Paraphrased question: “Were you so annoyed by [imagined flaw in an attempt at contact] that you did not respond? I want to apologize.” Probably I just didn’t read the email. If I had read it, high odds I would not remember it specifically. People sharply overestimate this risk.

But really: busy people are busy people. The overwhelmingly most common reason for non-response is not active disinterest or even passive disinterest; it is “didn’t organize affairs to have enough bandwidth to action the email.” Follow up more than feels comfortable. It works.

Apparently someone taught sales reps that guilting people about non-response raises conversion rates to responses but hopefully you are better calibrated than to do that.

I know this person. He dropped the f-bomb on an email thread with two partners, seven MDs and half the department's incoming analyst class. We're still in touch, and we *never* talk about that email.

Behind his back though? He is Email Guy, and will forever be remembered as such.

How to be that person: 1. Send to personal email 2. Pitch to market segment that has working, standard solutions at hard-to-beat prices, w/o pricing and using language suggesting you don’t understand that segment 3. Auto re-send same mail after ‘thanks but we’re happy’ reply
