Personalization and persistence

The speaker recounts outreach and discusses AI-assisted research.

A speaker says they emailed Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff once a week for 53 weeks, testing different personalized approaches. The anecdote describes their experience, not evidence that persistent unsolicited emails generally work.

The speaker mentions experimenting with references to the recipient’s interests and company results. The clip emphasizes persistence, although it does not show the full exchange or explain the eventual outcome.

The speaker suggests asking a language model for less-obvious information to personalize an email. Model-generated claims should be checked against reliable public sources, and outreach should respect the recipient’s privacy and wishes.
