Updated today

Overview

The People Search feature in AiXUP is designed for dynamic sales professionals who want to connect directly with decision-makers and specific roles in their target market. Whether you are running a LinkedIn outreach strategy or building highly targeted prospect lists, People Search allows you to find individuals by role, industry keywords, and location—then organize and enrich them for outreach.

This guide walks you step by step through using People Search, creating a list, understanding credit usage, and reviewing your results.



What You’ll Need Before You Start

  • An active AiXUP account

  • Available credits (People Search uses 3 credits per record returned with contact data)

  • A clear idea of:

    • The role or profession you are targeting

    • The location you want to search


Step 1: Navigate to People Search

  1. Log in to your AiXUP dashboard.

  2. Go to the Search or Lead Search section.

  3. Select People Search.

People Search is ideal if you:

  • Use LinkedIn as part of your outreach strategy

  • Want to connect with specific roles or job titles

  • Need individual-level contact data


Step 2: Define Your Target Audience

In the People Search form, configure your search criteria:

Description / Keywords

  • Enter keywords commonly found in LinkedIn profiles.

  • Focus on specific roles rather than broad industries.

  • Example:

    • Plumber

Tip: The more specific your keyword, the more relevant your results.

Location

  • Enter a city, state, country, or broader region.

  • Example:

    • City: Jackson, Mississippi

You may broaden your search to country-level if needed, but narrower locations produce more targeted results.


Step 3: Review Credit Usage

  • Each People Search record with contact data costs 3 credits.

  • Example:

    • 10 records × 3 credits = 30 credits

Make sure you are comfortable with the credit usage before continuing.


Step 4: Set Search Limits and Filters

  1. Choose your search result limit (example: 10 results).

  2. Optional: Apply filters if needed.

  3. For this walkthrough, no filters are applied.

  4. Click Continue.


Step 5: Preview Search Results

After clicking Continue, you’ll see a preview list that includes:

  • LinkedIn profile

  • Full name

  • Job title or position

  • Company name

  • Location

Review the preview to ensure the results match your target audience.


Step 6: Select Records to Add

  1. Select individual records or click Select All.

  2. Confirm the total number of records selected.

  3. Click Confirm to proceed.

Note: Credits are deducted only after confirmation.


Step 7: Create or Add to a List

If you don’t already have a list:

  1. Choose Create New List.

  2. Name your list clearly.

    • Example: Plumbers – Jackson, Mississippi

  3. Click Save and Continue.

Once saved, the selected records will be added to your new list.


Step 8: Access Your Saved List

  1. Click Go to List (top-right corner).

  2. You will now see all saved contacts in your newly created list.


Step 9: Review Contact Details

Inside your list, you can view:

  • LinkedIn profile links

  • Names and job titles

  • Company information

  • Location

  • Available contact data (emails when found)

  • Date the record was created

You can also expand individual records to see additional details.


Step 10: Use AI Tools for Next Actions

From within the list, you can:

  • Generate AI-powered insights about each contact

  • Create personalized outreach messages

  • Add custom labels (e.g., Called, Contacted, Follow-Up Needed)

  • Decide next steps before outreach

This allows you to move seamlessly from research to action.


Best Practices

  • Use specific role-based keywords for better accuracy

  • Start with smaller result limits to manage credit usage

  • Organize prospects into clearly named lists

  • Leverage AI prompts to personalize outreach at scale
