I'm trying to get a referral but I'm not sure how to approach it. What's the best way to ask for a referral without sounding too pushy or demanding? I want to make sure I'm respectful of the other person's time and willingness to help.

Conversely, a formal tone might be necessary when asking someone you don't know well or who holds a higher position.

If they can't help, show empathy and understanding. Acknowledge their situation and thank them for considering your request.
