This is a quick and simple process. The ProspectSafari extension is free and works in Chrome.
Simply click here to install the extension: Install ProspectSafari Extension. In the app you can also click your workspace's name at the top right and pick "Download Extension" (it shows until the app finds the extension in your browser). Add the extension to Chrome from its Chrome Web Store page.
Now click the Extensions icon in the browser bar.
You should see the ProspectSafari extension installed. Click to pin it:
Log in to ProspectSafari in the same Chrome. The extension has no login of its own: it uses your app login in that browser, and works in the workspace you last opened there. To use another workspace, switch to it in the app.
That's it! You can now use the Extension to add companies and contacts to your ProspectSafari lists at any time. Adding with the extension uses no credits.
Choose your default list
Click the ProspectSafari icon in the browser toolbar to open the extension's panel:
To change the default list for new prospects, click the ProspectSafari browser icon..
Pick the "Default list": new prospects made with the extension go into that list. Each team member has their own.
..select the default list where you want to save all new companies grabbed with the extension going forward.
Clicking the icon adds nothing by itself: the panel only holds a short video, the "Default list" and a button to open the app. All adding is done with the right-click menu.
Using the Extension on any website
- "Add URL": right-click a link, an image or an empty spot of the page. The link you right-clicked (otherwise the page's address) is added to a prospect: a social page becomes its page of that kind, a page of a listing website its listing page, and any other address its website when it has none.
- "Add as contact": select a person's name or an email address, right-click it. Text with an @ becomes the contact's email; other text becomes the first and last name. A selected phone number is not saved as a phone number.
Chrome then asks, in its own small dialogs, whether to add it to a prospect you already have with that website or page, or else to the last prospect you edited (the one you last opened in the prospect view, or the last one the extension added to). If you say no (Cancel), it proposes adding a new prospect to your "Default list".
Using the Extension on LinkedIn
As you browse LinkedIn search results you can right-click a person's name or profile pic and pick "Add contact" to add the person as a contact:
Right-click on a profile pic to add as a contact
On a LinkedIn personal profile page, right-click anywhere and pick "Add contact". ProspectSafari takes the name, picture, profile link and job title, and the first company with a logo in "Experience".
If you right-click one of the companies listed in the "Experience" section and pick "Add company with contact", that company is used instead: you can add it as a new prospect (with the contact added) or add the company's LinkedIn page and the contact to an existing prospect.
In both cases, any email and other links listed in the "Contact info" section are added to the contact record.
Email, Linkedin profile, websites and socials taken from Linkedin contact info
All of these contact icons are clickable and open in the window on the left.
Since the full LinkedIn Contact Info is only visible to some people (for example first connections), you should revisit the LinkedIn profile and pick "Add contact" again if you become connected to a contact of interest. This updates the same contact with the new information, profile picture and job title.
You can also add a company from its company page on LinkedIn: right-click anywhere and pick "Add company". ProspectSafari takes the company's name, its LinkedIn page and the website its page links to. If a prospect already has that LinkedIn page (for example because you added a contact from LinkedIn as above), Chrome asks whether to update it, and the prospect gets the website, so its website can now be read.
For this reason it is good practice to add from both the company page and the contact's profile to capture all the information.
The extension does not scrape LinkedIn by itself: it adds one person or company per right-click, and reads only what LinkedIn shows you.
