Quick Answer

Your LinkedIn network contains valuable business data about your prospects, potential partners, employees, and influencers. Since many businesses use this social network for lead generation, you need to know how to export LinkedIn contacts with emails. Using the time-tested Linked Helper tool, you can scrape data to the CRM, where you can assign tags to contacts, leave notes, and set up auto interactions with groups of contacts.

The advantage of this web scraper is that you can export LinkedIn connections to Excel and the table will contain 21+ columns with vital data. It will display personal and work emails, addresses, phone numbers, work and training history, as well as your history of correspondence with the person (if it happened through the Linked Helper CRM). You can try the service for two weeks in trial mode by connecting any LinkedIn service plan – basic or premium services like Recruiter or Sales Navigator.

By default, when you download an archive of contacts via LinkedIn, you will receive a meager set of data, which most often will not include emails. It is not suitable for marketing purposes.

However, Linked Helper will perform smart crawling of emails in two ways – through an internal database and through the domain of the organization in which the person works. In the second case, crawling will be done through collaboration with the Snov.io email marketing service. Thus, your chances of getting a database of contacts with emails are two times higher this way, and you won’t have to manually copy the data and validate the emails.

Also, you can get contacts not only from your professional network, but also from 2nd and 3rd-degree contacts and from search pages, LinkedIn groups, or event participants.

Here is an example of how each contact will look in the CRM – all data from the page will be available to you and can be downloaded for all contacts from the database.

How you can use the database:

Linked Helper can send contact invites bypassing the limit of 100 weekly invites. This means that having received a database of emails from 2nd and 3rd degrees of connection, you can insert them into the service and send 7 times more invitations. This is an effective way to quickly expand your network without the risk of getting banned from the social network.
Convenient email marketing. You can set up cold email outreach. It is also possible to work directly with the Snov.io service for cold email outreach. Or you can import the emails into any other email automation platform.
Auto interactions right in LinkedIn. With the help of the tool, you can not just parse and download data, but also attract the attention of your target audience. For example, you can collect contacts for your business goals – set LinkedIn filters by niche and keywords. Once added to the campaign, these contacts will be automatically saved to the CRM as well. Further, in the campaign, you can add extra actions: visit profiles, put likes, send auto-messages, and invite to events.
