# How to find prospects and work emails with GetProspect

## Key Takeaways

- In GetProspect, you find prospects by filtering its contact database by job title, industry, company size, and location, or by saving people from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator with its Chrome extension. GetProspect then finds each person's work email and saves them to a list in your account.
- GetProspect finds whoever matches your filters. Deciding who is actually worth contacting, catching people who changed jobs, and keeping track of which addresses are safe to send to is still your job.
- Kite starts from your ideal customer profile, finds matching companies and people with its own built-in research, confirms each person still holds the role, and scores their fit from one to five.
- Kite finds each person's work email with its own email finder, which tries several data providers in turn and verifies every address. It can also check addresses already saved in your GetProspect account with GetProspect's own verifier.
- You end up with a GetProspect list of qualified people, each with a work email, a verification status, and the reason they were chosen, plus a summary of who was skipped and why.

## How do I find prospects and their work emails with GetProspect?

You find prospects and their work emails in GetProspect in one of four ways, depending on where you like to work. The main one is GetProspect's web app, where you filter its database of business contacts by job title, industry, company size, location, and other criteria, then reveal the work emails of the people you want. Each email you reveal uses a credit on your plan. If you prospect on LinkedIn, GetProspect's Chrome extension adds a "Get email" button to a LinkedIn profile, and it can save whole pages of LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search results at once. Its Google Sheets add-on and its bulk upload both take a spreadsheet of names and company domains and return the work emails it finds.

Whichever route you use, the people you save land in a list in your GetProspect account. From there you can verify the addresses with GetProspect's email verifier, export the list as a file, or send it on to your CRM or an email tool.

These tools are good at finding addresses, but they find whoever your filters let through. A few problems tend to slip past them:

- **Broad filters waste credits.** A search for "marketing directors in software" returns thousands of people, and every email you reveal for someone you'd never contact still costs a credit.
- **People change jobs.** A database record can be months old, so a person may have left the company that the email belongs to.
- **Your own customers and competitors get mixed in.** Filters know nothing about who you already sell to or who you compete with.
- **Verification results get lost.** An address marked catch-all means the company's mail server accepts everything, so nobody can confirm the mailbox exists. Once it sits in a spreadsheet next to verified addresses, it looks exactly the same.

A good result is a short list of people who fit your ideal customer profile and still hold the role, each with a work email, a clear verification status, and a reason they're worth contacting now.

Kite does that work for you. It decides who belongs on the list before anyone uses a credit, finds and verifies each person's work email, and saves the finished list to your GetProspect account. Kite's GetProspect connection works with the contacts, companies, and lists in your account and with GetProspect's email verifier. Searching GetProspect's database and running its email finder stay inside GetProspect's own app, extension, and add-on, so Kite finds new people and their emails with its own built-in sources instead.

## How to get started

Start by telling Kite who you want to reach, in the Kite web app or in Slack. You can ask it to build the list from scratch:

> "Find 50 heads of operations at logistics companies in the US with 100 to 1,000 employees, get their work emails, and save them to a new GetProspect list."

Or you can point it at a list you already built in GetProspect:

> "Go through my 'Q4 conference' list in GetProspect, drop anyone who isn't a fit, and verify the emails for everyone else."

Kite is an AI marketer. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. From that research, it already knows your ideal customer profile, your current customers, and your competitors. That means it can propose the job titles, seniority, company size, industries, and locations to target without a long brief. Confirm the profile or adjust it, and Kite starts.

To have Kite read and write your GetProspect contacts and lists, connect your GetProspect account by adding an API key from that account. The verifications Kite runs in GetProspect count against your GetProspect plan, just as your own do. To find new people and their emails, you don't need a GetProspect account at all, because Kite does that with its own built-in research sources.

Saving contacts to GetProspect is routine work, so Kite does it and then tells you what changed. If you'd like to see the list before anything is saved, say so in your request.

## How Kite finds prospects and work emails for your GetProspect account

### Who should be on the list?

Kite turns your ideal customer profile into a search, starting with the companies and then the people who work there. It finds companies by industry, size, and location, and it can narrow them further by headcount growth, funding, the technology they use, or whether they're hiring. Recent company events, such as a funding round or a new leadership hire, often give a timely reason to reach out, so Kite notes them as it goes.

Next, it finds the people at those companies by job title, function, and seniority, and it can narrow by location. Each person comes back with their name, title, company, and LinkedIn profile.

When you start from a list you already built, Kite reads it from your GetProspect account instead. It finds the list by name, reads the contacts saved in it, and works through them in the same way as people it found itself.

### Is each person still a good fit?

Kite checks every person against your profile before it looks up a single email, because an email lookup on the wrong person is wasted. First it confirms that the person still holds the role at that company, using their public professional profile or the company's own pages, and it drops anyone who has moved on. Then it removes your existing customers, your competitors, and anyone who has asked not to hear from you.

