Finding people’s contact information and information that makes a cold call warm is always time consuming and can be frustrating. But here’s a new tool I’ve just started using that I love—www.pipl.com . Run it on yourself—you will find all the places your information comes up on the web!
I have been really impressed with this tool because it found references I haven’t found through any other searching method. I was able to locate an old colleague of mine who has eluded all my attempts to find her information in the past. We were both thrilled when PIPL worked.
Not only do you find great information about your contact, you can also see if they post to blogs and if so where, which ones and what do they think, are they on LinkedIn, Facebook, Plaxo, etc. or are they on a group website that could help you get your foot in the door.
I am also recommending to people who are looking for advice on finding a job to check this out as well. Nothing like knowing exactly what an employer could find on you and heading it off BEFORE it becomes an issue.
It has also helped keep all the information up to date. There is nothing worse than finding a website, using it for awhile and then getting away from it only to find out someone wanted to contact you.
