LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a staple in any sales rep’s tool belt. The software offers research capabilities that enhance the prospecting efforts of sales professionals. The insights gained from LinkedIn Sales Navigator help reps hone their audience and personalize their outreach, making it a must-have for sales teams that want to boost their prospecting efforts.
What makes the tool both unique and powerful is its specificity. Whereas other research tools may deliver outdated or partial information, LinkedIn Sales Navigator pulls data straight from its users. That means you have the most current and accurate information on your prospects, delivered straight from the user-operated source.
That said, LinkedIn Sales Navigator delivers more advanced features than the regular LinkedIn tool by building an isolated feed of prospects and target accounts. Sales reps are always up to date on their target accounts and able to access relevant data.
It’s common knowledge that sales teams invested in success use LinkedIn Sales Navigator. As one expert user of the tool says, “Only LinkedIn offers real-time, dynamic data that is self-managed by users who are motivated to keep their profile info accurate. And only Sales Navigator enables sales teams to tap into the full extent and power of that data.”
The question isn’t if you should be using LinkedIn Sales Navigator–it’s what version. Here’s a breakdown of LinkedIn Sales Navigator pricing and features to help you choose the right option.
