Email Prospecting Guide

This guide will provide you with a clear and concise method for finding and verifying email addresses for prospects using online tools and a spreadsheet. By the end of this guide, you will be able to efficiently generate leads by obtaining the correct email addresses for your prospects.

To start, locate your prospect's LinkedIn profile. This platform is a rich source of professional information and can often lead you to additional contact details.

Once you have the prospect's LinkedIn information, look for any websites they may be associated with, such as a personal blog or company website. This is crucial for the next step in generating their email address.

With the domain name acquired from the prospect's website, use an email combinator tool to generate possible email permutations based on the prospect's name and domain.

The email combinator will output a list of potential email addresses. This list will be used in the following steps to verify the correct email address of your prospect.

Create a new spreadsheet to organize the generated email permutations. This will make it easier to work through the verification process.

Paste the list of email permutations into your freshly prepared spreadsheet.

Use the spreadsheet's "smart chips" feature to convert the list of email permutations into "people chips," which will help you identify which email addresses are valid.

Review the people chips in your spreadsheet. Valid email addresses will usually be highlighted or appear differently from invalid ones. This will allow you to identify the prospect's correct email address.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you should now be able to find and verify a prospect's email address using LinkedIn, an email combinator tool, and a simple spreadsheet hack. This efficient method avoids the hassle of paid services and multiple account creation, streamlining your lead generation process. With practice, this technique will become a valuable part of your cold emailing toolkit.
