>> Hermann Simon — the founder of Simon-Kucher, one of the world’s most respected pricing consultancies — was one of the few people who did reply. He told me directly: we have no structured process. No structured process. At a firm that has advised thousands of companies on their most important strategic decisions.

Quotes like this won’t lead to people replying to you.

Herman would likely be unhappy to see this published from what he probably considered a private email exchange.

Since you’re only 15 years old I’ll give you the most important business tip you’ll get - respect your clients and potential clients, don’t quote them in public without their permission, NEVER say anything that might make someone look bad, especially if they went to the trouble to reply to your cold email. That’s the basic of sales.
