In La Growth Machine, you can import from standard LinkedIn as well as LinkedIn Sales Navigator. While the latter is free, there are a few limitations that you should be aware of that may restrict your ability to import leads.

Standard LinkedIn is great at first glance because it's free. But a big restriction exists: you cannot see leads that are Out of your network. LinkedIn only allows you to search for people up to your 3rd-degree connections - People who are connected to your 2nd-degree connections. You'll see a 3rd-degree icon next to their name in search results and on their profile.

When people are outside of your network, some fields will have limited visibility as described here, but you can build your network with other valuable connections to see more profiles.

This means that when you're trying to import them into La Growth Machine, we won't be able to import them. In that case, you'll receive a notification mentioning that some leads couldn't be imported because they were out of your Network

To gain access to leads outside of your network, you'll need to purchase LinkedIn Sales Navigator

Even though segmentation is highly recommended, sometimes you need to target very large audiences. Your search results may end up with more than 1000 leads.
​
Unfortunately, when you do a standard search, LinkedIn restricts the results to 100 pages, with 10 leads / Pages. And when you do the maths, 100 x 10 = 1000 leads in total. That’s why you can’t import more than 1000 leads into LGM with this basic plan.

To work around that issue :

Similar to the issue with standard searches on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator has 2.500 leads. To be precise, within a search, LinkedIn will show you 100 pages with 25 leads/page, so 2500 leads in total!

🔥 TIPS: Anyhow, remember that segmentation is KEY (=80% of your work) and if you are doing it right with a targeted approach, then you won’t have a large audience to import!
