# Who should I reconnect with?

> Three clients fit in your head. The ninety people who could send you work don't. Every week YouSpot names the one worth a note, says why now, and drafts it in your voice.

For: Consultants, Founders, Advisors, Creators. Reads: LinkedIn, Gmail.

## What you get

Over half of new work for people like you comes from people you already know, and it goes quiet by default, one finished project at a time. Nothing in your day reminds you of Dana. This does.

It ranks by who has actually mattered, not just by how long it has been. A founder's early investor, a creator's first sponsor, a consultant's best referrer. The draft is written from what you've sent before, so it sounds like you, and you are the one who sends it.

## How it knows

Your LinkedIn messages and invitations say who you talk to and when it stopped. Connect Gmail and your sent mail joins them, which is where the referrals and the introductions live. YouSpot reads when you last wrote to each person and who has sent something your way, and picks the person where both say now.

## An example

**Who have I not spoken to in six months?**

94 people in your history have been quiet for six months or more.

The one worth starting with is Dana Whitfield: eight months, and she sent you two referrals last year. Here's a draft.

From your LinkedIn messages. With Gmail connected, from your sent mail too.

## Questions

### How often will it nudge me?

Weekly by default, one to three people, one draft. It never sends the same suggestion twice after you have dismissed it.

### Does it send the note?

No. The draft lands in your own Gmail. You read it, change what you like, and you send it.

### Will it treat my friends like sales targets?

It ranks people by relationship and time, not by deal value, and there is no pipeline anywhere in the product. The note it drafts is the one you would have written if you had remembered.
