I work 100% by referral. If I want to meet a CEO, I find a mutual friend and have them call and make the introduction. Works 100% of the time!

I only make introductions when there is a tremendous value statement for BOTH of the individuals. If someone won’t take a short call for me, they are an acquaintance, not a friend. Had that issue maybe twice in 20 years.
