How much is too persistent when cold mailing bankers?

Recently I emailed a professor who was a VP at BAML, I asked him if I could visit his office to talk about his experiences. When he replied he told me about a program in finance on campus and told me to talk to it's director (Nothing Else). This was pretty much common knowledge since 1/3 of finance students apply for it at my school. I'm assuming he tried to direct me away.

Should I be persistent until he actually says 'No' or 'Yes'?
