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.

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.

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.

In general, LinkedIn Sales Navigator for Gmail could be use even in simple tasks and not just for sorting or easy access of contacts. It is versatile hence it fits in any field or work. Not to mention that it is easy to use and it will export the file easily.

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.

If you are aiming for an add-on to the LinkedIn Sales Navigator platform, then it's a great tool to act as an extension to the already robust tool that is Linkedin Sales Navigator. Lead generation and lead tracking are very good options here and ease the process of emailing the leads. If you would like detailed lead generation, then this is not the tool for you. Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator instead.

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.

Prospecting for me mostly! I love using it to find leads or contacts from companies who I am interested in reaching out to. It also lets you save leads, companies, etc. for you to follow them and will email you news on the individual or the company, which then helps with my outreach as well!

I used Rapportive for several times and I really find it very helpful. You can definitely use this as a Research tool. This would be very helpful for Researchers. It will help you with your time management and it will reduce human pains. It is very user-friendly. You don't need to be a tech savvy for you to understand it's features.

The primary time I find Rapportive to be invaluable is with the first, initial engagement with a prospect. They seem to react mush more favourably when I include information that Rapportive provides to me. This also takes the guesswork work out of email crafting which allows me to focus more time on other activities.

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.

I'm in sales and am constantly emailing people. Usually, people, I don't know. It's really great for that. I can put a face with a name and it reminds me of their LinkedIn profile that I can go check out. It's probably not as helpful for less professional settings but never hurts.

It is great for sales prospecting and gathering leads, but I would not rely on it for any sort of deeper research into a client or referral source. It is great at what it does, providing a quick overview, a few highlights and a photo, but does not (and does not intend to) provide a full background check.

Rapportive is well-suited for B2B selling and also for social selling. It is less valuable when you do not have a concept of a lead, however I overall like having as much context as possible on the email conversations that I am having and who I am having them with.

There's really no reason to not use Rapportive. It's free, easy to install, and shows you the LinkedIn profile and photo of the people you're exchanging emails with.

It doesn't work as well if the people you email with don't use the particular email address for LinkedIn.
