Prospeo lets you preview before you spend
In Prospeo, filter People Search, inspect names, titles and companies, then save, export or send people to a connected tool. You can limit the number of contacts per company, and Growth and Pro add duplicate-control filters. Prospeo People Search
For example, if you sell onboarding software to customer-success teams, narrow the company type before picking roles, since not every customer-success title handles onboarding. A per-company limit keeps one large account from taking over your list.
Browsing is free, but exporting people includes email enrichment, so an export is not a free download of the names you previewed.
Prospeo's plans run from $0 to $249 a month

Instant Expert quotes each person's request in the draft. You can import a known LinkedIn profile directly, without buying an email lookup first.
Ask about the handoff before you pitch the tool
If you are still learning what happens between onboarding and ongoing support, ask about that before pitching anything. A paid reply could ask:
In a customer handoff you personally worked on, what information moved from onboarding to the ongoing customer-success team? What, if anything, had to be clarified afterward?
The recipient chooses text or voice. Request a call if you want follow-up questions. Read profiles for relevant responsibilities, and name the experience you want in the message.
For a paid product introduction, say you intend to show the onboarding tool. A demo labelled as research is still a demo.
A Prospeo list moves into Instant Expert as a CSV
Import a CSV with name plus company, email address or LinkedIn URL. This is a file transfer, not a native Prospeo connection.
Choose Prospeo when you need usable contact records for your sales tools. Use Instant Expert when the next step is a clearly described conversation.
