In marketing, emailing is 40 times more effective than social networks in generating leads . But how to get the email addresses of your targets?
One of the quickest and easiest ways is to use an email search tool . You can search for a company’s email address as well as a specific person’s email address .
Let’s discover 5 email scraping tools for:
Hunter.io is one of the best known email extractors.
Hunter.io allows you to:
Hunter.io searches for the emails you need from the domain name of the business website you have targeted . You simply enter the domain name in the search bar of this web scraping tool, and you will obtain the email addresses of your prospects, as well as their respective functions and names.
You can also use the Google Chrome extension and discover the email addresses linked to the website you are visiting.
For example, you can obtain the email address of the human resources manager, to contact him and offer him your training offer for his employees.
Hunter.io also has an “Email Finder” feature to find a particular prospect’s email address . But you need their name and company website.
Hunter.io allows you to check if the email addresses obtained from your searches are valid , that is to say if they are active (they receive emails).

You also have the choice between 4 paid packages :

Since Linkedin is such a good resource, why not focus on it?
This is precisely the role of Leadin. It is an all-in-one tool allowing you to obtain the professional email addresses of your prospects, then to launch your campaigns directly on the platform .
Because if all the previous tools bring you qualified leads, they do not allow you to contact them en masse to convert them! Email scraping tools are incomplete to achieve your business goals.
Leadin lets you search for your prospects’ email addresses on Linkedin, even if you’re not connected with them .
The email addresses provided are verified . You are thus sure that your prospects will receive your emails . Which also protects your deliverability .
Linkedin is a great choice because 80% of B2B social media leads come from Linkedin . Only 13% come from Twitter and 7% from Facebook.
Different types of events (meetings, workshops, seminars, etc.) are regularly organized on Linkedin. All you have to do is look for the most relevant ones: those that interest your target audience and with a lot of participants.
Once the event has been chosen (and you are registered for it), use Leadin to retrieve the list of participants, then contact them automatically.
The approach is effective because of the common interest with the prospect (when asking for a connection, specify that you participated in the event!). You can get a connection request acceptance rate of 76%, and a response rate to your messages of 35% . We did the test for you!
Finder emails are very useful, but the email addresses obtained are only a means to achieve your goal: to sell .
To convert your prospects into customers, Leadin allows you to launch campaigns both on Linkedin and by email, automated or not.
You can connect any email provider with Leadin (Gmail, Outlook…) . Emails are customizable and you can even add custom images or GIFs.
On Linkedin, you can send personalized connection requests, messages and free InMails.
Leadin is particularly appreciated as an all-in-one marketing tool : simple, effective and inexpensive prospecting.
