How to Find Emails on LinkedIn Sales Navigator

If you're using LinkedIn Sales Navigator for sales recruiting or practically anything else, finding emails is one of the most valuable things you can use it for. 

In this article, I will share how you can use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to find emails effectively. 

Let's dive into the details of why LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a fantastic tool for email discovery and explore three powerful methods to find email addresses.

Why LinkedIn Sales Navigator is Great for Finding Emails

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is an exceptional tool for several reasons when it comes to finding email addresses. Here are some key benefits:

• Advanced Search Filters: Sales Navigator offers highly targeted search options, allowing you to find exactly who you're looking for with precision.
• In-Depth Profiles: Access to detailed profiles provides more information about your prospects, which is crucial for personalized outreach.
• Always Up to Date: Sales Navigator is always up to date. In fact, most databases are built on LinkedIn, making it the most up to date database around.
• Contact Information: When connected, you can view direct contact information, including email addresses, right on the profile.

Now, let's explore the three methods to find emails using LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

1. Connect with a Prospect and Then Search Their Email

One of the most straightforward and reliable ways to find an email address on LinkedIn Sales Navigator is to connect with your prospect. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Send a Connection Request: Start by sending a personalized connection request. Make sure your message is engaging and relevant to increase the chances of acceptance.
2. Wait for Acceptance: Once your connection request is accepted, you can view their profile and contact information.
3. View Contact Information: Navigate to their profile and click on the “Contact Info” section. Here, you’ll often find their email address along with other valuable contact details.

This method is simple and effective. By connecting with your prospects, you not only gain access to their email but also open up the possibility for further engagement and networking.

2. Save Their Email Using the LeadLoft Chrome Extension

For a more sophisticated approach, consider using a Chrome extension like LeadLoft LinkedIn Prospector. 

This tool leverages email pattern matching and verification to guess email addresses with remarkable accuracy. Here’s how you can use it:

1. Install the LeadLoft Prospector Extension: Add the LeadLoft Prospector extension to your Chrome browser (Install here).
2. Search for Your Prospect: Use Sales Navigator to find the prospect you’re interested in.
3. Activate LeadLoft: With the prospect’s profile open, click the bright blue “Save” button. It will automatically find and verify the prospects email address based on their team’s most likely pattern.
4. Save the Right Email: LeadLoft allows you to save the email address for a specific company. This is particularly useful if your prospect has multiple roles at different organizations.

This method doesn’t require you to be connected with the prospect and offers a high degree of accuracy, making it the best option for bulk email discovery.

3. Guess Their Email (Name + Domain)

The last option involves guessing the email address based on the prospect's name and the company’s domain. While this is the least reliable method, it can still be effective, especially for one-off needs. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Identify Common Patterns: Most companies use predictable email patterns such as:some text
   • FIRST@COMPANY.COM
   • FIRST.LAST@COMPANY.COM
   • FIRST.L@COMPANY.COM
2. Generate Potential Emails: Use these patterns to create potential email addresses based on your prospect's name and the company domain.
3. Test and Verify: Send a test email or use an email verification tool to check the validity of the generated addresses.

While this method can be hit-or-miss, it’s a quick and free way to potentially find a single email address. However, be cautious about sending bulk emails without verification, as this can lead to a high bounce rate and potential spam issues.
