How to Send an Email to the Currently Opened LinkedIn User

Sending an email to a LinkedIn user whose profile you're currently viewing can be a valuable way to make a professional connection, whether you're networking, job hunting, or seeking sales leads. While LinkedIn itself offers direct messaging through InMail for premium members, there are several ways to find and send an email to a LinkedIn user directly, even if you're not connected or don't have a premium account.

Finding the Email Address

The first step in sending an email to a LinkedIn user is finding their email address. This can be done manually or by using specialized tools and extensions. If you're connected to the user, you might find their email address listed under their contact info on their profile. However, for users you're not connected with, or who haven't listed their email publicly, you'll need to employ other methods.

Manual Search: Sometimes, users include their email addresses in their profile summary or posts. A careful look through these sections might reveal the email you're looking for.

Use LinkedIn's Export Feature: For your connections, LinkedIn allows you to export your connections' data, including email addresses. Go to 'Settings & Privacy' > 'Data Privacy' > 'How LinkedIn uses your data' and select 'Get a copy of your data'. Choose 'Connections' and submit the request. LinkedIn will email you a file containing your connections' email addresses.

Email Finder Tools: Various online tools and Chrome extensions, like Hunter.io, Skrapp.io, or GetProspect, can help find email addresses based on the LinkedIn profile you're viewing. These tools often offer a number of free searches per month, with the option to pay for more extensive use.

Sending the Email

Once you have the email address, compose your email thoughtfully. Whether you're reaching out for networking, job opportunities, or sales, personalize your message to make a good impression. Mention how you found their email and why you're reaching out to increase your chances of receiving a response.

Remember to keep your message professional, concise, and respectful of the recipient's time. A clear subject line that indicates the purpose of your email can also help ensure your message gets noticed.
