Most email finder tools work like this: you provide them with a first name, last name, and company domain, then they try to find an email using this information, but if you have only a LinkedIn profile URL, this becomes a problem.
This guide shows you how to find email addresses from LinkedIn profiles and get a 25% higher finding rate than with any other provider.
📌 Summary For Those In a Rush
This article shows how to find emails from a LinkedIn profile URL using Datablist’s Waterfall Email Enrichment.
Problem: Most email finders require first name, last name, and company domain to search for an email, and if you have only a LinkedIn profile URL, you’ll be in trouble.
Why it’s a problem: You would need to scrape the LinkedIn profile first before searching for the email without knowing if you’ll find it or not, and if you don’t, the scrape would have been pointless (and costly).
Solution: Using Datablist Waterfall Email Enrichment, which allows you to find emails using only a LinkedIn profile URL. You pay only when an email is found.
Why Use Datablist: 3 simple reasons:
- You pay only for success
- 25% more emails than with other tools
- No annual lock-in contracts needed
Life Hack: If you have names, company domains, and LinkedIn profiles, you can use both methods to increase your enrichment rate even further by running first the one and then the other; in both cases, you’d pay only for success, which makes it a no-brainer.
