# Overview Clearout Prospecting helps you discover, capture, enrich, and manage B2B leads (especially from [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/) and [Wellfound](https://wellfound.com/)) so you can **build high-quality prospect lists** and push them into your **outreach workflows** with minimal friction.​​ ## What is Clearout Prospecting Clearout Prospecting is a sales intelligence activity that can be achieved through the **LinkedIn Chrome extension** or **in-app people/company search**. It consolidates captured leads with pre-verified email addresses, phone number classification, and other rich enrichment that helps perform outreach actions more precisely. It also comes with exports and integrations, eliminating the need to manage multiple spreadsheets or tools. ### Core capabilities * **Capture prospects from LinkedIn** (standard, Sales Navigator, search, people pages, and connections) using the **Clearout Chrome extension**, individually or in bulk.​​ * **Enrich each prospect** with **verified business emails, phone numbers, company details, location, job role, tech stack, and more** using Clearout’s data sources.​ * **Organize prospects into reusable “Lists”** for campaigns, territories, SDRs, or experiments, and keep them continuously updated.​ * **Export lists as CSV or Google Sheets**, or **sync them into CRMs and outreach tools** as part of your existing Clearout integrations.​​ ### Typical use cases * **Build ICP-based lists** using filters like **company, role, industry, headcount, and geography**, then capture matching profiles from LinkedIn in bulk.​​ * **Quickly validate and enrich existing LinkedIn connections** before outreach, filling gaps in **email, phone, or company intelligence**.​​ * Create “**New**” or “**Recently changed**” segments to spot fresh prospects and engage them before competitors.​​ ### How to get started Clearout enables real-time prospecting using its[ Google Chrome Extension](https://docs.clearout.io/platform-features/tools/chrome-extension) on LinkedIn and Wellfound, allowing you to discover and capture enriched prospect details directly while browsing profiles, search results, and company pages * Install and log in to the Clearout Chrome extension from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/email-finder-phone-enrich/hjhpmemgiecpogjpmofnnaghdokkfcpp), using your Clearout account credentials.​​ * On LinkedIn, define your search (or open a profile/connection list), launch the extension, choose manual or auto mode, select or create a target list, and **start capturing prospects**.​​ * In the [**Clearout dashboard**](https://app.clearout.io/dashboard), open the Prospecting section, review your lists, trigger enrichment for selected or all records, then export or sync to your sales tools.​​ ### Key concepts to know * **Prospect**: An individual contact with attributes like name, title, company, email, phone, and LinkedIn URL captured or imported into Prospecting.​ * **List**: A collection of prospects grouped for a specific use case (campaign, region, persona, or account list) that you can enrich, export, and track independently.​ * **Enrichment**: The process of filling in or validating missing data (emails, phones, firmographics, technographics) for one or many prospects in a list. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
