How to do a Contact Search While Prospecting for Leads

After hours of browsing LinkedIn you’ve finally found the perfect prospects for your organization’s products and services. 

‍

What are your next steps? How do you go about getting ahold of these prospects? 

‍

A highly targeted email may be enough to get you 10-15 minutes on your prospects schedule. If optimizing your time is not a priority you could try one of the following strategies to find someone's email address:

‍

1. LinkedIn

Some prospects list their email address under the contact info section of their profile. Do not rely solely on this strategy as many people do not include this information on their profile directly.

2. Google Contact Search

Similar to how you search for everything else, type in your prospect's name and company name. You will occasionally stumble across emails listed on company or personal websites, as well as in resumes.

3. Guess & Check

When all else fails, you can always try and guess your prospects email address. If you have emails for others within the organization, you can pick up on email formatting (ex. First Initial + Last Name @company.com)

4. Use Sales Prospecting Software

There are some LinkedIn Extensions and LinkedIn Sales Navigator extensions that will do the contact search automatically and find you someone's phone number.
