Here’s a trick that takes under 10 seconds and costs exactly zero dollars for additional software: Microsoft Teams.
Next time you’ve got a leads’ email address, just pop it into Microsoft Teams’ search bar. If both companies’ ecosystems permit: Boom – instant verification (sometimes with online status, profile picture, title, and department)!

Not there? Either the data is incorrect or they’re outside your network. And what if they’re a Google Workspace company?
My team’s now validating email addresses in seconds.
And the best part? Nobody teaches this stuff. Not in onboarding, not in training, not in your fancy sales courses.
Just old-school hustlers finding shortcuts while everyone else complains about “not having good enough softwares.”
