What are saved searches on Sales Navigator?

Introduction to Saved Searches

Saved searches is a built-in feature on Sales Navigator that allows you to save searches including keyword strings and filter refinements, so you can quickly run that lead search at any time.

So far it’s straightforward. But whenever you save a search, Sales Navigator also allows you to create an alert frequency to notify with each new leads from a given time period :

  • Daily

  • Weekly

  • Monthly

This is where the magic happens

How to create alerts

Let’s say I have a search set up to identify any new founders/CEO/CTO/COO with less than 1 year of experience. I want to be notified any time a new person appears in that search (namely, somebody that created a new company), I’ll use alerts for that.

Whenever you’re on a finalized search, you can choose to save that search, but also create Alerts

Choose the frequency at which you want to be notified, and you’re done!

Now, if you go to your saved search, you’ll see all the new leads coming up at a designated frequency.

But there’s a small twist. If you go to your saved search and click on the search themselves, LinkedIn will show you all the results for that given search, not just the new one. Make sure to click on the designated number to only access the new leads

Now you’ll see all the new leads ready to be contacted! In my previous search, last week there were 259 new leads to contact! That’s huge.

Importing them into LaGrowthMachine

Now that you have your weekly new results, you can import them using the build in Sales Navigator import feature! LaGrowthMachine will automatically find their email and engage them into your multichannel sequence!

Easy enough to turn these searches into a lead machine in autopilot
