You're trying to find end users to contact in order to sell a domain. You've found their company website and have identified the person you need to email, but you don't know their email address. Not to worry, there are a few very simple ways to find any company email address within a matter of minutes.
Finding a specific person's company email address is usually fairly simple; most companies follow strict email username formats. The most common formats are:
1. [email protected] (e.g [email protected])
2. [email protected] (e.g [email protected])
3. [email protected] (e.g [email protected])
4. [email protected] (e.g [email protected])
In most cases, the company you're contacting will use one of these formats. Larger companies tend to use the first three, but smaller companies may opt for option 4.
To identify which email format a company is using, you could check their domain name's WhoIs details. More often than not, the WhoIs registrant will be a staff member - usually using their company email address.
If WhoIs doesn't produce any results, then try this little Google trick. Search for the following:
Another way to find an email format is to look at press releases from the company. Sometimes, the press release will include a company contact - complete with email address.
Once you know the name of the person you want to contact, along with the email address format, it will be worth verifying the email address, just to make sure the address is still active. I use MailTester.com - a free service that lets you verify most email addresses.
That's just a quick tip which may help you. If you have any questions about finding email addresses, or you have your own methods you'd like to share, please comment below.

[I][B]email "[USER=188595]@Domain.com[/USER]"[/B][/I] (including the quotations, but obviously swapping domain.com for the company domain). This will give you many listings of instances when a company email address has been indexed by Google. I do this quite often, and 9 times out of 10, I'll find a company email address, which will show me the format that they use.Another way to find an email format is to look at press releases from the company.
