ProspectBuddy

ProspectBuddy is the definitive growth engine for modern sales and recruitment teams, transforming the chaotic world of LinkedIn prospecting into a streamlined, scalable workflow. Built for founders, operators, recruiters, and sales professionals, it bridges the gap between LinkedIn's vast network and the structured environments of Airtable and Trello. The core value proposition is powerful yet simple: eliminate the manual, error-prone grind of copy-pasting profile data. With a single click, users can capture a LinkedIn profile and instantly create a rich, structured record in their preferred database, complete with verified contact details. Crucially, ProspectBuddy champions a safe, manual, and fully compliant approach. It empowers your team to prospect with precision and control, avoiding the risks associated with automation bots. This focus on manual enhancement, combined with AI-powered message generation and smart data capture, allows teams to scale their outreach intelligently, maintain pristine data hygiene, and accelerate pipeline velocity without compromising on safety or personalization.

One-Click Save to Airtable or Trello

Transform your prospecting workflow from tedious to instantaneous. ProspectBuddy's core feature allows you to save any LinkedIn profile directly to your connected Airtable base or Trello board with a single click. This action automatically parses the profile and creates a new, structured record or card, capturing key information and eliminating hours of manual data entry. It ensures your CRM is always updated in real-time, keeping your sales or recruitment pipeline organized and actionable without ever leaving LinkedIn.

Verified Email & Phone Number Discovery

Go beyond public profile data and unlock direct contact channels. ProspectBuddy includes powerful enrichment capabilities that find verified business emails and direct phone numbers for prospects. This feature is designed for B2B outreach, requiring a business email to reveal phone numbers, ensuring high-quality, compliant data. By providing accurate contact information, it dramatically increases the reachability of your leads and the success rate of your outreach campaigns, turning profiles into actionable contacts.

AI-Powered Outreach Message Generation

Craft personalized, high-converting messages in seconds, not hours. Leveraging the profile data you've just captured, ProspectBuddy's AI analyzes the prospect's experience, skills, and job history to generate tailored outreach drafts. This allows your team to maintain a personal touch at scale, increasing engagement rates while saving immense time on research and copywriting. It’s the perfect tool for scaling personalized communication without sacrificing quality or authenticity.

Customizable LinkedIn Data Capture

Take control of your data and capture only what matters for your workflow. Not every field on a LinkedIn profile is relevant to your process. ProspectBuddy lets you select specific data points—like name, current role, skills, about section, or job experience—and map them precisely to your Airtable or Trello fields. This ensures your database remains clean, consistent, and tailored to your team's unique tracking and segmentation needs, preventing data bloat and enhancing reporting accuracy.

Scaling a B2B Sales Pipeline

Sales teams can systematically build a qualified lead pipeline directly from LinkedIn. By instantly saving prospect profiles to Airtable with verified emails, reps can focus on engaging rather than data entry. The AI-generated messages help kickstart personalized outreach, allowing teams to contact more potential clients with relevant messaging, ultimately shortening sales cycles and driving predictable revenue growth.

Streamlining Recruitment & Talent Sourcing

Recruiters and hiring managers can efficiently manage candidate pipelines. Sourcing on LinkedIn and saving profiles directly to a Trello board or Airtable base creates a visual, organized hiring pipeline. Each candidate becomes a structured card with all essential details, enabling seamless collaboration among hiring teams, faster screening, and consistent communication, all while keeping candidate data centralized and secure.

Founders & Operators Building Strategic Partnerships

Founders and business development professionals can identify and track potential partners, investors, or key hires. ProspectBuddy allows them to quickly capture profiles of important contacts into a dedicated database. This facilitates organized follow-up, relationship tracking, and strategic outreach, helping to build a valuable network and pursue growth opportunities without losing critical contact details in scattered spreadsheets.

Enhancing Agency Lead Generation Workflows

Marketing and service agencies prospecting for new clients can dramatically improve their lead management. By saving potential client profiles from LinkedIn into their shared Airtable workspace, teams ensure no lead falls through the cracks. The structured data allows for easy segmentation and assignment, while verified contact info and AI message drafts accelerate the initial outreach process, improving conversion rates from prospecting efforts.

How do I connect ProspectBuddy to Airtable?

Connecting is a quick, one-click process. Simply navigate to the Connect screen or your Profile within the ProspectBuddy extension and select "Airtable." You will be prompted to select the specific bases or workspaces you wish to grant access to. Click "Grant access," and the connection is complete. The status will be displayed on your Profile page, and you can disconnect at any time with full control over your data permissions.

Is ProspectBuddy safe to use with LinkedIn?

Absolutely. ProspectBuddy is engineered explicitly for safe, manual prospecting. It does not perform any automated actions, scraping, or bot-like behavior on your behalf. You remain in full control, manually initiating every save and enrichment from within your browser while viewing a LinkedIn profile. This manual approach ensures full compliance with LinkedIn's Terms of Service, making it a safer and more sustainable alternative to risky automation tools.

What can I spend credits on in ProspectBuddy?

Credits are used for specific value-added actions within the extension. The primary use is for conducting a verified email search, which costs 10 credits per search. Importantly, credits are only consumed if a valid business email is successfully found. If no email is discovered, you are not charged. This ensures you only pay for successful, high-quality data enrichment that directly contributes to your outreach success.

Why don't I see all my Airtable fields when mapping data?

ProspectBuddy supports specific, compatible Airtable field types to ensure data integrity. Supported types include: Attachment (for photos), URL, Text (for names, subtitles, skills, etc.), Email, and Phone. If a field in your Airtable table is of an unsupported type (like a checkbox, rating, or formula), it will not appear in the mapping dropdown. This design prevents errors and ensures clean data transfers between platforms.
