    Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
    Linkedin's simplicity and overall depth of data is the most productive sales prospecting tool in my mind. The way I leveraged InsideView (granted, 6 years ago) has similarities to how I've used Sales Navigator over the past 6 years.

    Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
    Linkedin Sales Navigator has allowed me to access company contact information and analytical data. This has led to more personal connections and leads generated. InsideView is great for industry information and org chart hierarchy, but I found the data to be inaccurate in some …

    Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
    LinkedIn has a social selling presence that is hard to achieve with the others. It also helps build rapport for future opportunities.

    Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
    It wouldn't be my top choice, but it's definitely a useful resource for lead generation. It is one of the most accurate in regards to current employees.

    Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
    Much better data quality, because it is reported by people themselves. However, data exporting capabilities are almost non-existent in Sales Navigator, compared to Inside View.

    Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
    Linkedin Sales Navigator is a great prospecting tool, although I use it concurrently with the other products. This is because LinkedIn Sales Navigator does not provide actual contact information like email or phone numbers. When prospecting, I like to make my outreach more …

    LinkedIn Sales Navigator is hands down the best tool for identifying targeted contacts or leads. You can drill down on a company and look at its entire workforce, or search by the exact title that is your key target. The information is up to date, as people tend to keep their LinkedIn profiles current. In terms of other marketing functions LI Sales Navigator is extremely limited. BUT if you are looking to identify contacts for prospecting purposes, then this tool is what you need.

    LinkedIn
    • Search Functionality: LinkedIn Sales Navigator has one of the most powerful search functions. The filters are not unnecessary and some are very well thought of. You can drill down to finding a needle in a haystack of 20000 employee company when it comes to using LinkedIn Sales Navigator if done in the right manner.
    • Smart Links: Gone are the days of attached Decks. One can simply create their deck online using this feature on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or even upload an existing ppt. A smart link is shareable as well as trackable for opens and clicks.
    • Fewer Clicks: With a single click, I can filter out decision-makers in any company. With a single click, I can import contacts from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Salesforce. Lesser clicks are actually less stressful if you think.

    • Inbox needs work - too much confusion around your LinkedIn inbox and Sales Nav inbox
    • Sorting - need a better, faster way to sort by for prospect lists and account lists
    • Only voluntarily shared information. No cross checking or using API’s like a ZoomInfo

    This question is a no-brainer. The tool is the industry standard for anyone tied to sales and marketing. The name "LinkedIn Sales Navigator" is synonymous with streamlining relevant customer and account data in an easy to use format that is actionable and intelligent. The focus on continuous improvement and richer means of communicating with customers and prospects is evident each time new features are rolled out. The social component of the tool even includes a gamification component to ensure that peers remain relevant among each other, which is refreshing and enjoyable for those who engage the tool on a daily basis.

    Overall, it's very user-friendly. It's hard for a tool to make sorting through loads of data easy, but Sales Nav does this very well. Its advanced search features enable us to be selective in finding the right people to talk to and connect with.

    I would recommend LinkedIn Sales Navigator entirely. It has been the most user-friendly tool to use starting off in a sales role. I genuinely enjoy the navigation of the tool and how easy it is to save lists and see job changes within those lists. Generating leads and finding the most up to date information on prospects is all housed within this tool.

    I am unsure of the rollout, as I was not involved. I was an early adopter, and I have had a lot of success with the tool personally at multiple organizations, but I have no idea whether the implementation process encountered any errors. I can personally say that it works, and that I have not encountered significant issues with the tool since adoption, although a few issues like messages showing up as being unread even though they have been opened have been an on-again/off-again issues throughout the past few years. Overall, the company is doing a great job, and our implementation seems to have been effective.

    LinkedIn Sales Navigator is much more valuable than Dice or Cognism, as we do most of our prospecting on LinkedIn. Therefore, it means we can build lists of our prospects based on activity, connections, and buying intention. With Cognism and Dice, you cannot do this as they do not work alongside the LinkedIn platform and, therefore, lack the functionality that is essential to what we are using the platform for.
