Best of · Leads
The best sources for B2B leads are LinkedIn people search to find the right person, the contacts lookup to reach them by work email or phone, and Google Maps search for local businesses, because together they cover who to call, how to reach them and where they are. LinkedIn company search and job listings on LinkedIn and Indeed tell you which accounts to work first.

Give up to ten LinkedIn /in/ handles and get each person's work email and mobile number. Ask for email only when that is enough, add verify to check each address before it counts, and ask for another source when a value is wrong. It is the one source here that is not read from public pages; it is priced per call, and a part you already own is free.
