I’d tend to ask them to respond, if they are interested, with a link to an opt-in form to ensure they have agreed to receive future marketing comms from you. If they don’t respond, then I wouldn’t keep emailing.

So is ‘cold emailing’ – in my case asking businesses if they would like to hire me – now out of the question? Or does it count as legitimate business?
