Continued pitches makes your recipient even less likely to respond. Even worse, you might end up on their Gmail filter, front and center. The main takeaways with this kind of email are:
- Reconfirm a time you can follow up
- Try to really understand the recipient’s highest priorities, not just what you’re pitching
- Acknowledge and show genuine appreciation if they email you back
- If you ask, most people will gladly help you help them – if you phrase it politely
