How to import searches from Sales Navigator?

Step 1 — Access the lead import section

  1. In La Growth Machine, go to the Audiences tab.

  2. Click on Import leads then on Import from LinkedIn.

Step 2 — Retrieve the Sales Navigator list

  1. Click on LinkedIn Sales Navigator. A LinkedIn page will automatically open to help you search for your prospects via Sales Navigator.

  2. If you already have a search, just paste the search link directly into La Growth Machine.

Step 3 — Import the participants

  1. Copy the LinkedIn search link (URL of the page).

  2. Choose the identity you want to use for the import (make sure the identity has access to Sales Navigator).

  3. Paste it into La Growth Machine.

And voilà, you'll have the content of your Sales Navigator search in LGM!

How to use Sales Navigator filters?

Here is our introduction to segmentation guide:

Effective segmentation and targeting

To optimize your results, use the following filters:

  1. Locations: Choose specific geographic regions.

  2. Industries: Select relevant industries.

  3. Job Titles: Filter by job titles.

Advanced filter usage

You can also add additional filters, such as the number of employees in the company, to further refine your search.

If you want to be even more precise, you can select specific leads from your search and add them to a list.

Watch out for Sales Navigator limits

⚠️ Important: When you perform a search using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you get 100 pages with 25 leads per page, totaling 2500 leads. Therefore, you cannot import more than 2500 leads into LGM.

Tip to bypass this limit

To import more than 2500 leads, use additional filters and break your search into smaller searches. For example:

  1. Start with Paris.

  2. Import the results.

  3. Continue searching for leads in Lyon.

  4. Import again, and so on.

🔥 Pro tip: Segmentation is the KEY (=80% of your work). If done well with a targeted approach, you won’t have a huge audience to import!
