LinkedIn email
Let’s be clear, when it comes to prospecting, email remains a timeless tool. You create opportunity for your business and you go to conquer new targets 🎯. 
And on LinkedIn, you can easily get emails from your prospects. But be careful, you don’t get personal emails, you only get what is professional. By the way, there are tools that will allow you to find them.
Tools to recover emails on LinkedIn
The first thing to keep in mind for you to retrieve professional emails is the format of the email. Format? Yes. In fact, you’ll need to pay close attention to a few things:

You will end up with a format that might look like lastname.firstname@entreprise.fr.
