CATEGORY: LEAD GENERATION
PRICING: $65/$100/USER/MONTH
We begin with the ones that are most obvious that you might already be familiar with – LinkedIn Sales Navigator – but, whether you’ve tried it or not, you can still get the Sales Navigator browser extension, as it works both for those who have a regular, free LinkedIn account, and those who have the LinkedIn Sales Navigator tool.
And depending on your plan, you’ll get different benefits and features:
REGULAR LINKEDIN ACCOUNT:
Look up for a profile of any of your Gmail contacts by hovering over their email address - you’ll get to see important information from their LinkedIn profile directly without having to leave Gmail, including your shared connections and their work experience.
SALES NAVIGATOR ACCOUNT
If you have full access to LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you can use the extension to quickly save your contacts as leads. You also have access to 'TeamLink' which helps to find any common connections with prospects so you can get an introduction.

The Hunter Chrome Extension helps you find the most crucial contact information that you care about – company email addresses.
The tool can be used on any website you want - if the icon is colored orange, that means it’s found some emails for that particular company, so you can click on it to check the results.
Sometimes, you also get a name with the email to help you understand whose it is, but not all the time. Additionally, you might encounter quite a few out-of-date emails, but Hunter combats this by giving all emails a quality score to let you know how likely it is that email is still in use.
You can also find possible email addresses from lead names using their native algorithm and domain names and verify validity of email addresses. Hunter.io has the highest accuracy rates of all the email scraping tools our sales folks have used so far.

Email Extractor is a tool similar to Hunter.io that assists in finding the right domain and email addresses for prospects. It can even host details such as Twitter and Facebook accounts in its databases. It can provide you with domain names and email addresses of members of the organizations with those domains that are scraped from various websites.
Alternately, you can also enter the name of a lead and the domain name and Email Extractor will give you an email address with decent accuracy rates.
You can also verify any email address on the platform and it will let you know if it is a valid email ID or not. We have encountered scenarios where the domain is a "catch-all"� domain and it cannot be 100% verified if the email exists or not.
Exporting of the contact details of bulk prospects and downloading as a .CSV file is a notable feature of Email Extractor.

Skrapp as a Chrome Extension works seamlessly with LinkedIn and can help you pull professional email addresses of your prospects straight out of their LinkedIn profiles.
It runs on a predictive algorithm and hence reliability of the email addresses is not 100% but the reason why our salespeople have Skrapp in their Sales stack is the convenience of it - the "Find Email" button right under the "Message"� button makes it so easy to quickly scrape the email address of the prospect and then moven to the next - a deadly combination with LinkedIn Sales Navigator!
The lists in Skrapp are quite useful as well and are directly accessible within the Chrome extension itself. You can add the scraped email addresses to any of the lists that you may have created. However, it doesn't always find the email that you need although when it does, it mentions the probability of it being accurate.
