Find Anyone on LinkedIn: Three Prospecting Layers, Boolean Search, and Two Free Unlimited-Search Hacks (LinkedInProspect, RecruitmentGeek)

Uttam Gupta Trainer - former director of growth at Growth School, founder of Agent Valley (agentvalley.ai)

The short version

Ten real relationships beat a thousand random connections. Three prospecting layers: exact ICP and past clients; second-degree; common ground (alumni, past employers, city) - the first and third work best (0:00-0:04).
Boolean: AND narrows, OR broadens across equivalents, NOT excludes; a live string for founders and partnership leads at AI companies, minus sales, support, HR and agencies (0:04-0:11).
LinkedInProspect.com turns include/exclude fields into the Boolean string (feed it a ChatGPT list of '10 AI companies that raised $1-20M in 3 months'); RecruitmentGeek.com x-rays LinkedIn past the free-tier page cap (0:12-0:26).

The concepts in full

Three prospecting layers and Boolean search

'Sales manager' returns the world. 'CMO OR head of growth AND SaaS NOT intern' returns your list.

Layers: 1) your ICP and past clients; 2) friends of friends; 3) common ground - alumni, former employers, same city. Trainer's ranking: 1 and 3; 2 is 'slightly random'. Boolean in native search: AND to narrow ('marketing director AND SaaS'), OR for equivalents ('CMO OR head of marketing OR head of growth'), NOT to exclude ('NOT salesperson NOT intern'). Live: (CEO OR founder OR marketing manager OR partnerships) AND AI NOT sales NOT 'customer support' NOT HR NOT agency, then filters for location, current company, follower-of, past companies, schools.

Why it matters

Targeted lists without paying for Sales Navigator.

LinkedInProspect and RecruitmentGeek: unlimited free search

Let a form write the Boolean, then read page ten without Premium.

PROCEDURE: 1) ask ChatGPT or Claude for the target companies ('10 AI companies that raised $1-20M in the last 3 months'); 2) LinkedInProspect.com -> job titles to include and exclude, company names, keywords in and out -> it generates the Boolean string; 3) paste into LinkedIn search. Then RecruitmentGeek.com ('LinkedIn X-ray'): paste the same string, browse ~2,000,000 hits past LinkedIn's free page cap, click through to live profiles. Both presented as free. Homework: sit down and decide who your right people are.

Why it matters

Two free tools that remove the main reason people buy Sales Navigator early.