Every person who passes gets a fit score from one to five with a one-line reason, such as "VP of operations at a 400-person freight company that just opened two new warehouses." When the list runs past about fifteen people, Kite splits it into primary and secondary groups so you know where to start. If fewer people qualify than you asked for, Kite tells you how many it found and why the rest fell short.

### Finding each person's work email

Kite finds work emails with its own email finder, which takes up to 1,000 people in one request. For each person, it needs either their LinkedIn profile or their full name and company domain. It tries several data providers in turn, and each one handles only the people the providers before it couldn't find.

Kite keeps only a work address at the person's current company. It leaves out personal addresses such as Gmail accounts. When no provider finds a work address, the person is marked as not found, and Kite never guesses an address from the company's email pattern. If a contact from your GetProspect list already has an email saved, Kite keeps that address and checks it rather than looking it up again.

### Which addresses are safe to send to?

Kite verifies every address it finds and labels each one as verified, catch-all, risky, or unverified. For addresses that were already saved in your GetProspect account, it can run GetProspect's own email verifier instead and keep GetProspect's verdict exactly as GetProspect gives it.

Kite then sorts the list into three groups. Verified addresses are ready to send. Catch-all, risky, and unverified addresses need a decision, because nobody can confirm those mailboxes exist, so Kite keeps them apart and tells you how many there are. People with no work address found make up the third group. This keeps a doubtful address from ending up in a campaign looking like a safe one.

### Saving the prospects in GetProspect

Kite saves the finished list to your GetProspect account so your team can work from it there. Before a large job, it checks your workspace's limits to see how many credits and verifications your plan has left, and it tells you if the list is bigger than what remains.

Kite searches the contacts and companies already saved in your account first, so a person you already have gets updated instead of added twice. It then creates a company record for each new account and a contact for each new person, with their name, work email, job title, company, and LinkedIn profile. It creates a named list, such as "US logistics, heads of ops, October", and adds every qualified contact to it. If your team keeps its lists in a CRM or a spreadsheet instead, Kite can save the same people as contacts in a connected CRM such as HubSpot, or as rows in a connected Google Sheet. It can also start an export from GetProspect when you want the list as a file.

### What Kite reports back

When the work is done, Kite posts a summary in the conversation where you asked. It says how many people it considered, how many it dropped before looking up emails and why, and how many landed in each verification group. It also says which GetProspect list it created or updated. The full list comes with it as a table, so you can scan it without opening GetProspect.

From there, Kite can research each person's company and write a personalized email for each primary prospect. Once you approve the campaign, it sends from your team's Kite email address or a connected email product and reports which messages were delivered, which failed, and who replied. If you want new prospects regularly, ask Kite to run the same job every week, and it will add each batch to your GetProspect account and post a summary when it's done.

## What the finished work contains

When Kite finishes, your GetProspect account holds a list of people your team can contact right away, and your conversation with Kite holds the record of how the list was built.

- **The GetProspect list.** A named list in your account with every qualified person, saved as contacts linked to their companies, with their name, work email, title, company, and LinkedIn profile.
- **The ready-to-send group.** The people whose work emails came back verified, which you can put straight into outreach.
- **The needs-a-decision group.** The people whose addresses came back catch-all, risky, or unverified, listed separately so you can choose whether to include them.
- **The not-found and dropped lists.** The people with no work address found, and the people Kite removed before looking anyone up, such as job changers and current customers, each with the reason.
- **The summary table.** Every person with their fit score and its reason, their email and its verification status, and any recent company event worth mentioning in a first email.

## Common questions

### Is GetProspect free to use?

Yes, GetProspect has a free plan, and its website advertises 50 valid emails a month on it. Paid plans add more email credits, verifications, and phone numbers. Every email you reveal uses a credit, so a tight filter matters more on a small plan.

### Can I find work emails through LinkedIn?

Yes. GetProspect's Chrome extension adds a "Get email" button to LinkedIn profiles and can save whole pages of LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search results with their work emails. Kite's email finder also accepts a person's LinkedIn profile on its own, so you can share a list of LinkedIn profile links and ask Kite for the work email behind each one.

### Do I need a GetProspect account for Kite to find prospects and work emails?

No. Kite finds companies, people, and professional email addresses with its own built-in research sources, so you don't need any extra account. Connect GetProspect when your team already pays for it and keeps its prospect lists there, or when you want Kite to verify the addresses already saved in your account.

### Can Kite check old email addresses before a re-engagement campaign?

Yes. Old addresses are the ones most likely to bounce, because people change jobs. Point Kite at a GetProspect list of past leads, and it runs the saved addresses through GetProspect's email verifier, confirms which people still hold their role, and tells you which addresses are safe to send to before you write to anyone.
