Bank contacts for BankProspector come from 2 places. LinkedIn and Jigsaw.
LinkedIn is a ‘freemium’ service meaning that you can do an awful lot for free but you can also pay to get a more powerful solution. If you’re just getting started with LinkedIn or if you’re not seeing enough contacts from the plugin then you’ll want to go through this post to learn about how to get started prospecting on LinkedIn.
From the LinkedIn panel you can search for contacts, reach out to them directly with a message, or invite them to connect with you on your professional network. Use BankProspector’s title presets to speed up your search.

Jigsaw is a crowd sourced database of B2B contacts. As Jigsaw puts it:
Jigsaw is the world’s largest database of up-to-date, downloadable, and complete contact and company information. With a directory of more than 24 million business contacts and over 36,000 contacts added and edited daily by a dedicated user base of over one million, the quality, content, and scope of Jigsaw’s world-class contact directory is unrivaled. Every Jigsaw business contact is complete with a phone number (over 70% of which are direct dial), position, company, mailing address, and business email address.
Jigsaw is an independent service owned by SalesForce that BankProspector integrates with. Although we anticipate a more seamless experience in the future, today you should setup a Jigsaw account and maximize your subscription by integrating the two. You can get Jigsaw contacts for free by adding contacts or you can pay for them, in bulk they’ll cost you about 70 cents.

I don’t Want to Pay for More Contacts
Use the LinkedIn API and when you use the Jigsaw API simply take the Title, Location, First and Last Name, and search for or cold call, dial by name, etc. your contact. LinkedIn and Jigsaw are offered as additional features to make your prospecting ultra-efficient. If you have more time than money then perhaps you should search for people by name after you get the name.
