Alright team, let’s cut to the chase—Sales Navigator isn’t just a shiny tool to look busy during pipeline reviews. It’s your secret weapon... if you use it right. So before you go rogue on your outreach, here are 9 best practices to jumpstart your journey from "just browsing" to "closed-won champion."
- Upload Your Book of Business – This is step one, folks. No upload = no insights. It's like bringing a fork to a soup fight.
- Focus on Top Accounts – Not all leads are created equal. Prioritize the ones that scream “I’m ready to buy!” (and not just “I like free trials”).
- Find the Right Buyers – That intern you’re emailing can’t approve a million-dollar deal. Use the filters. Get to the budget holders.
- Find Warm Paths In – Cold calls are basically rejection speedruns. Find connections and use them.
- Stay Up-to-Date – Your deal might be dying while you’re bingeing “Succession.” Set up alerts. Be the first to know, not the last to follow up.
- Sell When Buyers Are Ready – Use intent signals. If they’re searching, they’re buying. Don’t miss the window.
- Discover Customer Insights – Walk into meetings like a mind reader, not a cold caller.
- Personalize Outreach – Ditch the “Hi /FirstName]” spam. Use real insights to make real connections.
- Multi-thread Like a Pro – One contact isn’t enough. Build your army of champions.
