In my opinion, ZoomInfo and LinkedIn Sales Navigator serve different purposes. ZoomInfo is more for providing accurate contact information, while LinkedIn Sales Navigator is more for identifying the exact contacts you want to market to. Being built on top of the LinkedIn …
I was not involved with the decision making of the evaluation of this, I only heard we also looked at these other options. But based on our company's overall sentiment of ZoomInfo Marketing I think the decision makers did make the right choice.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is hands down the best tool for identifying targeted contacts or leads. You can drill down on a company and look at its entire workforce, or search by the exact title that is your key target. The information is up to date, as people tend to keep their LinkedIn profiles current. In terms of other marketing functions LI Sales Navigator is extremely limited. BUT if you are looking to identify contacts for prospecting purposes, then this tool is what you need.
ZoomInfo Marketing can be used to re-target companies already in your sales process or familiar with you (i.e., have been to your website or engaged with you in some way). You may not get a large number of conversions through a cold display campaign, but ZI Marketing is a great way to stay at the top of your buyers' minds and provide them with bottom-of-the-funnel content through advertising.
Search Functionality: LinkedIn Sales Navigator has one of the most powerful search functions. The filters are not unnecessary and some are very well thought of. You can drill down to finding a needle in a haystack of 20000 employee company when it comes to using LinkedIn Sales Navigator if done in the right manner.
Smart Links: Gone are the days of attached Decks. One can simply create their deck online using this feature on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or even upload an existing ppt. A smart link is shareable as well as trackable for opens and clicks.
Fewer Clicks: With a single click, I can filter out decision-makers in any company. With a single click, I can import contacts from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Salesforce. Lesser clicks are actually less stressful if you think.
The ease of campaign creation is amazing! I can get a campaign set up in just a few minutes.
The reporting allows us to easily see the performance of our ads. There is no guesswork.
I love being able to create audiences from ZoomInfo tools such as Websights, intent, workflows and lists. This allows us to target a very specific audience that we otherwise would not have access to.
This question is a no-brainer. The tool is the industry standard for anyone tied to sales and marketing. The name "LinkedIn Sales Navigator" is synonymous with streamlining relevant customer and account data in an easy to use format that is actionable and intelligent. The focus on continuous improvement and richer means of communicating with customers and prospects is evident each time new features are rolled out. The social component of the tool even includes a gamification component to ensure that peers remain relevant among each other, which is refreshing and enjoyable for those who engage the tool on a daily basis.
It just complements every effort that our sales and marketing team go through. We also use other zoom products, and this meshes so well with them. It has cut down the time we need for results in marketing and sales, as well as increasing the success rate of the actions we choose. We're seeing greater ROI on efforts since we started.
Overall, it's very user-friendly. It's hard for a tool to make sorting through loads of data easy, but Sales Nav does this very well. Its advanced search features enable us to be selective in finding the right people to talk to and connect with.
I think it's great for marketing and sales alignment and it gives great insights and data that we can translate over to our LinkedIn advertising, but I think the reporting limitations aren't great. The discrepancies don't provide full confidence in the numbers. But, as a tool to become more targeted based on websights and sales goals it's great!
I would recommend LinkedIn Sales Navigator entirely. It has been the most user-friendly tool to use starting off in a sales role. I genuinely enjoy the navigation of the tool and how easy it is to save lists and see job changes within those lists. Generating leads and finding the most up to date information on prospects is all housed within this tool.
They spend most of their time pontificating on rudimentary matters. They tried to blame their own mistakes and shortcomings on the client rather than themselves.
I am unsure of the rollout, as I was not involved. I was an early adopter, and I have had a lot of success with the tool personally at multiple organizations, but I have no idea whether the implementation process encountered any errors. I can personally say that it works, and that I have not encountered significant issues with the tool since adoption, although a few issues like messages showing up as being unread even though they have been opened have been an on-again/off-again issues throughout the past few years. Overall, the company is doing a great job, and our implementation seems to have been effective.
They never ended up uploading the custom intent topics until months after we submitted them. It was difficult to select the custom intent topics in the first place as well.
The great think about LinkedIn Sales Navigator is the ability to not only find the key contacts at organizations we are seeking to connect with but it also provides an easy way to make a connect with them using the In-mail feature. The nice thing about that is people who have/keep a LinkedIn presence #1 tend to keep their information updated on there and #2 always link their LinkedInmail to their current email address. So even if they change jobs or positions the In Mail feature will always be able to get a message through to them.
We have ZoomInfo Sales as well. We decided we needed to have both Sales and Marketing to marry them together. We are so happy we did! We really needed to have the entire package together. We are able to research our customers within sales and then we are able to serve them ads.
Tracking characteristics on types of businesses on our pages - also very close to our dream persona
Build a weekly workflow internally between sales and marketing to use the incoming contacts and increasing number of qualified leads to hand off to sales
