# Linkedin Prospect Research

> Research a LinkedIn prospect or company before reaching out. Use when the user wants a one-page brief on a person or company — role history, recent posts, hiring signals, hooks for outreach. Invoke on "research this prospect", "LinkedIn brief", or "give me talking points on X".

# LinkedIn Prospect Research

Build a pre-outreach brief using Composio's LinkedIn toolkit plus web search.

## Workflow

1. **Inputs.** Prospect's LinkedIn URL OR (full name + company). If neither, ask.
2. **Find the right slug:**
   ```bash
   composio search "get linkedin profile" "search linkedin posts" --toolkits linkedin
   ```
3. **Link account if needed:**
   ```bash
   composio link linkedin
   ```
4. **Pull profile + recent activity:**
   ```bash
   composio execute LINKEDIN_GET_MY_INFO -d '{}'
   # Profile by URL/ID — slug varies; confirm with search above
   composio execute LINKEDIN_SEARCH_PEOPLE -d '{ "keywords": "Jane Doe Acme" }'
   ```
5. **Augment with web search** for recent mentions, funding news, product launches, conference talks.
6. **Write a one-page brief** to `./research/<slug>.md` with sections:
   - Role + tenure + prior companies
   - Top 3 recent posts / engagement hooks
   - Company context (stage, funding, recent news)
   - 3 personalized opening lines
   - Best channel / time-of-day guess
