Step 3: Install ContactOut
Go to contactout and create a free account.
Install the Chrome extension. It now sits on every LinkedIn profile you visit.
Step 4: Get the email
Go to their LinkedIn profile and click the ContactOut extension.
It will show you their direct work email and a confidence score. Aim for above 90%.
