How to find a Head of Sales’s email address
Short answer
Search LinkedIn or Sales Navigator for the head of sales titles below, filtered by Sales and Director and Vice President, then export the search with the Scrupp Chrome extension. Scrupp returns each person with the work email and phone number it finds, so one search becomes a list of sales leaders you can contact.
Who you are looking for
Titles that mean “head of sales”
The person who owns revenue may be a VP Sales, Head of Sales, Sales Director or Chief Revenue Officer. Sales Operations and RevOps leads often run the evaluation of sales tools.
- VP Sales / Head of Sales
- Sales Director
- Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)
- Head of Sales Operations / RevOps
A title search that catches most of them, pasted into the LinkedIn or Sales Navigator title field:
("VP Sales" OR "Head of Sales" OR "Sales Director" OR "Chief Revenue Officer" OR "CRO" OR "VP of Sales") NOT (assistant OR intern OR "account executive")
More on the syntax: LinkedIn boolean search.
Step by step
From a search to sales leaders’ emails
-
Step 1
Build the search
In Sales Navigator, set Function: Sales and Seniority level: Director and Vice President, add the title search above, then narrow by company headcount, industry and geography. On regular LinkedIn, use People search with the title keywords and location.
-
Step 2
Check the first page
Read ten results. If people with the wrong job show up, add their title words to the search with NOT, then save the search so you can rerun it.
-
Step 3
Export with Scrupp
With the Scrupp Chrome extension installed, click its button on the results. Sales Navigator stops a search at 2,500 results; Scrupp exports more than that from the same search.
-
Step 4
Get emails and phones
Scrupp looks up a work email and a phone number for each person. Download the list as CSV or Excel, or send it to HubSpot or Pipedrive.
Before you write to them
What works with sales leaders
- Sales leaders judge a cold email by how well it is written; keep it short and specific.
- For sales tools, write to RevOps as well: they often own the stack and the budget line.
- Check the list before you send: Scrupp marks addresses on catch-all domains as probable rather than verified, and you can run a bulk check with the email verifier.
FAQ
Questions about finding head of sales emails
Should I target the CRO or the VP Sales?
At companies with a CRO, the VP Sales usually runs the team day to day and is the more reachable buyer for team tools.
Will I get an email for every head of sales?
No. Across Scrupp exports a work email is found for 36.3% of people, and the share depends on the companies in your list. You pay for an email only when one is found.
Do I need Sales Navigator?
No. A regular LinkedIn search with title keywords works. Sales Navigator adds the function and seniority filters, which make the list cleaner.
