Reaching out

Consider reaching out to someone with different 'touches', such as a phone call, email, written letter, or an appropriate gift.
Pace your follow-ups. Every two weeks is a good starting place, and if they don't respond, try a monthly follow-up.
Give them an 'out' if they need one.
Keep correspondence light and ongoing, instead of only reaching out when you need help.

Being assertive

In some workplace situations, being persistent can be a sign of confidence and strength.

Valuing time

No one is interested in an elaborate saga. Instead, ask a short, clear question on a subject in which the other person has expertise. They'll often be glad to help.

Offering value

Effective persistence should always be based on providing incremental value.
