Where to find people to cold-email?
I know this might seem like a dumb question but I always read on this forum that people sent out hundreds of cold emails. Where do you find all these hundreds of people? On their websites (CBRE, JLL, etc) you only find like their CEOs and Chairmans email addresses. Any idea where I can find the contact information for their other employees such as analysts, associates, VPs, etc. I have been trying to find people on LinkedIn but a lot of their info is locked. I would love any help or information on this.
Thanks
Company email addresses all follow the same format for example if John Smith at JLL's email is [email protected] then Bob Jones at JLL's email is going to be [email protected]
You just need to know one person's email at a company to know anybody's email at said company
And if you can't find a single persons email address online you can typically guess the format usually some combination of first name.last name/first initial last name/first initial.last name/etc....
Where do I find their names in the first place?
linkedin, search in google "(position title) (city) (company) linkedin" and go from there
I haven't been on the JLL or CBRE sites today, but I'm confused when you say that only the CEO, etc is on there. Almost all of their employees are on those sites. What kinds of contacts (positions) are you looking for that you aren't finding?
I’m guessing like Analysts, VPs maybe? Someone who OP can contact to try to get an informational interview
I want to try to land an analyst position so trying to find anyone who can point me in the right direction.
I literally just went to the CBRE website and found this full list of the Houston team including analysts with their contact info.

is there one like this for JLL too? I couldnt find it
Yeah for a brokerage just go online, everybody's info is on there, we want to be found.
if you’re trying to get an analyst position is it better to cold email brokers or other analysts/associates?
I would email the brokers
You can download scripts online that will auto-attach files (in this case your resume) to a mail merge on outlook. Some google searching will lead you to these scripts and how to use them.
Be careful not to screw-up the mail merge by adding spaces before names or doing other things to make your emails read like a mad-libs.
Happy hunting!
