3. Professional email address

Extracting emails from LinkedIn Sales Navigator from LinkedIn can be tricky for a few reasons:

  • Only about 10% of them are available.
  • Many of these emails tend to be personal or outdated, which means you might not get much of a response.
  • They aren’t GDPR compliant.

That’s where Prospeo comes in handy! It doesn’t just extract emails from Linkedin Sales Navigator; it actively finds professional email addresses.

By using all the information available on the LinkedIn profile, Prospeo manages to find around 50% of working email addresses, making it one of the best email finders out there.

According to an independent study by Eric Nowoslawsky & Clay.com, Prospeo finds, on average, 20% more emails than its competitors!

How many leads can I export?

LinkedIn, including LinkedIn Sales Navigator, does have some limitations. Here are two key limitations to keep in mind when exporting on Sales Navigator:

  • LinkedIn Search Limit: You can’t see more than 2500 leads per search.
  • Daily Sales Navigator Export Limit: You can’t export more than 5000 leads per days.

LinkedIn Search Limit

When you’re searching for leads on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, if your results exceed 2500, you won’t be able to access any beyond that number.

This is because LinkedIn displays only the first 100 pages of the search, with 25 leads per page, allowing you to view and extract a maximum of 2500 leads.

For company searches, the limit is 1000 companies since LinkedIn allows access to only the first 40 pages on this type of search.

But don’t worry, there’s a workaround! To extract more emails and leads from Sales Navigator, you can split your search into smaller ones using filters. Here’s a helpful video tutorial to guide you:

Daily Sales Navigator export limit

LinkedIn does tolerate automation tools since many salespeople rely on them, but it’s well-known that using these tools goes against LinkedIn’s regulations. Therefore, it’s crucial to avoid excessive use of any automation tools, including Prospeo, to stay on the safe side.

We recommend keeping your extractions under 5000 leads/companies daily to ensure your account remains secure.

It’s worth noting that Prospeo’s extraction system is particularly user-friendly – it allows you to export your LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches and lists using external accounts, adding an extra layer of safety to your account.

This approach, coupled with the fact that none of our users have ever encountered any LinkedIn limitations due to using our tool, is why we confidently set the daily limit at 5000 leads, while some other tools might suggest a limit of 2500.
