Why search for an e-mail address on LinkedIn?

When it comes to B2B prospecting, LinkedIn is often the first channel you think of. You’ll find the right profiles, the right roles, and the key information you need to qualify a prospect. 🗝️

But to refine your strategy and deepen your relationships, it’s often necessary to get out of LinkedIn, let me explain. ⤵️

1) E-mail remains the most powerful B2B channel

Even with LinkedIn messages, professional e-mail remains timeless:

  • Perceived as more serious and structured.
  • Not dependent on LinkedIn’s algorithms or limitations.
  • Integrated with tracking and CRM tools.
💡

Response rates in prospecting are often better by email than via InMail.

2) LinkedIn limits access to information

LinkedIn does not give out its users’ professional e-mails, unless :

  • You are already in contact with them (1st degree).
  • They have made their addresses public in their contact details.
  • You use InMail.

In the end, you’re stuck at the stage: I find this prospect interesting, but I can’t contact him.

3) Searching for e-mails by hand takes a lot of time

Go to the company website, search for a generic email format, test possibilities…

It’s possible, but at what cost? 🤔

That’s why there are tools like Waalaxy that automate the search and give you the right information straight away. 👀

Why use a tool to find a business e-mail address?

Finding a professional e-mail address may seem simple in theory. A Google search, a visit to the company website, or a quick glance at LinkedIn. 👀

Using a tool like Waalaxy is a win-win situation:

  • Reliability ⭢ e-mail addresses are enriched from verified professional databases (like Dropcontact), which greatly reduces errors or obsolete addresses.
  • Time-saving ⭢ no need to spend 10 minutes per contact. With just one click, you can enrich dozens of profiles automatically.

  • RGPD compliance ⭢ tools like Dropcontact are designed to provide data that complies with data protection standards, securing your prospecting.
💡

A tool doesn’t replace your strategy, but it does avoid redundant tasks and allows you to focus on what really matters, namely converting prospects into customers.
