Here's How to Do It

Method 1

Step 1: Find the company email pattern

If the information for the person you want to connect with is not readily available, we might have to do a bit of dirty work to start off with.The best place to start is to find the company email pattern.If you fool around on the company website, you may be able to come up with someone from the company’s email address.

Step 2: Plugin the name of the person

This random email address may not be the one we want, but it is still a good thing. We can take the pattern of that email, and insert the name of the person you areFor example, i can change tom.brady@patriots.com (firstname.lastname@company.com) to Bill.Belichick@patriots.com to find the guy i am looking for.
