Creating a Sales Navigator Search (Video Guide)

Video Guide

This guide explains how to create an effective lead search using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and prepare it for export into your LinkedClient platform.

Step 1: Open LinkedIn Sales Navigator

1. Log in to your Sales Navigator account at linkedin.com/sales.
2. Once on the homepage, click on “Lead Filters” (indicated by a plus sign +) to access advanced search options.

Step 2: Understand Export Limitations

Important: Sales Navigator allows you to export up to 2,500 leads per export.

• You can export more than 2,500 people by creating multiple searches or using the same link across different export sessions.
• It’s recommended to target 2,500 leads or fewer per search to stay within the limit.

Step 3: Apply Basic Filters

1. Start building your lead list by setting filters.
2. Recommended initial filters:
   • Geography – e.g., Luxembourg
   • Job Title – e.g., Data Specialist
   • Company Headcount – e.g., 1,000–5,000 employees
   • Years in Current Company – for more experienced leads
3. As you apply filters, observe the results counter in the top right to monitor how many leads match your criteria.

Step 4: Finalise and Copy the Search URL

1. Once you're satisfied with your filtered search, copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
2. This URL will be used in the LinkedClient platform to import your lead list.

Step 5: Next Steps in LinkedClient

Once you have your Sales Navigator URL:

• Go to the LinkedClient platform.
• Follow the process to Import Contacts using the URL you just generated.
• For step-by-step instructions on the import process, refer to our dedicated guide: "How to Import Contacts into LinkedClient".
