Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Sales Navigator

My marketing assistant is using LinkedIn Sales Navigator for the company. She is combining Dux-Soup plugin for lead generation and list building as well as Hunter.io to collect email addresses. We are reaching out via LinkedIn to connect and create impactful relationships. In the beginning we do not pitch our services. We strictly use LinkedIn to cultivate relationships and expand the network. From there if it makes sense, I will get on a call with a handful of people a week that I met on LinkedIn to explore further conversation to see how we may help one another whether that be to make introductions to for podcasts, blogs, services, etc. It's a win win.
  • LinkedIn Sales Navigator targets my ideal clientele really well with specific keywords, industries, geographies, company size, and more.
  • LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a great place to connect that doesn't feel too spammy if done correctly.
  • Linkedin Sales Navigator is great at filtering out years of experience. For example, we look people who have been in business at least 3-5 years. The 20 filters are very valuable to have. You also have a choice to "Save As A Lead" to get updates about them on your homepage. You will know when they post an update, starts a discussion and more.
  • I love the lead recommendations because sometimes they are people I didn't even think about.
  • It would be great to have a LinkedIn Sales Navigator Success Stories to see how some people are effectively converting interests into prospects into buyers.
  • I've noticed that people can export your information into an Excel sheet and import into their CRM after a connection is made, I'm not a fan of this. I find myself on many people's email lists where I just unsubscribe. I am wondering if there is training on how to do this appropriately where it doesn't feel so spammy.
  • Would be cool to set a reminder to follow up with specific people in 30-90 days.
  • Faster introductions made to other people.
  • Faster turnaround on getting with more people on the phone.
  • Better customer service.
I selected LinkedIn Sales Navigator because I love cultivating relationships and expanding the network. I'm a connector and this is one of the things that I am passionate about. I haven't used any other products similar to LinkedIn Sales Navigator so, it was a no brainer to invest in LinkedIn Sales Navigator because I believe in searching for professional, qualified and like-minded individuals.
When business owners are looking to build more relationships and expand their network, I would highly recommend LinkedIn Sales Navigator. You would be surprised at how many people (no matter their status) would be willing to meet up for a cup of coffee to connect within your area. To build, nurture, and cultivate relationships with LinkedIn is my number one goal. I believe this will result in increased profits in the long run through referrals, introductions, and more.
