Your workspace already holds every connection your team has synced. The hard part isn’t the data — it’s isolating the people you don’t know yet, but someone next to you does. Two filters do it. This guide shows the exact combination.

​
The problem this solves

You’re preparing outreach, sourcing candidates, or building a target list. You want warm paths, not cold ones. But scrolling the full contact database doesn’t tell you anything useful: most of what you see is your own network, which you already know. What you actually want is the gap — the part of a teammate’s network that isn’t in yours. That’s where the intro requests live.

​
The workflow

Open the Contacts database and apply two filters on Connected with.
1

Filter: Connected with contains [teammate's name]

Add a filter for Connected with, set the condition to contains, and select the teammate whose network you want to look through.You’re now looking at every contact in the workspace that this person is connected to.
2

Add a second filter: Connected with does not contain [your name]

Add a second Connected with filter, set the condition to does not contain, and select yourself.This strips out everyone you already know, leaving only your teammate’s connections.

Work the result

What’s left is your teammate’s network minus your own — people you have no relationship with, but your colleague does.From here you can narrow further by company, title, location, or tag to get to the accounts you actually care about.
Save the result as a list once you’ve narrowed it down. That turns a one-time search into a working intro queue you can share and tag.

​
Variations worth knowing

Check one company at a time. Add a company filter on top of the two Connected with filters. You’ll see exactly who on your team has a relationship inside that account that you don’t. Stack multiple teammates. Filter on Connected with contains for two or three colleagues to find the connections concentrated in a specific part of the team — useful when a pod or region owns an account. Invert it. Swap the names around: Connected with contains your name, does not contain a teammate’s, and you’ll see what you bring to the team that nobody else has. Useful for handovers and territory reviews.

​
Who this is for

Sales — Before cold outreach, check whether a colleague already has a line into the account. A warm intro beats a cold sequence. Recruiting — Pool the team’s networks to surface passive candidates outside your own reach. Partnerships and fundraising — Find the shortest path to a target company or investor instead of guessing who might know someone.

Frequently asked questions

No. You’re filtering the shared contact database in your workspace, not browsing anyone’s LinkedIn. Contacts appear in Rolodex because your teammate synced their own account into the shared workspace.
Usually one of two things: the teammate hasn’t connected their LinkedIn or email account yet, or you’ve filtered too narrowly. Remove the second filter first and confirm the teammate’s connections show up at all.
Open the contact. The profile shows who on your team is connected and the interaction history behind that relationship, so you can judge how warm the intro actually is.
No. Filters are personal to your view. Applying them doesn’t affect anyone else’s workspace.
