# How do I find decision makers on LinkedIn?
> Search by title, company size, and geography, then verify they own the problem you solve. A VP in the wrong function is not a decision maker for you.

Decision maker means they can say yes, or they can get you to the person who can. For a $49 tool that might be a founder. For a six-figure rollout that might be a VP plus procurement. Start from the job you change, not from "C-level looks impressive."

On LinkedIn, combine title, function, seniority, company headcount, and location. Then open the profile. If their About and posts are about a different world than your product, skip them even if the title matched.

Buying committees are real. A champion in ops plus a budget holder in finance is a common pair. Messaging only the CEO because the filter said so is how you get ignored. Messaging only an intern because they accept everything is how you get meetings that cannot close.

Triggers help you guess who feels the pain this month: hiring for the team that would use you, a new leader in the function, a product launch, a fundraising post. Title plus trigger beats title alone.

Sales Navigator makes this search less painful. A careful free-account workflow still works if you stay under commercial search limits. Omentir's lead finders score people against an ICP you define, which is the same idea with less manual filter clicking.

## Frequently asked questions

**Should I always go to the C-suite?**

Only if they feel the problem weekly. Many C-level inboxes are a graveyard of vendor mail. A director who owns the workflow will often reply faster and pull the exec in later.

**How do I tell a fake title from a real one?**

Read experience dates, company size, and whether anyone else at the company has the same inflated title. "Founder & CEO" at a company of one is a founder. Sell like it.

**Are job changers good targets?**

Often. New leaders buy tools in the first few months. Say that you noticed the new role. Do not pretend you worked together.

**Can I scrape the search results?**

Not if you care about the account. Export through allowed products, or copy names by hand. Scrapers are how restrictions start.
