Asks teammate for an introduction

In users’ own words: Sales Navigator has been a

valuable tool for prospecting

LSS 12

“I found that my target knew one

my past colleagues. I used that

connection to get a warm intro

and was able to get a conversation

going. I think that connection made

all the difference.”

“When prospecting for an

account, I have found all

the relevant decision

makers.”

“I have set up three key

meetings through LinkedIn

and will be targeting more

influencers soon.”
