ProspectBuddy

ProspectBuddy is your ultimate partner in transforming LinkedIn prospecting from a chaotic, time-consuming chore into a streamlined, powerful engine for growth. Built for the modern professional who values precision and control, it is a Chrome extension that seamlessly bridges the gap between LinkedIn and your workflow in Airtable or Trello. Imagine finding a perfect lead and, with a single click, capturing their verified contact details, professional background, and key insights directly into your organized CRM—no more frantic tab-switching, error-prone copy-pasting, or data decay. ProspectBuddy is designed for sales teams, recruiters, founders, and operators who believe in the power of manual, personalized outreach but are held back by inefficient data handling. Its core mission is to empower you to prospect smarter, not harder, by eliminating administrative friction and letting you focus on what truly matters: building genuine connections. By prioritizing safety and LinkedIn compliance, it offers a sustainable alternative to risky automation bots, putting you firmly in the driver's seat of your networking success. This is more than a tool; it's a transformation of your daily workflow, turning scattered efforts into a consistent, high-impact system for driving pipeline and opportunity.

One-Click Save to Airtable or Trello

Revolutionize your data entry by instantly saving any LinkedIn profile as a structured record in your connected Airtable base or Trello board. This feature eliminates the tedious, error-prone process of manual copying and pasting across windows. With a single click, you capture clean, consistent lead data directly where your team works, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and your pipeline stays perfectly organized from the very first touchpoint.

Verified Email & Phone Discovery

Unlock direct contact information with confidence. ProspectBuddy's powerful enrichment goes beyond the profile to find verified business emails and direct phone numbers for your prospects. This feature dramatically increases your reachability, moving you past LinkedIn's messaging system and enabling more personal, effective outreach channels. Spend your time connecting, not searching.

AI-Powered Outreach Message Generation

Craft personalized, compelling messages in seconds, not hours. Our integrated AI analyzes the prospect's LinkedIn profile data—their job experience, skills, and about section—to generate tailored opening lines and email drafts. This feature helps you break the ice with relevance and insight, scaling the personal touch that wins deals and opens conversations without sacrificing authenticity.

Customizable Field Mapping for Precision

Take complete control over the data you capture. Not every field is relevant to every workflow. This feature allows you to select exactly which LinkedIn profile elements—like name, current role, skills, or about text—are sent to specific fields in your Airtable or Trello. You design the perfect data structure for your needs, ensuring your CRM contains only the most actionable and useful information.

Sales Teams Building Targeted Pipelines

Sales development representatives and account executives can rapidly build high-quality lead lists. By instantly saving prospects from LinkedIn Search or Sales Navigator into their Airtable sales pipeline, they ensure every interaction is tracked from day one. The verified contact data and AI message drafts enable faster, more personalized follow-up, turning research time into active selling time and accelerating the sales cycle.

Recruiters Managing Candidate Sourcing

Recruiters and talent acquisition specialists can streamline their sourcing process. When they find a promising candidate on LinkedIn, one click adds them as a detailed card to their Trello hiring pipeline or Airtable talent database. This creates a single source of truth for all candidates, complete with skills and experience, making it easy to screen, share with hiring managers, and maintain organized communication throughout the recruitment process.

Founders & Startup Operators Networking

Founders, investors, and operators conducting market research or seeking partnerships can efficiently manage their network growth. Instead of losing track of interesting profiles, they can save them directly to a dedicated Airtable base for future outreach. This organized system allows for strategic relationship-building over time, ensuring no valuable connection is forgotten and every follow-up is informed and timely.

Agencies Running Client Campaigns

Marketing and lead generation agencies managing campaigns for multiple clients can maintain impeccable organization. They can use different Airtable bases or Trello boards for each client, instantly populating them with enriched lead data sourced from LinkedIn. This ensures clean data delivery, transparent reporting, and seamless collaboration within the team, all while adhering to safe, manual prospecting practices.

ProspectBuddy offers simple, transparent pricing plans designed to scale with your needs. The Starter plan is $10 per month for 500 credits, perfect for solo professionals and small teams beginning their prospecting journey. It includes all core features like email/phone discovery, AI messages, and CRM sync. The Growth plan is $20 per month for 1000 credits, catering to active teams that need higher volume and consistent enrichment capacity. For high-volume teams requiring custom workflows, white-label options, or dedicated support, a Custom plan with tailored credit packages and integration development is available. You can start for free and upgrade as your prospecting power grows.

Is ProspectBuddy safe to use with LinkedIn?

Absolutely. ProspectBuddy is explicitly built for safe, manual prospecting. It does not perform any automated actions, scraping, or messaging on your behalf. You are in full control, working directly from the LinkedIn profile page. This manual approach is fully compliant with LinkedIn's User Agreement, making it a much safer and more sustainable choice compared to bulk scraping tools or automation bots that risk account restrictions.

How do I connect my Airtable or Trello?

Connecting is quick and simple. Within the ProspectBuddy extension, click on the "Connect" option for either Airtable or Trello. You'll be guided through a secure authorization process to grant access to specific workspaces, bases, or boards. Once connected, the status is confirmed on your profile page. You can disconnect or switch connected accounts at any time with just a few clicks, giving you complete flexibility.

What can I use credits for in ProspectBuddy?

Credits are used for premium enrichment actions within the extension. Primarily, they are spent on searching for a prospect's verified business email (10 credits) and revealing their direct phone number. The system is designed to be fair; if an email search does not find a result, credits are not deducted. This ensures you only pay for successful, valuable information that enhances your outreach.

Why are some of my Airtable fields not showing up?

ProspectBuddy supports specific Airtable field types to ensure data integrity. Compatible types include Attachment (for photos), URL, Text, Email, and Phone fields. If you have a field in your table that uses an unsupported type (like a checkbox, rating, or formula), it will not appear in the mapping dropdown. Ensuring your destination fields are of a compatible type will resolve this.
