You have filters based on the prospect job title, location, company etc making our work and life easy to reach out the ideal customer.
  • Filteration- job title, company, location
  • In message feature, helping us to directing reach out to the prospect
  • Helps to find the target person and the target company quite easily
  • A lot of advertising on the platform
  • It has a very limited integration with the other tools
  • It has a lot of features which can be overwhelming for a newbee
Well Suited: Generating leads (with whom we are not connected yet), ABM is very very suitable with LinkedIn Sales Navigator for Gmail , In built messaging to connect with the ideal prospect. Best tool for sales team and for prospecting!!!

We have been using LinkedIn Sales Navigator for a few months now and are already starting to see the results. We are finding new leads and business opportunities on a daily basis. We have been able to create more awareness of our company and products through the use of LinkedIn Sales Navigator. We are also able to help convert leads into sales. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to increase their business.
  • Sales funnel.
  • Reports
  • Connections
  • Follow potential leads.
  • Flexibility little missing.
  • Should integrate others tools too.
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.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator continues to be a key part of our marketing strategy. We use it to manage our lead pipeline, connect with new potential customers and manage our existing clients. We started using Sales Navigator because our sales reps weren't as connected as they should be on LinkedIn. The product allows our reps to be more connected, and we're finding more opportunities by being more connected.

LinkedIn has innovated in many ways in recent years. We use the Sales Navigator for our Team. We are able to use this Customer Relationship Manager to organize our leads, especially from vendors whom we have an affiliated relationship with. We can tag the contact and the referral so that we can track if we are properly monetizing the relationship and having appropriate followup.
  • Tracking leads.
  • Attach to our CRM and create a sales funnel.
  • Get intel on who is looking at our profile, potential leads.
  • Per lead InMail price is steep.
  • Clunky integration with Pipeline Management.
  • Doesn't integrate with Kv Core.
Super functional, best for Android users, since the interface is best suited to that style. You might have to do a manual match between your Sales Navigator and your CRM. I am sure they will make more integrations for real estate as time goes on since we are a large player in the business to client followup arena.

  • Fortune is in the follow-up. This is why using Sales Navigator is powerful.
  • Most useful for Business to Business applications of lead generation.
  • Weak on Business to Customer applications for real estate.
Kv Core and Konversion have a Smart CRM which rivals Sales Navigator. However, they do not reach out into the world...they are in my own sphere only. Sales Navigator helps me to discover other leads, not just service or keep them top of mind. The Business to Business integration is superb because it can tell you what companies are searching for services like mine.

Rapportive is a great tool to find out more about a potential customer before making initial contact. Understanding your customers and their needs before the start of the conversations is a powerful tool. For a sales agent, I cannot recommend them enough
  • Lead research.
  • Understanding potential customers.
  • Research.
  • Usability.
It is very appropriate for understanding a lead before making contact. You can find out there like/dislikes, industry, interests and so much more!
