## Key concepts
- Warm path: The clearest route between you and a target buyer based on real relationships and shared history.
- Warm intro: When someone the buyer already trusts introduces you. Trust transfers through the connector.
- Warm outreach: Reaching out directly with shared context but without a formal introduction.
- Warm outbound: The umbrella strategy that includes intros, signals, and everything between cold and gold standard.
- Relationship intelligence: Data that shows who actually knows whom and how strong those connections are.
- Pathfinding: Working backwards from a target to find who in your orbit can get you in.
