LinkedIn Sales Navigator for Gmail vs. Seamless.AI

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.

Well Suited:

1. Studying TAM: And landing at your ICP to target from a business development standpoint
2. Lead Enrichment: Seamless can do it faster than most of the other tools
3. Tracking Job Changes: They've added this new functionality recently, given the fact how important it is

Not Well Suited:

1. Buyer Intent Data: Platforms like G2 and ZoomInfo are pretty good at providing buyer intent signals which is not there in seamless
2. Extensive Search Capabilities: Search is not as powerful as LinkedIn Sales Nav or ZoomInfo

• Has many filter capabilities for me to find exactly who I am looking for.
• Integrates with other prospecting tools to create a well rounded with the information it can collect.
• Integrates with SFDC- automatically uploads them as leads.
• Integrates with Salesloft for me to easily start the cadence.

• Very easy to use LinkedIn extension
• find business email address
• One-click sync with our CRM

• 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.

• Out dated email addresses
• Poor customer service

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

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.

Great product and great people but I am still scared and scared of giving my credit card because of my experience with Seamless scammers.

• 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

• Scaling Outbound: Seamless has obviously helped us in the past when it comes to scaling our outbound function. List of contacts and leads can be uploaded in bulk and this is extremely useful in outbounding.
• User Friendly: Onboarding the team on Seamless was quite easy. Did not, like its competitors, make the browser hand. Has most integrations with major CRMs available.
• Light on the Pocket: Usually the case with growing teams, as it is not as expensive as its direct competitors. Though the quality of lead data information might be compromised by a certain percentage.
