SalesQL enhances LinkedIn searches by finding phone numbers and email addresses for each of your targets – even when you haven’t connected with them.

We identify where the contact is currently working and use multiple public sources of information, as well as data engineering, to search and validate their contact details in seconds.

Every time you add a profile to your account, SalesQL can take up to 2 minutes to search and validate their email addresses and phone numbers. This ensures a high degree of accuracy and allows us to explore every possible avenue when searching for results.

What percentage of emails are we able to retrieve?

We can find active, accurate email addresses for the vast majority of LinkedIn profiles.

As a general metric, we are able to retrieve direct, business-focused emails for 70-80% of profiles, although the precise figure depends on the industry, geographic region, and other key factors.

The amount of information provided in the LinkedIn profile is also important. If your target clearly indicates their current employer, this is extremely helpful when SalesQL searches for their address.


Additionally, industries like Technology and IT, Financial Services, Human Resources, and Recruitment are more likely to engage in data collection compared to less active sectors such as Hospitality and Tourism, Healthcare, Agriculture, and Forestry, among others.

What percentage of mobile phone numbers are we able to retrieve?

SalesQL usually relies on finding mobile phone numbers from the LinkedIn profile itself, and the number is typically used for professional purposes.

The telephone numbers can be personal or of the companies where the contact works. The company's phone numbers are not from the internal line.

Generally, we are able to retrieve mobile phone numbers for around 10-20% of profiles.


How can I determine if I will get the right results for my work needs?

Currently, all users who meet the requirements for a professional account can receive some free credits to test some contacts and see if SalesQL suits their work needs. Telephone numbers are not included in the free trial. Only accounts with an active paid plan will be able to access the phone numbers.
