As my website already knows its a returning visitor or if the visitor does share name i can see the name next time he comes visiting my site...so i know somehow my site has the users unique ip with it too...
My site is b2b so each visitor matters but unwanted people come too and it requires a lot of convincing which I am not able to achieve by remarketing...so want to know who is the user that came to my site from certain ip if they seem quality lead i can work on them send them mails after a week or try them on social media
Suggestions?
 
There is no method or software I could use and find out the user directly lol I know if it was possible many would have done it I feel some of the competition of mine have done it already maybe I am missing something...
I visited their sites I got emails from them to try free demo to their software without even registering got me curious
 
intresting
I am not making sense here am i?
Basically I can see ip address of all the people who come to my website I want to know if there is method I can target that user directly email him or something like that just by knowing the IP

Just by knowing his IP, no in general you can't. If you have some more info like a domain you can query the MX record of the DNS and try your luck by bruteforcing the most common usernames (there are scripts to do it), but just the IP won't do much if anything at all
 
Also consider that your contact may travel and use a laptop. IPs can change, frequently. LAN/Modem Wifi/Router Wifi/Hotspot/Phone Tether/etc...

Example the guy Pankaj we used same ip for experimenting when he added his name and came to site after few days i did mine we both have same ip when he came it shows his name when I come it shows my name

When we disbale webrtc you can see it hides our two ips one unique machine ip and other is the ip provided by the data provider and it can be dynamic ip so there is no way of knowing who the user is from dynamic ip but if we have the unique ip of machine do you think we can track the user
 
There are companies out there who specialise in B2B solutions exactly for this

I've used these guys before for clients who sold clock in and out products to factories:

They are great and work just as advertised, probably not the best to target with PPC but they are great for generating contact details for telesales staff to target.

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question entirely, but I'll try anyway. By tracking the internal IP webrtc would of course be a smart solution to tell apart users sharing the same public IP, but if your goal is to simply track different machines even if coming from the same public IP (let's say hiding behind a proxy / VPN) you should be able to do that by fingerprinting your visitors browsers (especially with HTML5 canvas) so you have a pretty reliable statistical model to know who's who.. Other techniques that might somehow help without webrtc might be flash or issuing an ajax request to determine certain things about the specific browser (in certain cases you should be able to probe the subnet as well). Still there might be ways around it and you still won't be able to mail directly just by knowing their public IP, but at least you would know two machines coming at you from the same IP are in fact different and track them back at a later time if your fingerprint is relatively dependable.
 
OP I'm not sure I get your question, but wouldn't you be better off using cookies?

Want to track who the visitors are from their ip and if possible get their mail address or something and bother them until they buy our software lol

To track by IP you'll need to tie the session (cookie) to a database entry with actions taken by a IP. Cookies already do this in a sense, so you can probably solve your problem by cookie and not IP.
