LinkedIn is a popular channel to attract leads. Finding a LinkedIn profile using an email address can be done through single searches or bulk methods.
Single Search Methods
Email Lookup Tools: Use tools like LeadContact Email Lookup to find profiles, names, locations, and companies instantly.
Google Search: Search the full name + email + "LinkedIn". Or name + company + "LinkedIn".
On LinkedIn:
Sync: Use "My Network" -> "My Contacts" to sync email contact lists (Note: feature likelihood to decrease).
Communities/Groups: If the email reveals the company, search the company on LinkedIn, go to "People," and search for the name found in the email handle.
Bulk Search Methods
Data Enrichment Tools: Upload a CSV with contact lists (Name + Company/Domain) to tools like LeadContact to retreive LinkedIn URLs, phones, and job titles.
Google Sheets Add-ons: Use extensions within Google Sheets to enrich leads directly in rows.
GPT Formula: Use a Google Sheets script with a Custom Search API key to run a formula searching for LinkedIn profiles based on email data (requires technical setup).
Summary
Fastest single way is Email Lookup. Best bulk way is Data Enrichment tools. Google search is a free manual alternative.
