I utilize this to identify people and companies that align with our Vision/Mission/Values at Wildsparq. I leverage this to find like-minded people who want to engage in leadership development and want to build their bench of people. This is a great tool to use to find the right people to talk to when you are looking to make a sale. It's all about finding the right people!
  • Usability is EASY.
  • Detailed-- actual details of prospects/companies.
  • Easy platform for us to quickly communicate with prospects through chat/ and connecting.
Cons
  • Sometimes can be overwhelming with all the options and functionality.
  • May need some training on how to leverage everything you can in the platform.
Well suited when looking for potential clients in industries you are targetting. Very simple to find contact information with other vital information to make a sales email. Less appropriate to manage the full relationship/lifecycle of the sale in Sales Navigator. Want something more robust for this outside of this platform.

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.
Cons
  • 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.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator - the software you need to access the information you desire.

Sales Navigator for Gmail allows me to view vast quantities of LinkedIn profile data from contacts and potential contacts which all occur in my inbox. It means I do not need to find this data from elsewhere, it is all conveniently in one singular space. To reach out to prospective individuals, I simply use the data and information I have gained from this service.
  • Provides data.
  • Easy to access, hassle free.
  • Navigation is tremendously easy.
Cons
  • Choose how frequently I receive this data.
Very well suited to collect data about contacts and potential contacts via using their data provided from LinkedIn. The fact that it goes straight to your email is ideal as I do not need to use a third-party source or extra software to view this information. This means I can save time and easily come back and check this information if need be. Does its job very well.

So much promise... So little fulfillment.

Rapportive-- now LI Sales Navigator-- can be an invaluable tool for knowing exactly who is writing you in your inbox, every day. I've been using Rapportive since it wasn't owned by LinkedIn and this process of understanding who someone is, how we're connected, and their social identity is huge. I actually feel like I'm flying blind when I don't have this side-pane loading.
  • Pulls LinkedIn profiles automatically.
  • Gives me immediate insight to who the person writing me is, their title, company, and how or if we are connected-- plus shared connections.
  • If that person is NOT connected to Rapportive/LinkedIn, I also see this and it's a signal of their digital ghost status.
Cons
  • Lots of bugs. Seems like I have to uninstall, reinstall at least 1x per month.
  • Little forward development... Rapportive actually had MORE functionality back in 2013.
  • Lack of platform expansion. Chrome only is limiting.
So much promise and utility... So little software optimization. Rapportive occupies a weird space in the landscape. It's free, which is great. But it's free, which means LinkedIn doesn't really care about it as an offering. It suffers from lack of development-- frequent bugs, crashes, limited features, and little expansion into platforms that would be useful (Firefox!?!?).

I'd gladly pay for a reliable, working, stable version of Rapportive.

Seamless integration between Gmail and LinkedIn, but not a contact mining database

LinkedIn Sales Navigator allows us to mine critical connections between the prospects we are chasing for new business development and the connections and trusted relationships we have already established. In addition, Sales Navigator also provides market intel on both developments within specific companies as well as within the industries we concentrate on themselves. It allows us to reach out to our contacts more frequently and at the right time due to new developments, increasing the chances of our positive close rate.
  • Connecting us with the right people and the brands they have represented
  • Showing growth or reductions in a specific brand or company
  • Helping to understand when the right time is to reach out about a new product or service
Cons
  • Contact information is often not robust enough or is incorrect or outdated
  • The product is reliant on LinkedIn users to accurately, correctly and timely update their own data
  • Integration with CRMs like Salesforce is challenging at times
This product allows seamless integration between Gmail and LinkedIn Sales Navigator and imports data directly into our sales intel system. It is valuable to help map relationships and create timely sales pushes for key accounts. It would be valuable to have more robust integration with CRM systems like Salesforce and more reliable and robust contact information as well.
