Not sure how to get contact info from LinkedIn without being connected?
Here’s what you need to do:
The first step is to find your prospect’s profile. Do this with LinkedIn’s search bar on desktop, there’s a whole host of advanced filters you can use to narrow down your list of leads.
Once you’re on their profile, the Kaspr Chrome Extension will pop up. The notifications let you know we’ve got data for this contact.
All you need to do now is click on it, and the contact information will appear without even sending a connection request!

Next, there’s the Kaspr dashboard.

Now you know how to get contact info from LinkedIn without having to send connection requests.
It really is as simple as one, two, three with Kaspr. 😉
But if you’re looking for other ways to get the data, the three most common methods are:
Remember that the data you get from these may be less accurate. And they are also more time-consuming.
Let’s explore each in more detail. 👇
For this method, you just need a basic LinkedIn account.
To find the contact information, go to your prospect’s LinkedIn profile.
Click on the contact info button to access the information they’ve chosen to share.
Note that contact details like email addresses or phone numbers might not be visible on their profile. The accuracy will also depend on the last time they updated their contact information.
This method is the most time-consuming because you have to go through each profile to get the data (which may not be correct anyway).
It also lacks the lead management features that other prospecting tools provide.
Even if you use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, where you can create lists; it’s not the same as having a tool like Kaspr to arrange your contact data.
To sum up, the pros and cons of manually finding contact info without sending a LinkedIn connection request are. 👇
Pros:
Cons:
Bulk phone finders let you export a CSV file from LinkedIn Sales Navigator and enrich the data in a bulk phone finder.
A couple of the platforms that do this are Evaboot and Datagma.
So, how do they work?
First, you find your leads in Sales Navigator. Use the filters to create a target list.
Then, you need to save this list as a CSV file.
Finally, you use one of the bulk finder tools to upload the CSV and hopefully find and add phone numbers to your data.
The pros and cons of bulk phone finders are:
Pros:
Cons:
These tools ensure that your prospect email addresses are valid and accurate.
Both sales and marketing teams benefit from having a clean and up-to-date email list.
It reduces bounce rates, increases email deliverability and improves lead generation efforts.
To use email verification tools, you need a list of email addresses. You can get these in bulk from LinkedIn using the manual method we explained earlier.
Then the tool will identify and remove emails that are invalid, inactive, or fake.
The process goes through several checks, such as:
The time required depends on the size of the email list. The tool’s automated verification process can save considerable time compared to manual checks.
But wouldn’t it be nice to have verified email addresses (like you get from Kaspr) from the start? 👀
Here are the pros and cons of email verifiers:
Pros:
Cons:
LinkedIn has different levels of connections between users.
The people you already have in your network are your 1st-degree connections. This includes those who accepted your connection request or users whose requests you accepted.
2nd-degree connections are people connected to your 1st-degree connections. They are not in your network, but you have at least one mutual connection. You can connect with them by sending a request, or if you have a premium account, you can send an InMail. The acceptance rate is usually high.
3rd-degree connections are people who share a mutual connection with your 2nd-degree connections. You can still send them a direct connection request or an InMail if you have a premium account. The acceptance rate for messages can be lower.
To make more sales, finding the right people on LinkedIn is crucial.
This is where LinkedIn Sales Navigator comes in. It can help you set up a strategy to find new leads that match your ideal customer profile (ICP). But how does this work?
Here are some tips from Morgan J Ingram, Content Advisor at Cognism:
First, create three types of saved searches. 👇
To refine your search results, you can use filters such as past company, current job role, seniority level, spotlights, industry, and connections of.
By setting up these saved searches, you’ll be notified whenever new contacts matching your ICP appear since the last time you checked.
It will look like this:
