Navigating to People Search
/Select People Search

Paste a full LinkedIn profile URL to locate one specific person directly by their public profile.
Location — Country / State / City
Three separate multi-select dropdowns filter by where the person lives or works. Select multiple values in any field to broaden geographic coverage.

When enabled, results are filtered to match your saved sales persona preferences. Configure preferences under Settings → Preferences.

Every contact row includes an Org Chart link.

Use the org chart to identify the best entry point into an account or to map multiple stakeholders for a multi-threaded outreach strategy.Saved People View
