Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Sales Navigator

My team uses LinkedIn Sales Navigator to to better understand people's roles within an organization.
  • My favorite feature about LinkedIn Sales Navigator is that it is easy to sort out people based upon job titles and keywords
  • When viewing others' profiles in LinkedIn, it does not notify the person that you are viewing their profile
  • I like being able to send them a message through LinkedIn
  • It would be great if there was a way to sync Linkedin contact info with Salesforce
  • I wish more contact info was provided and not having to use InMail credits
  • I wish it would not pull up previous employees who worked at company, but no longer do
  • I have created several opportunities to take the next step with a prospect via LinkedIn. Often times a prospect will check their Linkedin messages as opposed to receiving an email.
One great feature DiscoverOrg has that LinkedIn Sales does not have is the prospects contact info ie. email and phone #
It is great for prospecting and learning about how you can tailor your sales process to what is relevant to the prospect. It is not always guarenteed they will respond to you. A cool feature might be if LinkedIn sent prospects you have requested to connect with a follow-up reminder.
