Every company in ShipScout shows linked employees from public LinkedIn profiles: CEO, procurement head, sales head, BD lead. One-click connection requests with personalized templates. Sales Navigator-style discovery without the Sales Nav bill.
See every decision-maker on LinkedIn, from CEO to procurement to sales, on each company profile.
Trade-data tools tell you which company imports your product. They don't tell you which person at that company makes the call. ShipScout closes the loop. For every buyer or supplier in our database of 20.9M+ companies, we surface the linked people from public LinkedIn profiles: names, titles, seniority, location, and a way to send a connection request without leaving the platform.
Every ShipScout company card shows public LinkedIn profiles of its employees, sourced from publicly available data: name, current title, location and profile URL.
Filter the people list by job title, seniority and location to get to the procurement head, sourcing director, supply-chain VP, CEO or owner directly.
Pre-built connection messages referencing their company's recent shipments. "Saw your team imported 8 containers of polypropylene last quarter. Would like to connect on supply alternatives."
Click Connect from the ShipScout interface. Browser extension hands the request to LinkedIn with your personalized note. Tracked back inside the platform.
See who accepted, who replied, who ghosted. Filter your pipeline by LinkedIn engagement state. Trigger follow-up sequences when someone accepts but doesn't message.
Buyers in Vietnam, Brazil, Germany, UAE or the US: anyone with a public LinkedIn profile linked to a company in our trade-data graph. Multi-language support for connection notes.
Sales Navigator costs $99/month/user and shows you LinkedIn profiles. It doesn't know which of those companies imported 12 containers of your product last quarter. ShipScout does. We anchor every LinkedIn profile to its company's customs declarations, so you skip the cold list-building step. The targeting is done; you choose who to talk to.
Generic LinkedIn requests get a 9% acceptance rate. Personalized ones referencing the recipient's actual business get 35%+. ShipScout pre-fills your connection note with the buyer's recent imports, top supplier countries and product mix, all from customs data. It reads like you did the homework, which the platform did on your behalf.
None of the other providers surface LinkedIn employees for the companies in their database. You'd have to manually search each company on LinkedIn, scroll through 50 employees, identify the right person, copy the URL, switch to LinkedIn, paste, scroll, click Connect, type a note. ShipScout collapses that to two clicks.
An ethanol-based-solvents exporter pulled 47 European importers from global trade data. ShipScout surfaced 312 LinkedIn profiles across those companies. Filtered to Procurement Manager + Director + VP Supply Chain = 64 targets. Sent personalized connect notes referencing each buyer's last shipment volume. 38% acceptance, 14% replied within 2 weeks, 4 pricing conversations opened. Sales Nav cost saved: $1,200/year per rep.
The highest-converting outbound plays combine LinkedIn and email outreach in a single sequence. ShipScout lets you build it natively:
The system halts the moment the buyer responds on either channel. You don't accidentally double-message someone who already replied.
ShipScout's LinkedIn integration uses publicly available profile data and a browser-extension model that keeps to human pacing, with no aggressive scraping and no API abuse. We respect LinkedIn's connection invite limits (around 100/week per account) and surface a daily-limit warning if you push too hard. Your account, your reputation. We just make the manual part faster.
