ProspectBuddy

Alright, let's break it down. ProspectBuddy is your new bestie for LinkedIn prospecting that doesn't get you in trouble. Think of it as the ultimate wingman for sales teams, recruiters, founders, and anyone who needs to find and manage leads without the soul-crushing grind of manual copy-pasting. It's a slick Chrome extension that sits right there on LinkedIn, letting you snag a profile and zap it directly into your Airtable or Trello with ONE click. No more tab-hopping, no more formatting nightmares. It turns messy LinkedIn info into clean, structured data you can actually use. The best part? It's built for manual prospecting. This isn't some sketchy bot that'll spam people and get your account nuked. You're in the driver's seat, staying LinkedIn-compliant while getting superpowers like finding verified emails, generating AI icebreakers, and capturing only the deets you need. It's basically for anyone who's tired of busywork and wants their prospecting workflow to be fast, clean, and low-key genius.

One-Click Save to Airtable/Trello

This is the core magic. See a promising lead on LinkedIn? Instead of the old copy-paste-juggle-between-tabs dance, you just hit the ProspectBuddy button. It instantly parses the profile and sends all the structured data (name, title, company, etc.) directly into your pre-connected Airtable base or Trello board. It turns minutes of manual entry into a literal one-second task, keeping your CRM organized without you lifting a finger (well, except for that one click).

Verified Email & Phone Hunter

Ditch the guesswork and shady email lookup services. Right from the LinkedIn profile, ProspectBuddy can hunt down that lead's verified business email and, for B2B users, even a direct phone number. It uses credits for this search (only charges if it finds something), so you're not burning cash on dead ends. It's like having a private investigator for contact info, built straight into your browser.

AI-Powered Message Writer

Staring at a blank "Hi..." message is the worst. ProspectBuddy's AI steps in as your personal copywriter. It uses the data from the LinkedIn profile you're viewing to generate a personalized, tailored outreach message in seconds. It pulls in specific details about their job, skills, or experience, so your message doesn't sound like a lazy blast. It's the cheat code for making your cold outreach feel warm and relevant.

Custom Field Capture (No Data Bloat)

You don't always need every single detail from a LinkedIn profile. ProspectBuddy lets you be picky. You can create custom settings to map and capture only the specific fields you care about—like just the name, company, and recent job title—and send only that to your CRM. This keeps your database clean, consistent, and free from irrelevant info, making your lists actually useful.

Sales Teams Building Pipelines

For sales reps and SDRs living on LinkedIn, this is a game-changer. They can rapidly research prospects, capture their info directly into the team's Airtable sales pipeline, grab verified emails for outreach, and use the AI to draft a killer first line for their email or InMail. It turns hours of prospecting prep into a streamlined, click-and-go process, letting them focus on actually selling.

Recruiters Managing Talent Pipelines

Recruiters can spot a perfect candidate on LinkedIn and, with one click, add them as a structured card to their Trello hiring board or Airtable talent pool. All the candidate's details—skills, experience, current role—are captured cleanly. This eliminates manual entry errors, saves hours per week, and keeps the entire candidate pipeline organized and searchable in one place.

Founders & Solopreneurs Doing It All

Founders wearing multiple hats (sales, hiring, partnerships) need efficiency. ProspectBuddy acts as their free virtual assistant. They can build lead lists, research potential partners or investors, and manage all contacts in their personal Airtable—all without switching contexts or learning complex software. It's a force multiplier for a one-person show.

Agencies Running Client Outreach

Marketing or PR agencies running outreach campaigns for clients can use ProspectBuddy to build targeted contact lists from LinkedIn. They can ensure data consistency by capturing specific fields for each campaign, find verified contact points, and generate personalized message drafts at scale. This maintains a high-touch, manual approach for better results while operating much faster.

Is ProspectBuddy safe to use with LinkedIn?

Totally safe. ProspectBuddy is built specifically for safe, manual prospecting. It does NOT automate actions, send messages, or auto-connect for you. You control every click. You're just using it as a tool to save data from profiles you are actively viewing, which is way safer than using sketchy bulk scraping tools or bots that risk your account getting restricted.

How do I connect my Airtable or Trello?

It's stupid easy. Click the "Connect" button in the extension, choose Airtable or Trello, and grant access to the specific bases or boards you want to use. It takes like two minutes, with zero tech setup headaches. Once connected, you can manage or disconnect it anytime from your Profile page in the extension.

How do the credits work?

Credits are like your in-app currency. You buy a pack (e.g., $10 for 500 credits) securely via Stripe, and your balance updates automatically. You spend credits on premium actions, mainly for searching verified emails (10 credits per search, only charged if found). It's a pay-as-you-go model for the powerful stuff, while the basic profile saving is free.

What if I don't see all my Airtable fields when mapping?

ProspectBuddy supports specific Airtable field types for compatibility. It works with: Text (for names, titles, etc.), Email, Phone, URL, and Attachment (for profile photos). If you have a fancy field type like a checkbox or rating, it won't show up in the dropdown to map. You'll need to use a supported field type in your Airtable base to capture that data.
