Contacting Connections Outside LinkedIn
There are a number of ways to reach your contacts outside of LinkedIn and its many restrictions.
Get your contacts
First grab your contacts in a form that is usable. Typically this means a CSV file that can be imported into other programs. However other services increasingly will do this for you.
Some options:
- LinkedIn export connection feature. Visit your connections page and look for the Export link under your connections list. This will generate a CSV file.
- Plaxo. Plaxo will read in your LinkedIn connections into its database, which can be synced with MS Outlook, which can be used for contact and exported as a CSV file for other programs.
- LinkedInContactManager (LICM). LICM will automatically read in your connections. At this time however the software has not been updated to work with the current LinkedIn site.
Send group emails.
- MS Outlook. Via LinkedIn sync or CSV import.
- Other email software or services. See Software.
