LinkedIn hides information from you

LinkedIn might be the leader in social networking for the professionals, still it doesn’t always show you some reliable informations about the person you are looking for.

“Get email” will always need some informations such as: first name, last name and the company name. So when you get to a profile that doesn’t contain those informations, for example if you find “LinkedIn Member” the tool will be unable to find the email address for you.

So, the rule is simple:

No name on the Linked In profile, No email found with GetEmail.io!

See below:
linkedin member

The reasons why Linked In shows “Linked In Member” instead of the real name of the person is: you have a connection degree of more than 2 with that person (you’re not directly connected to that person, neither is a person you’re connected with).

To be clear, say you’re visiting profile P and you want his/her name.

You’ll have his/her name if:

You                 -(connected to)->                 Somebody 1                 -(connected to)->                 Profile P

Instead of the name of Profile P, you’ll have “LinkedIn Member”, if:

You                 -(connected to)->                 Somebody 1                 -(connected to)->                 Somebody 2                -(connected to)->                Profile P

Clear enough? I hope so 🙂

If you want to know everyone’s name on Linked In, you might need a paid LinkedIn subscription, which will allow you to see the names of any profile you’re looking for.

Enjoy GetEmail.io & LinkedIn

How do I get the best possible email accuracy with GetEmail.io?

Hello everyone,

Many of our new users test GetEmail.io a bit, get what they think as bad emails, and then draw the conclusion that GetEmail.io is not reliable.

Email validation services are NOT reliable

So first of all, let’s talk about how to find out if an email is good or bad. There are email validation services on the Internet (such as mailtester.com, neverbounce.com, etc … check this article for detailed information : https://www.accuwebhosting.com/blog/2014/09/29/top-10-bulk-email-list-verification-validation-services-compared/ ). However, these services ARE NOT 100% reliable (because of the limits of the technology they use), that is, sometimes a correct email will be analyzed as bad, and other times a bad email will be analyzed as good.

So, if you test the emails GetEmail.io finds against these platforms, this will not prove the emails are good or bad.

GetEmail.io does not turn mud into gold

One of the main reasons why the emails are NOT good is that the data you provide is NOT good. That is, in order to find the right email addresses, our algorithm needs to have good input data: name and company of the people whose emails you’re looking for. If you provide poor quality data, that is, false/incorrect names, outdated information about companies where people work, this will ultimately lead to unreliable emails. We’re able to correct this up to a certain point, but definitely the more accurate the data you provide, the more accurate the emails you’ll get.

We’re  Artificial Intelligence and Big Data experts, we’re not alchemists, we cannot turn mud into gold 🙂

GetEmail.io takes up to 10 minutes to fully find & verify the validity of an email address

However, sometimes, it may happen that GetEmail gives you wrong email addresses. If this is your case, it is BECAUSE YOU DID NOT USE GETEMAIL CORRECTLY.

Please read below how to proceed in order to have up to 97% OF CORRECT EMAILS.

When GetEmail.io searches for a particular email address, it launches lots of processes in parallel, in order to find the email you’re looking for, in real time. After a couple of seconds, most of the time, we’ve already found a possible email address, even if we’re not yet sure this is the good one. Because you want a correct email address, but you also need it quickly, we’ve set up a trade off between speed and reliability. So when you’ve sent a request to GetEmail.io we’ll display the email address we reasonably think is the good one as fast as possible. After we give it to you (by the way, with all sorts of warnings and disclaimers, if you read our comments), we continue to fully test the email we’ve found, until we’re sure it is the correct one.

The complete process of searching an email takes 10 minutes, sometimes more. It’s only after this, that we’re able to give you a reliable email address.

This is why some email addresses we provide are bad: because we’ve displayed them for you before we were able to fully test them.

How to use GetEmail.io in order to GET THE BEST EMAIL ADDRESSES IN THE WORLD

Please proceed as follows :

  1. send as many requests as you want, insert as many prospects as you want into GetEmail.io. You can do this by using the Google Chrome Extension, by our API, by hand one by one, by uploading an CSV, etc …
  2. wait for 10 minutes
  3. extract the prospects you’ve harvested by downloading the CSV file with all your contacts

Now, some of you will say, “deah … wait for 10 minutes for every email is too much”. NO, you don’t have to add a prospect, wait 10 minutes, then add another one, etc … You just add all of them as fast as possible, in parallel, then, when you’re done, wait for 10 minutes (once), and download all of them at once.

Regards,

How many credits do we use on GetEmail.io?

Hello,

Many of you wonder how many credits they will pay when they use GetEmail.io, so here’s a clear explanation of how it works.

If you’re using the Google Chrome Extension

When our algorithm is searching for an email, it will follow 2 steps :

Step 1. SEARCH for the email.

Step 2. VERIFY the email, to make sure it’s the right one.

When using our Google Chrome Extension, the “Step1. SEARCH” will take 1 credit, but “Step 2. VERIFICATION” is free.

So, there are 3 possibilities :

  1. We have not found any email. You don’t use any credit.
  2. We have found an email, and it passed the verification procedure, it’s most likely a good email. You’ll use 1 credit.
  3. We have found a possible email, but it DID NOT pass the verification procedure, son the email is NOT good. You’ll still use 1 credit, because we’ve used a lot of computing ressource to find that out. You’ll use 1 credit.

If you use our “VERIFY” feature

Every email verification will use 1 credit. If you send several times the same request, it will not use any additional credit.

If you use our “COMPANY” feature

Every request will take 1 credit. However, please be aware that the emails are NOT verified. If you want to make sure the emails are correct, you have to pass them through the “VERIFY” feature, and eliminate the bad ones.

Regards,

How to write a successful follow-up email?

Relance email

You sent your first email and you didn’t receive as much aswers as you hope ? You should know that it is extremely rare to turn your prpspects into client with the first email. The follow up by email multiplicate by 5 the return rate! GetEmail will give you a few techniques to improve your follow-up emails.

  • When to follow-up? And how many reminders should you send? : If you send too much emails, your prospect will feel harassed, but if you don’t send enough, you take the risk of being forgotten. You should not send more than 7 follow-up emails. They should be spaced out but of good quality.
  • You can use the “Have you received my previous email?” techniques. This is called the copywritting. The trick is to copy your first email. We can see that many people who didn’t read your previous message, read this one. Wait 2-3 days before you send it.
  • Don’t send your follow-up email to anybody! Your reminder has to personalized according to your prospect : did he read your email? is it an user? The more you will split, the more you will have the chance to send the right message to the right person. There are email marketing tools such as MailChimp that allows a precise segmentation and the production of follow-up storylines.
  • How to make a follow-up email to an inactive client? A client is said inactive when he hasn’t bought you anyhting for 1 year. Yet again, you have to split well your inactive clients according to their last purchase to be compatible with their situation. Highlight the advantages of your products/services. Propose them special offers. In short, make them understand that they are well advised to trust you once again.
  • Be attractive : Give your prospects relevant information, that can be of interest to them!
  • Be different : If your first email was not convincing, you can follow-up with your prospect in talking about another advantage of your product or service, that might be more seductive.
  • You can propose to fix a phone call appointment. Asking a Yes/No will improve your response rate.
