There are 3 ways to get emails from LinkedIn Sales Navigator:
Check the "Contact info" section manually on each profile
Use the "About section" to find self-listed emails
Use a scraping tool like GiveMeLeads to export emails in bulk
The first two methods are free but slow. You'll only find emails for a fraction of your leads, and most of them will be personal addresses like Gmail or Hotmail.
The third option is the fastest and most reliable. You get verified business emails for hundreds of leads in just a few clicks.

In this guide, we cover all 3 methods in detail so you can pick the one that fits your workflow.

3 Manual Methods to Find Emails from LinkedIn
These methods are free. But they have real limitations. We'll cover those right after.
Method 1: Check the Contact Info on a LinkedIn Profile
This is the most straightforward way. Here's how to do it:
Go to the person's LinkedIn profile
Click on "Contact info" just below their name and headline
Look for an email address in the panel that opens

On "Contact info", you may find some informations:
LinkedIn URL
Email
Phone number
Birthday
Connected since
Website
Sometimes, you’ll see an email listed.

And if you're lucky, you can even find phone number.

The problem is that most people don't add their email to their LinkedIn profile. And when they do, it's often a personal address like Gmail or Hotmail, which is not ideal for cold outreach.
Method 2: Check the Contact Info Directly on Sales Navigator
You can do the same thing without leaving Sales Navigator. Here's how:
Open a lead's profile inside Sales Navigator
Click on "View full profile" or look for the contact details panel on the right side
Check if an email is listed under their contact information

This saves you from switching tabs, but the result is the same. You'll only see emails that the person has chosen to make visible, which is rare.
The catch: This only works for 1st-degree connections. If you're not already connected with the lead, LinkedIn hides their contact details completely.
Method 3: Check the About Section on Sales Navigator
Some people drop their email directly in their About section or headline. Here's how to find it:
Open the lead's profile on Sales Navigator
Scroll down to the About section
Read through it and look for an email address
Some people write something like "Reach me at john@company.com" in their bio. It's rare, but it happens.

The catch: This is completely manual. You have to open every profile one by one and read through each bio. At scale, it's not realistic.
4 Limitations to Manually Search Emails on Sales Navigator
These 3 methods can work for a small number of leads. But they don't scale.
You'll run into 4 problems every time:
You need to be 1st-degree connection
Few emails found
Lots of personal emails
Unverified emails
Problem 1: You Need to Be a 1st-Degree Connection
LinkedIn hides most contact information from people you're not connected with.
If you're reaching out to 2nd or 3rd-degree connections (which is most of your prospects), you won't see their email. You won't even see their phone number.
This alone makes manual search useless for cold outreach at scale.

Problem 2: Very Few Emails Are Listed
Even if you are connected with someone, there's no guarantee they've added their email to their profile.
Most people simply don't. LinkedIn is not an email directory. It's a professional network. People don't come here to share their contact details with strangers.
In practice, you'll find an email for maybe 5 to 10% of your leads. That's not enough to build a real prospecting list.

Problem 3: Most Emails Are Personal Addresses
When someone does list an email on LinkedIn, it's often a Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo address.
That's a problem for cold outreach. Personal email addresses have lower deliverability, higher bounce rates, and they're harder to verify. You want business emails like john@company.com, not john.smith92@gmail.com.
Sending cold emails to personal addresses also hurts your sender reputation over time.

Problem 4: You Can't Verify If the Email Still Works
Even if you find an email, you have no way to know if it's still active.
People change jobs. They abandon old inboxes. They update their contact info without telling anyone.
If you send cold emails to unverified addresses, you'll get bounces. Too many bounces damage your domain reputation and kill your deliverability, meaning even your good emails start landing in spam.
That's exactly why tools like GiveMeLeads exist.

Step 4: Launch your export
You target is set up. Now it's time to export your leads.
For that, click on "New Export".

You will get a pop-up where you can select:
The number of leads you want to export
If you want to get the verified emails (of all leads or filtered leads only)
If you want to schedule this export on a weekly basis.
Then click on "Export Leads".

Step 5: Schedule Your Leads Export (Optional)
GiveMeLeads lets you schedule lead exports. Pick the day you want, and you’ll receive fresh leads weekly.
Once set up, you'll get a fresh list of leads every week — automatically.

Each lead is unique, and the system ensures there are no duplicates. This saves you time and keeps your CRM clean, so you can focus on outreach, not data cleaning.
Then, you’ll automatically receive new leads every week — no manual work needed.
You can focus 100% on what really matters: sending emails, starting LinkedIn conversations, and booking meetings.

