4 Tips to search anyone’s email address

by Ayaz Ahmad Online Business Analyst

Are you aware that 40 percent of sellers say their biggest challenge is contacting the prospects?

What we say is that over a third of salespersons are only trying to locate an email address with their heads stuck against thea wall. Whatever the marketing campaign is, it does not matter how clever or optimised, it is a no-starter if you can not touch the future first.

To send a request via a contact page for a prospect is all right, but we all know that it is a game changer to speak to a prospect directly. That's why we'll explain an almost stupid method in today's article for finding someone's email address. Here is how it functions:

1) Begin with Skrapp and LinkedIn

 Initially, a combination of Linkedin and a smart tool named Skrapp will be used in the email finding process. LinkedIn is the largest professional social network in the world with over 500m users around the world. It is possible that any one you want to log into has an account with LinkedIn so it's the best place to start looking for an email address. The easiest way to get an e-mail address is to simply add it to LinkedIn and press the "See contact information" button to display your contact details.

However, not all prospects can consider your connecting request that places something on the wrench. It's time you turn to Skrapp when you can't link to a prospect through LinkedIn. Skrapp is an interactive tool for finding email addresses associated with any LinkedIn you display with LinkedIn's sales navigator.

All you have to do is to press the small blue button by using your Chrome extension and your contact details will be automatically uploaded.

Another nice little feature of Skrapp is that it can also scan for bulk email addresses, which is especially useful when contacting more than one prospect. Whenever you're looking for LinkedIn opportunities, Skrapp can be used to export the entire value of the page to a CSV server.

 Be aware that up to 100 e-mail searches a month are allowed by Skrapp. You will have to buy a single package, the least expensive from $49 a month for a thousand e-mails per month, if you want more than that.

2. Use an email finder

You should be able to find someone's email address with only Skrapp most of the time, but we advise you to move to an email address finder called hunter if you do not get the result you are searching for.

Hunter is an easy to use email finder that comes as a Google Chrome extension that provides all publicly connected e-mail addresses to any given domain name.

This email address finder gives us a score of how likely it is that the email address is active based on the number of places it can be identified online. A further benefit of Hunter is that it offers you common patterns behind the email addresses of that domain — you will at least know what your contact details are even if you can't get the specific email address of your prospect.

VoilaNorbert is a business email finder that works similar to Hunter. Like Hunter, you can check for the name of someone and the company you work for and with VoilaNorbert you can collect all known public email adresses.

However, its extra features are what distinguish this business email finder from the rest. In particular, its Gmail plugin allowing you to schedule e-mails, set up memoranda and create automatic sequences for each prospect.

Findemailaddress.co is a email address finder that does the same job but with more efficiency and accuracy than the former two tools.

3. Use an Email Permutator with Mail Tester

If you're yet to find an email address for someone, then it's time to take a trained guess in the dark. Many companies follow the same basic formula when it comes to email addressesHunter must be able to get you the e-mail pattern your browser uses, but only if you are able to always upload every option from Metric Sparrow via E-mail Permutator+.All you have to do is complete the required fields and make any possible variation on your account.

While every email address can be CC into a given account, save trouble with the use of MailTester, another super easy tool, to receive hundreds of "Delivery System Error" emails.

4. Find gatekeeper using LinkedIn

Because most of you will now realize, it is much more productive to approach a prospect via a referral than cold calling. You should always take it first if you have the possibility to be referred by shared contact.

However, you can always try this approach for those of us who have no relation to each other.

You can always find somebody else who can even if you can't connect to your prospect. You can go through LinkedIn to see whether you have shared ties or contact one of their colleagues and help you introduce them.

This can be accomplished by visiting the "About us" page of the company and listing all of its current staff. They will provide a list of all current staff and will be able to find someone in a similar position, or possibly somebody at the executive level.

Once you get the contact details of your gatekeeper, it is just as easy to reach and request a reference.
