There are several ways to gather prospect emails using LinkedIn. Some are completely free, while orders require a paid tool. Depending on your marketing budget, you can choose any of these options that meet the needs of your business. They include.
Use a Chrome extension
There are a lot of Chrome extensions for finding LinkedIn emails. Many marketers may not know this, but these extensions ease the process of gathering data. The extension is available on the chrome app. You can easily download it and pin it to the browser.
To use this extension, visit the prospective client and search for the customer profile. Next, use an email scraper, and you will find the email address that you need. The process is short and simple and you may be able to scrape more than one email at a time. But be careful as you do so you don’t break any of the terms of service of the platform.
Ask the prospect
Another option is to ask the prospect for their email address. However, the prospect will have to have accepted your request for a connection on LinkedIn or be interested in what you have to sell. This process may be difficult because it is harder to get such private information. It helps to prepare a personalized message for each prospect rather than just copy-pasting AI messages. It may not always work, but it is worth the try.
Search manually
If you have more time on your hands to find email addresses on LinkedIn, you can do it manually. You only need to login with the LinkedIn account and head to the potential clients profile. Then check the contact info section to reveal their email address. The only problem with this method is that not all prospects have their email address listed on their bio. It could also be an old email which does not apply anymore.
It is free to use and can’t be very helpful. However, the process is tiring because it involves doing multiple individual tasks. It would take forever to complete the process for 100 prospects.
LinkedIn sales navigator
Using the LinkedIn sales navigator can come in handy to find leads and build relationships with prospects. With this tool, you can search, filter, and identify companies and buyers related to your business. It also gives business people real-time updates and deeds so they can personalize messages from LinkedIn to the prospect directly.
The best part about this tool is that it can be integrated with a CRM system to streamline the process even better. These tool has been found to yield a whopping 312% return on investment over three years. It may be expensive, but it is worth it for larger businesses.
Contact sync
Another method which is completely free includes syncing your own contacts with LinkedIn. This will allow you to find profiles that are associated with your contact numbers along with their email addresses. Using a tool like Gmail, you can import these contact details and they can match the addresses to profiles if they exist.
