying "What's up with that?".

Just embarrassing.

If it's laziness on the part of the person being introduced, then it's pretty bad and you should stop doing favors for that person. However, I've had situations where the person being introduced simply didn't realize the ball was in their court. A quick message to that person should do the trick; "Hope this helps! You should follow-up with John as soon as you can."

This just really surprises me! Maybe I'm not doing enough intros.
