      Here’s my LinkedIn Sales Navigator hot take on most underrated, powerful hidden gems on the platform?🔥

      What if you had an AI-powered research assistant that could help you learn what you need to know about your prospect and you didn’t have to pay to use another software tool because LinkedIn created it inside their own platform for you to use. Well it’s here and it’s fire.

      Lead IQ acts as an AI-powered research assistant, giving you a summary of key information on a lead and their company with a single click. Instead of having to browse a profile and make guesses, Lead IQ digs into a lead's public activity, like their recent posts, and even their connections to uncover valuable insights.

      It also pulls in strategic priorities and business challenges from Account IQ, giving you a more complete picture of what the LinkedIn user and the company cares about.

      I'm using this feature to get the context I need to send better, more personalized LinkedIn connection requests and follow-up messages.

      Lead IQ helps me find conversational hooks that are relevant to the person's account behavior, so my outreach feels less "salesy" and more human. This is how you lead a conversation toward a booked meeting.

      A heads-up: this feature is currently only available to LinkedIn Sales Navigator Advanced and Advanced Plus subscribers. However, according to LinkedIn's website, they are gradually releasing this powerful feature for use with Sales Navigator Core as well. Get ready, because prospecting is about to get a whole lot smarter!

        Hi ​@Damien-XocialGong, thanks for putting a spotlight on this. You described really well how Lead IQ and Account IQ can support sellers in getting valuable context quickly. These insights make it much easier to personalize outreach and focus on what really matters to your prospects. For anyone who has not tried Account IQ yet, here is a short video overview that shows how it works in practice. And if you want to dive deeper into Lead IQ, you can also explore more resources in the Sales Navigator Learning Center.
