Overall Satisfaction with LinkedIn Sales Navigator

We use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to give us an edge on finding contacts on LinkedIn -- by company, job description, etc. Sales Navigator gives us a more robust search as well as LinkedIn Inmail credits that we can use to contact a lead once we find them. It also lets us follow companies to get the latest news on them to assist our marketing efforts.
  • Robust search filters to locate contacts.
  • Teams functionality lets you connect your entire team to leverage social connections.
  • Ability to save "leads" that will then provide contact and company news when available.
  • It is not a cheap tool and must be used wisely to see an ROI.
  • When dispensing licenses for employees, they can only have the level you currently have (team or professional).
  • Prefer they don't operate in two silos with messaging (Linkedin and Sales Navigator).
  • It has positively gotten us in front of premium prospects to sell our products.
  • It has helped us leverage thought leadership through relationship building.
  • It has proven to be a bit of a money pit for employees who don't use it properly or regularly.
Linkedin Sales Navigator has a specific role in your sales strategy -- to help you find the right person based on their job title or company, etc. DiscoverOrg and SalesLoft dig a bit deeper into giving more comprehensive contact information like email and address. Those options have a far greater price point because of how much deeper they go, though.
If you need unlimited searching capabilities that help you access anyone who is on the LinkedIn platform, this is your ticket. You can find specific job titles very quickly, but if you don't have a proven marketing or sales strategy to connect with those people, it will just be an expense.
