LinkedIn improves Sales Navigator with new features 🆕
LinkedIn has introduced five new updates to its Sales Navigator tool, aimed at making it easier to use and more actionable. The updates focus on identifying opportunities, early adoption, understanding the target audience, and more.
Account Hub: This feature prioritizes users' business accounts based on growth potential, buyer intent, or risk alerts. It provides insights and tools to network or follow up with the exact person showing interest within those accounts. Users can make data-driven account prioritization decisions with all the data they need in one place.
Product Category Intent in Account Hub: This feature shows who on LinkedIn is potentially researching a particular category. It helps distinguish which product a buyer is interested in, especially for companies that sell multiple products. On May 31, Product Category Intent for 770 product categories across various industries will be brought into Account Hub.
Search Functionality: LinkedIn has improved the Search functionality in Sales Navigator. Users can filter down to potential buyers at accounts where someone has expressed high or moderate interest in the past 30 days. They can also include or exclude leads who they’ve recently messaged on LinkedIn or viewed, search by job titles, and search for accounts where their first-degree connections work.
Buyer Intent functionality: LinkedIn is rolling out more Buyer Activities to give sellers more signals that someone is interested in their solution. The new activities will be visible in the Buyer Activity section on Account Pages and in the new Account Hub.
CRM: LinkedIn has improved the CRM Auto-Save functionality, allowing users to manually add accounts to the My CRM Accounts list on Sales Navigator. The improvement allows the CRM Auto-Save list to auto-generate based on the CRM, saving time from having to set up and actively manage the list, while also providing the necessary tools to fill in the gaps and add any accounts that may be missing.
These updates are expected to make selling more efficient for sellers and buyers alike on LinkedIn's Sales Navigator platform.
