# #1 LinkedIn Sales Navigator

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is LinkedIn's paid prospecting product: 50+ search filters across LinkedIn members and companies, saved lead and account lists, job-change and account alerts, 50 InMail credits a month, and CRM sync on its top tier. Website: linkedin.com. Category: [LinkedIn Outreach](https://gtmranked.com/best/linkedin-automation/). Score 57/100 (12 positive, 6 mixed, 1 negative of 19 independent comments).

**Verdict:** Of 58 comments, 19 independent ones carry an opinion (12 positive, 6 mixed, 1 negative). Users treat it as the best way to search LinkedIn's own data, valuing its filters and job-change signals for targeted, lower-volume prospecting, but say lists are hard to get out of the product, the UX is clunky, and it does no outreach automation on its own; whether it is expensive is contested. 26 of the 58 comments (45%) were promotional, mostly scraper, enrichment and LinkedIn automation vendors pitching themselves, including three accounts repeating the same 'scrape Sales Nav, then waterfall-enrich with Airscale' workflow and paired plugs for ProspectZero, Depost AI and Scrupp.

**What users like:**
- Filters such as company size, excluded titles and recently active on LinkedIn make it easy to target very specific profiles [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/pct0eed/) [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/ozzct5r/) [3](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/ozj4yf2/) [4](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/oziiurp/) [5](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeadGeneration/comments/1m6avwg/_/n4i64zv/)
- Job-change and hiring signals help time outreach; one team says filtering exports to job changes in the last 30 days lifted reply rate from about 1.5% to 6% on the same copy [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1teaipg/_/om7849u/) [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1wxzl6u/_/pdyedps/) [3](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1wxzl6u/_/pe68ip5/)
- Gives direct access to LinkedIn's own data, which users rate above third-party databases [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/ozivrlt/)
- The 50 monthly InMails let you message prospects without waiting for a connection request to be accepted [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/ozzct5r/) [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/pct0eed/)

**What users complain about:**
- Clunky UX, and lists are hard to export; they stay inside Sales Navigator unless you add another tool to pull the data out [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/ozivrlt/) [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/ozj4yf2/) [3](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/p0pjstw/)
- Industry filters are broad, so it works best when you already know who you want and is harder to use from a job title alone [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1wxzl6u/_/pdyerj8/)
- One user found InMail reply rates consistently worse than regular LinkedIn messages and concluded it wasn't worth it [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/ozj4yf2/)
- Suits lower-volume enterprise targeting more than mass list building, and gets expensive once a startup scales seats [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeadGeneration/comments/1m6avwg/_/n4i64zv/) [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1wxzl6u/_/pe5gov7/)
- Messages are split across two separate inboxes [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/b2bmarketing/comments/1v5ccub/_/ozzct5r/)
