Unlocking the Power of Effective Cold Outreach

Finding Relevant Leads: The Smart Way to Get Their Email Addresses

Finding relevant leads is tough—but getting their email addresses is even tougher! Most professionals don’t publish their email addresses online, and no one wants to deal with unsolicited emails and spam. To make things harder, the information on company websites is often outdated or outright incorrect.

These challenges delay sales engagement and outreach, leaving sales reps and entrepreneurs feeling powerless and frustrated. Fortunately, there are effective workarounds! In this article, we’ll discuss non-sleazy solutions for finding your leads’ email addresses.

Should You Buy an Email List?

Building an email list from scratch is challenging and time-consuming, which is why many businesses resort to purchasing email lists as a shortcut. While this might seem like a quick fix, buying email lists usually causes more harm than good. Here’s why:

• Low-Quality Leads: Purchased lists often include people who are not interested in your product or service. Worse, they may not even exist. This leads to high bounce rates, low open rates, and spam complaints.
• Outdated Information: These lists are frequently outdated and contain invalid email addresses. Emails sent to these addresses may land in spam folders or get blocked, harming your sender reputation.
• Hidden Costs: At the very least, you’ll need to pay for an email verifier to check the addresses. But if you’re using Super Send, email verification is already built in, saving you time and money.

Legit Ways to Find Email Addresses

Before diving into advanced techniques, start with the obvious. Search LinkedIn profiles and company websites for contact details. Once you’ve done your basic research, try these methods:

1. Use Email Finders

Email finders are the quickest way to get email addresses. Tools like Super Send, Hunter.io, and Findymail gather information from various sources, such as domain registrars, company websites, and social media profiles, to generate email addresses. Many email finders also verify email addresses to ensure they’re valid.

How to Find Emails with Super Send:

• Download the Super Send Chrome extension.
• Open LinkedIn Sales Navigator and search for your leads by job title (e.g., Heads of Marketing).
• Use the Super Send extension to validate email addresses and add them to your campaign.
• Alternatively, use the free Super Send email finder: input the lead’s first name, last name, and domain to find and verify their email address.

2. Leverage Online Directories and B2B Databases

Directories like Crunchbase and ZoomInfo can help you find key decision-makers. These platforms are especially useful during the early stages of lead sourcing, but they can be expensive and still require email verification.

3. Build Relationships on Social Media

If you can’t find an email address, reach out on LinkedIn or Twitter. Use these tips to establish a connection:

• Engage with their posts by liking or commenting thoughtfully.
• Send a personalized connection request or direct message to start a conversation.
• Once you’ve built rapport, ask for their email address.

Pro Tip: Automate your social media outreach with Super Send to save time and effort.

4. Use Google Search

Sometimes, a simple Google search can yield results. Try these search queries:

• [Full Name] + [Company Name] + “email”
• [Full Name] + [Company Name] + “@”
• site:companywebsite.com + [Full Name] + email

Experiment with different queries to narrow down your search.
