Rapportive was acquired by LinkedIn in 2012. In November 2017, LinkedIn released a new version of Rapportive called Sales Navigator Lite for Gmail, which makes some features of LinkedIn Sales Navigator accessible from within user's email inbox.

The integration to my inbox, together with LinkedIn's data is almost incomparable. Integration with Salesforce is so solid that Data.com does not offer an advantage being part of SFDC.

NetProspex is particularly well suited to help your organization keep up an accurate database. It helps to use the NetProspex tools at least once a quarter to help maintain accuracy. It also helps to fill in any incomplete records that could slow down your business process, and it eliminates barriers during the sales funnel.

The Sales Navigator has allowed us to increase our awareness of our potential lead pool and has allowed us to grow our customer base. The system is easy to use and allows us to have great control over the number of leads we can see and the number of leads that we can connect to. Using the system has also helped us in being able to manage the number of leads that we can send.

  • Sometimes it tells me I need to log into my LinkedIn profile when I've already logged in. It's weird. It seems to be when the email address is not found. Instead of just saying the email is not found, it tells me I need to log in. Just something I've noticed.
  • Sometimes I get this weird thing where I go to compose an email and instead of having it open all the way to the right, it opens all the way to my left. I'm pretty sure Rapportive is what's causing it. It doesn't happen very often but sometimes I see that.

Rapportive is simple and great at what it does. Plus I anticipate they'll probably add more features in the future.

We used Zoominfo before to help search for new leads, or leads similar to ones that were already in our database. We've found that Zoominfo may have had more records overall, but their data was not as accurate. We were also looking for a tool that could help evaluate our current leads on a more regular basis, something which Zoominfo could not provide.

LinkedIn Sales Navigators provides different services than most other products and has the unique ability to take advantage of LinkedIn's proprietary user data. That also comes with a drawback that the system is dependent on users to update their data in a timely and accurate manner in order to get the correct intel back to users. I'd recommend other products like Seamless.ai or MediaRadar for more accurate and updated contact information, but also to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator for Gmail for better market and company intel, timely pitching opportunities and seamless integration between Gmail and LinkedIn.

LinkedIn
  • Really lets me leverage my entire business network
  • Empowers me to see the prospect's whole picture (who they know, where they went, what they do) and take advantage of that opening
  • We have no other system like it, so it's irreplaceable for us
