I just spent a few minutes digging through my spam folder. Behold these cries of desperation:
❌ I know you're busy, wanted to make sure this message didn't get forgotten.
❌ I'll hang it up after this but I thought I'd try one last time.
❌ I’m still super interested in collaborating with you, and wondered if you had the chance to check out my article?
❌ It's unfortunate I didn't hear back, but I completely understand! I am sure you are a very busy person.
❌ I know email inboxes can be a busy place so I just wanted to nudge this one more time for you.
❌ I know timing wasn't great a few months ago, but figured I'd reach back out given everything going on.
