Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Sales Navigator

Honestly, I don't really understand how to use LI Sales Navigator. I purchased it mainly because they took away a lot of advanced search fields in LinkedIn Premium.

I use it for researching clients and candidates for my recruiting business. I bought it as a cheaper alternative to LI Recruiter.
  • Boolean Search
  • Good advanced filters
  • Ability to tag names
  • Simpler and more instructive way to utilize this system
  • Ability to have several "buckets" for searches, rather than tagging people
  • More Intuitive to use
  • Has found me some good quality people
  • Slows me down - hard to organize the data in a comprehensive manner
  • Good search tools
Seems like ZoomInfo has more data, including email addresses and phone numbers. I chose LI Sales navigator because of price and because the features I had in a previous edition are no longer available. I will reevaluate this when my subscription renews.
Good for getting names from companies.

I find it a little difficult to manage for a recruiting agency, as I have multiple prospects, clients, and prospects. A bit overwhelming to use for both business development and recruitment.
