> Send 8 different emails to every prospect.

I'm honestly surprised that this works. If someone sent more than 2 or 3 unsolicited emails to me, they would end up in the killfile really fast.

It's phrased a little oddly, but maybe 8 different emails 4 days apart with a conversational tone means actually having a conversation with the other party. But if they're not responding, how can it be conversational without being super-sleazy-salesman fake? Why wait days in between replies?

If they are relevant and personalized, these can be very effective. I've had people respond sincerely on a 7th or 8th attempt.
