How many follow-up emails should I send?

Three is the practical ceiling for most B2B threads. First bump after a few days, second with a new piece of value, third as a breakup. More than that usually trains people to ignore you, not to reply. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
