Hi ​@Kamille_Community Manager Here’s my approach to researching prospects and tailoring outreach in Sales Navigator:

Key Details I Look For:

  • Recent activity and content shared: If a prospect has posted or engaged with content in the past month, it’s a strong sign they’re active and open to new connections. I reference their posts or comments to open the conversation.
  • Job changes or promotions: I look for prospects who’ve recently changed roles or companies—this is a great trigger for a warm, relevant outreach.
  • Mutual connections and TeamLink paths: I check for shared connections or TeamLink introductions, which help establish trust and boost response rates.
  • Company news and growth signals: I track companies mentioned in the news, recent funding, or leadership changes, as these often signal new initiatives or needs.
  • Function, seniority, and department growth: I filter by role and department size to ensure I’m reaching decision-makers in expanding teams.

How I Use These Details to Tailor Outreach:

  • I start messages by referencing something specific—like a recent post, a job change, or company news—to show I’ve done my homework and make the outreach feel personal.
  • If we have mutual connections, I mention them or ask for an introduction to warm up the conversation.
  • For prospects at companies with recent growth or changes, I highlight how my solution aligns with their current priorities or challenges.
  • I adjust my messaging based on their role—focusing on strategic outcomes for leaders, or practical benefits for end users.

This targeted approach not only increases my response rates but also helps build more authentic, trust-based relationships from the very first touchpoint. Looking forward to learning how others personalize their outreach!

 


Hey ​@Sinchu Raju, love this so much, thanks for sharing! Great to see how you’re using Sales Navigator in such a thoughtful and strategic way. Personalizing outreach based on real insights like activity, job changes, and company news clearly makes a huge difference. Really looking forward to learning how others are approaching this too!
