In most cases, to find leads, click on people database if you’re starting from scratch.
Start with the people tab to find leads.
You can start building your list by geography, company size, or other filters. Since we’ve already done our homework, and have company names and their LinkedIn URLs, that’s where we’ll start.
I’m going to start with a .csv file of company names and the company LinkedIn URLs. These are the top cybersecurity software companies.
Click on Contacts.
In the upper right, click Import new contacts
Click CSV import at the top of the page
Not that you can also do a LinkedIn import from your leads. To import from LinkedIn, you need the Chrome extension. If you don’t have it, go to the Chrome Web Store:

Click to upload, or drag and drop your .csv file.
Map the fields the way that lemlist names them. Click Continue in the lower right.
You can find verified emails, phone numbers, LinkedIn URLs, or verify existing emails. We’re just selecting emails since we’re limited on credits during the free trial. Click Push to contacts.
You can add add LinkedIn actions into your sequence:
If someone doesn’t check their email, use a condition to follow up on another platform. For example, if they don’t open your email after a few days, send a LinkedIn invite.
You can also add follow-ups. If a prospect engages with your emails (like clicking a link), you can add a phone call to move things forward.
