How to Prospect from a LinkedIn Profile

The extension recognises LinkedIn member profiles and switches from company mode to person mode.

Open a profile

Go to any LinkedIn profile (a linkedin.com/in/... page) with the panel open. The Search tab immediately shows a person card with their photo, name, headline, and current company — read straight from the page, so it works for anyone, whether or not they're in the SalesTarget database.

In the background, the extension also matches the profile against SalesTarget to pull in their contact details and employer record.

View the details

Click the person card (or the chevron) to expand View details. You'll see:

Contact

  • Email and phone, masked with a reveal button beside each

  • Location

  • LinkedIn URL

Company

  • The employer's logo, name, and industry

  • Employees, location, website, and LinkedIn

  • Firmographics and Technographics accordions you can unlock with credits

If the person isn't in SalesTarget

You'll still see everything visible on their profile — name, headline, company, location, photo — but the Contact section says:

This person isn't in SalesTarget yet, so email & phone aren't available.

There's nothing to unlock in that case, and no credits are spent.

On LinkedIn, but not on a profile

If you're on the LinkedIn feed, a search results page, or a company page, the panel shows "Open a LinkedIn Profile to Start Prospecting". Open someone's profile and the panel switches over automatically.

LinkedIn itself is never treated as a company to prospect — you won't get "LinkedIn's employees" when you're browsing the feed.

Moving between profiles

Navigate from one profile to another and the panel follows along, re-reading and re-matching each time. You don't have to close and reopen it.
