In this solo tutorial, Joe Apfelbaum demonstrates how to extract contact information—emails, phone numbers, and domain‑based leads—from LinkedIn using the Evy/Evvy AI browser and phone extension. He walks through a step‑by‑step workflow: locating a prospect’s LinkedIn profile, using Evy AI’s “Find Prospects” feature to search by email or company domain, pulling the resulting contact details, and pushing them into an organized note that syncs with a CRM. He also showcases how the AI assistant can draft personalized messages and comments in the user’s voice, create custom AI personas, and automate bulk outreach such as inviting 100 contacts to an event via direct messages while tracking relationship history. Throughout, he frames LinkedIn as a powerful platform that only fails when users don’t leverage its data, positioning Evy AI as the tool that turns raw LinkedIn data into actionable, relationship‑focused sales activities.

LinkedIn doesn't work, blah blah blah blah blah. It's not that LinkedIn doesn't work, is that you're not working the platform. What's powerful about this platform is that because we have 280 million records in the platform, you could literally find almost anybody's information on that's on LinkedIn. We're going to learn how to find emails. On LinkedIn. That's, that's the whole deal today. What am I doing here? I am building relationships on LinkedIn. As you can see, leaving comments on people's posts, posting, engaging, and messaging. That's, that's what I do every day. I build relationships. What's powerful about this platform is that because we have 280 million records in the platform, you can literally find almost anybody's information on— that's on LinkedIn. So think about it this way. He engaged with my post on LinkedIn. He gave it a like. And because he gave it a like, I went to his contact info to try to get his cell phone number. His cell phone number wasn't there. So I selected his email, went into Evy AI, clicked on Network, Find Prospects on the top, clicked on Email, searched his email. And when I searched his email, boom, his profile came up. Now what you could also do is you could also look at people up based on their domain name. So I'll give you another example. So let's say I'm on LinkedIn and I find somebody that works at a company and I want to do business with that person, maybe Michael Balsamo. You see, what I can do is I can find out what his website is, like the Sage Advisory Group, and then I can check inside Evy AI. I can do a domain lookup to see if I have any details about anybody that works there. And in this case, I don't have the details about it. But of course, I can go to the website itself and click on contact info inside the website. I can see if there's any contact I do have a bunch of contact info here. Do you see? Michael at the Sage Advisory Group. So I can easily push all this information into the extension next to Michael's name. Isn't it incredible how much information you're able to find on somebody? I like your framing on hospitality, potential business opportunities. This is really good. So I'm going to take these 15 things. I'm going to go ahead and add it as a note here. And now I have Michael's information stored right here in an organized way. What I really enjoy doing is using this artificial intelligence assistant to help me get all the information that I need to be able to put it right into my CRM to connect and build relationships with people.
