How to get emails & phone numbers from LinkedIn
Enriching LinkedIn contacts with emails and phone numbers is a game-changer for anyone relying on LinkedIn for their prospecting efforts. A long-requested SalesPort feature now lets you reveal contact details straight from any LinkedIn profile, at no extra cost. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use SalesPort on LinkedIn step-by-step and explain why this update is such a big deal for outbound sales teams.
Why LinkedIn integration is invaluable
For many sales reps, LinkedIn is the go-to platform for finding professional contacts. But sending InMails or LinkedIn messages (if they’ve accepted your invitation) is rarely enough. Generally you need around 8-11 touchpoints to really connect with a prospect. Spreading these touch points over multiple channels - like email, LinkedIn and phone - can significantly increase your chances of getting in touch. More prospects reached —> more deals closed.
Step-by-step guide to using SalesPort on LinkedIn
Using the new LinkedIn integration is simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Go to a LinkedIn profile
Open linkedin.com and find the profile of the person you want to reach.
2. Open the SalesPort Chrome Extension
With the LinkedIn profile open, click on the SalesPort icon in your browser to launch the extension.
3. Reveal their contact details
Once the extension is open, hit “Prospect” on the bottom left and SalesPort will automatically detect the profile and show you the option to reveal the contact - including their verified email address. Once revealed, you can also add the prospect’s phone number.
