How to Use LinkedIn Prospector

Using our unique platform, we match the PURLs from LinkedIn of the profiles you’d like contact information on.

PURL stands for Profile URL and they are unique to each user on LinkedIn.  

Once you’ve gathered this information, using our buyer intent engine, we enhance this data, to include contact details, such as name, job title, email, etc.

PURL stands for Profile URL and they are unique to each user on LinkedIn.  

Once you’ve gathered this information, using our buyer intent engine, we enhance this data, to include contact details, such as name, job title, email, etc.

First Gather a list of the URLs of the profiles you’d like contact information of, from LinkedIn. You can gather these manually or use a LinkedIn automation platform such as Dux Soup to automate the process.

To upload this list, go to your dashboard and navigate to Prospects> LinkedIn Prospector> Upload Data. Simply follow the steps that are specific to your data.

You can also choose between Auto-Reveal or Manual in the LinkedIn Reveal area, by using the toggle in the LinkedIn Reveal Settings tile. Auto-Reveal will automatically reveal contacts based on your persona (credits permitting), whereas Manual lets you discover contacts from specific companies that are pulled in.

To view the contacts that have been revealed, go to Prospector > LinkedIn

Reveal > Results. There are 3 tabs in this area. The Overview tab shows you a graph of the contacts’ PURLs that we have been able to match from our vast database.

The Contacts tab shows you the entire list of contacts that you’ve

imported, and the green or blue button to the right shows whether we have been able to find a match for that contact. Green means that we have revealed that contact’s email, and blue means that we haven’t (however we may be able to find these contacts in the future, as we are constantly updating our database).

The Revealed tab shows you the contact information of the profiles that have been revealed, including the contact name, email, company, position and date created.
