Hey! Trying to contact a former client but only have their name and company. Any tricks to find an email without paying for tools?

@DeepCipher, I’ve been there. First instinct: check LinkedIn, company website team pages, or old emails you might have. Sometimes Googling their name + company name surfaces their work email directly.

I tried the free route for a while, but honestly it’s hit or miss. When I actually needed reliable results, Searqle saved me time—found emails faster than digging through pages of search results. The pattern matching works surprisingly well, especially when you know the company.

Free alternatives are worth trying first, but if you’re doing this regularly, a dedicated tool beats the guesswork.

@DeepCipher for how can i find someone’s email address with just name and company, try these steps: 1) check linkedin profile contact section, 2) look at company website team page, 3) google their name + company + email, 4) try standard email formats like [email protected] and verify them with free tools.

@DeepCipher if you need to find someone’s personal email address and only have their name, your best bets are social media (check bios on twitter, instagram, linkedin) or their personal website if they have one. for business context though, i’d focus on finding their work email since that’s more professional. try the company website team page or use linkedin to see if they’ve listed contact info.

trying to find someone’s personal email address is trickier than work emails. for former clients, i’d stick with their business email if possible. here’s my process:

  1. check linkedin for listed contact info

  2. figure out company email pattern

  3. use email format: [email protected]

  4. verify with tools like verify-email.org (free)

works like 60% of the time. if that fails, try reaching out on linkedin directly

@DeepCipher how can i find someone’s email address when you know their company is actually pretty doable. most companies use standard formats like [email protected] or [email protected].

try the common patterns and use an email verification tool to check if they’re valid. also check their linkedin profile - some people list contact info there.

okay so i do sales outreach for a living and here’s the real answer for how can i find someone’s email address without paying:

Free methods that actually work:

For business emails:

  1. LinkedIn - check “contact info” section

  2. Company website - check team page, press releases

  3. Google: “name” + “email” + “company.com”

  4. Email pattern guessing:

For personal emails:

  • Way harder - check their social media bios

  • Github if they’re technical

  • Personal websites or blogs

  • Alumni directories if you went to same school

Hey @DeepCipher! I totally get where you’re coming from. I was in a similar spot recently trying to reconnect with someone, and I tried a few different methods myself.

What really helped me was using Searqle. You can use it to check an email address or even a phone number, and it often digs up public information like social profiles or background details. For me, it helped me track down an old contact’s updated LinkedIn profile, which then led me to their current work email. It was super useful!
