# Magic Contacts

### Overview

We call the contacts in our database Magic Contacts because they are much more advanced than contacts found in typical databases. Magic Contacts automatically stay up to date and are routinely verified to ensure that they are valid. 

All Magic contacts include a LinkedIn profile and can also be enriched to include validated phones and emails. In addition, all magic contacts are automatically monitored for employment changes, so that you can prospect with confidence and can be sure that you are reaching out to the right people.

### Request LinkedIn Profiles

Magic Contacts start with LinkedIn profiles. When looking at a shipping location from the Magic Map, you can request LinkedIn profiles for logistics contacts to get a curated list of relevant LinkedIn profiles for that location. Currently this may take up to 48 hours, but in the near future it will happen instantly.

These profiles allow you to get closer to the ultimate decision makers at these facilities, and tailor your outreach more effectively.

### Enrich contacts with validated phones/emails

The next portion of Magic Contacts are the human validated phones and emails for each contact. To get these, you can enrich the contacts you have saved using [enrichment credits](/settings/organization/enrichment-credits.md) with the Relationship Manager.

This will enrich the contact with human validated phone numbers and emails, allowing you to&#x20;

### Monitor employment changes

Magic Contacts are also monitored automatically for employment changes. If any of your key contacts change jobs, you will be automatically notified, so that you are always operating with up-to-date information.