💡 Pro tip: With scheduled exports, you can easily build lead files with more than 2,500 fresh, qualified contacts delivered straight to your inbox every week.
Step 6: Download your leads file
When your export is finished, you’ll receive an email with a download link.

You can also download your file directly by clicking the "Download" button in your dashboard. You’ll see two options.

"Open in Sheets"
This gives you a simple version of your lead list.
You have:
Source (Sales Navigator, 1st-degree, profile viewers…)
First Name
Last Name
Profile picture
Company name
Job title
Headline
LinkedIn URL
Email
It doesn’t include all the data, but it’s perfect if you just want to import leads into your CRM or a B2B outreach tool like Lemlist or Expandi.

"Download CSV"
This gives you the full file with all available data. For each lead, you’ll see extra info like:
Whether they have LinkedIn Premium
Their total years of experience
Company details like size, industry, and location
Etc
Here's all the informations you can have:
filters | source | source_info | first_name | last_name | linkedin_url | linkedin_id | email_status | job_title | location | profile_picture_url | recent_posts_count | connection_degree | is_premium | is_open | headline | summary | current_companies_count | company_name | company_linkedin_id | company_website | company_location | company_industry | company_employee_count | company_employee_count_range | company_type | company_year_founded | company_specialties | company_description | duration_in_company | duration_in_role | |

💡 Pro tip: Don’t forget to scroll horizontally — there's a lot of valuable data in your lead file, including job titles, company size, verified emails, and even intent signals.
On top of that, GiveMeLeads automatically cleans your data:
Fixes capital letters in names and job titles
Removes emojis from job titles
Removes legal suffixes in company names (like LLC, GmbH, etc.)
Field | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
First Name | john | John |
Job Title | 🚀 CEO & Founder | CEO & Founder |
Company Name | Stripe GmbH | Stripe |

GiveMeLeads also checks if each lead matches your LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters.
If a lead doesn’t fit — for example, they have:
An invalid job title
Invalid location
Wrong company size work
Etc
We tag them in the column "filters" with the reason they’re invalid (like “Invalid job title” or “Wrong company size”).
That way, you keep full control of your data and don’t waste time guessing why a lead doesn’t match your targeting.


What to Do When You Can't Find Someone's Email
Sometimes you won't find an email for a lead. It happens. But it doesn't mean you can't reach them.
Here are 2 ways to contact them directly on LinkedIn.
Option 1: Send a LinkedIn Message or Connection Request
If you're already connected with the lead (1st-degree), you can message them for free directly from their profile.
If you're not connected yet (2nd or 3rd degree), send a connection request first. You can add a short personalized note to increase your acceptance rate.
Once they accept, you can start a conversation.
This works well for warm outreach or when you want to build a relationship before pitching.
Option 2: Send an InMail
InMails let you message anyone on LinkedIn, even if you're not connected.
They go straight to the recipient's main inbox, which makes them more visible than a cold email landing in a promotions folder.

You get a fixed number of InMail credits every month depending on your LinkedIn plan (LinkedIn Premium, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and LinkedIn Recruiter):
LinkedIn Plan | Monthly InMail Credits |
|---|---|
Premium Career | 5 |
Premium Business | 15 |
Sales Navigator Core | 50 |
Sales Navigator Advanced / Advanced Plus | 50 |
Recruiter Lite | 30 |
LinkedIn Recruiter | 150 |
💡 Pro tip: If the person replies within 90 days, LinkedIn refunds your InMail credit automatically, even if they just say no.
🎥 If you want to know how to use InMail properly, you can follow this video tutorial:
How to Export LinkedIn Sales Navigator Leads with emails to Your CRM
LinkedIn Sales Navigator offers native CRM integrations… But only if you’re on the Advanced Plus plan.
It doesn't work with the Core and Advanced plan.
The Advance plan doesn’t have public pricing, and to get access, you need to talk to LinkedIn’s sales team.
But in short: it’s expensive, and mostly designed for large sales teams.

How to export leads to your CRM without Advanced Plus
If syncing leads to your CRM is part of your workflow, you have a much simpler option:
👉 Use GiveMeLeads and import your leads in your CRM.
With GiveMeLeads, you can export your LinkedIn Sales Navigator leads with verified business emails in just a few clicks.
Once your leads are exported to CSV, simply import the file into your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive… they all support this).

No tech setup. No enterprise pricing. Just your leads, ready to work with.
