How to Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator with LeadContact
Why This Integration Works So Well
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is the most powerful prospecting tool on the market. 900M+ professionals, advanced search filters, and rich profile data. But it has limitations: no verified contact info, limited outreach capabilities, and no direct path to decision-maker inboxes.
LeadContact fills these gaps. Extract verified emails and phone numbers without leaving LinkedIn. Message prospects where they're most likely to respond. Build multi-channel sequences starting from Sales Navigator profiles.
- 3x more meetings booked from Sales Navigator prospects
- 47% higher response rates from multi-channel outreach
- 10+ hours saved weekly on manual data entry
Getting Started: Setup in 3 Minutes
Step 1: Install LeadContact Chrome Extension
Add the LeadContact extension to Chrome. Takes 30 seconds. The extension appears on every LinkedIn and Sales Navigator profile, showing verified contact data instantly.
Step 2: Connect Your LeadContact Account
Sign in to LeadContact through the extension. Your verified contact data, decision-maker identification, and AI-powered outreach are now enabled on LinkedIn.
Step 3: Start Prospecting on Sales Navigator

Phase 3: Craft Personalized Outreach
Use AI-Powered Outreach (Free):

Day 3 – Email Follow-Up:
Send value-add email to verified address extracted via LeadContact. Reference the LinkedIn connection. Provide case study, insight, or resource relevant to their role.
Day 7 – Phone Call:
Call direct phone number (not switchboard). Reference LinkedIn and email touchpoints. Build human connection. "Hi [Name], I reached out on LinkedIn and email regarding [topic] – wanted to briefly explore..."
Result: Multi-channel touchpoints boost response rates by 47% compared to single-channel outreach.
LeadContact Tip: Track all touchpoints in your CRM. HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Notion – LeadContact syncs to all major CRMs. See full communication history in one place.
