Can You Export More Than 2,500 Leads From Sales Navigator?

Quick answer: Yes, but you need to bypass the limit

By default, Sales Navigator only lets you view the first 100 pages of any search.

Each page contains 25 profiles, which means you're limited to 2,500 visible leads per search, no matter how many results your query generates.

So even if your search returns 18,000 leads, LinkedIn will only show you the first 2,500.

The rest are hidden behind the pagination cap.

This limitation is frustrating for anyone trying to build large lead lists at scale — especially sales teams, agencies, and recruiters.

But there’s a simple strategy to bypass this: segment your search using filters so that each result stays under the 2,500 threshold.

We’ll show you exactly how to do that.

How to Export More Than 2,500 Leads on Sales Navigator

Step 1: Use filters to split your search

The trick is to break your search using filters like:

1. Function

2. Seniority level

3. Years in current company

4. Years in current position

5. Geography

6. Etc

Each filter reduces the total number of results.

Each time you try a filter, don't forget that your goal is to keep each search under 2,500 leads.

Real example:

Let's say you want to reach out to "Chief Marketing Officer" in a company headcount > 11 people.

And you only want leads who have posted on LinkedIn recently.

For that, we need to use 3 filters.

• Current job title: "CMO"

• Company Headcount: More than 11 people

• Posted on LinkedIn: True

When I do this search, I have 8,5k results:

If I want to extract all the CMO, I need to segment my search.

In this case, "Seniority level" and "Function" are not relevant because a "Chief Marketing Officer" is a C-level with high seniority level.

That's why I will use the filter "Years in current position".

If we split the search, here's what we have:

Step 2: Save your segmented searches

I recommend you to save each of your segmented searches in a spreadsheet. Like Excel, or Google Sheet for example.

For that, you select the Sales Navigator URL of each of your search, and paste it in your spreadsheet.

Then, open a spreadsheet with 2 columns:

1. The search

2. The URL

How to Export your leads from Sales Navigator

Follow the 7 steps to export your leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator with their verified emails:

1. Create a GiveMeLeads account

2. Download the Chrome Extension

3. Select your target on LinkedIn Sales Navigator

4. Add Intent Data (Optional)

5. Launch your export

6. Schedule Your Leads Export (Optional)

7. Download your leads file

Let's dive in!

Step 1: Create a GiveMeLeads account

Go on GiveMeLeads. Then click on "Get first 10 leads for free".

Then, you have to write your:

1. First Name

2. Last Name

3. Email

4. Password

And click on "Create account".

Step 2: Download the Chrome Extension

The GiveMeLeads Chrome extension allows you to export your LinkedIn Sales Navigator leads with one click.

It's not mandatory to use it — you can also copy and paste the Sales Navigator search URL directly into the platform.

However, using the extension makes the process faster and easier, especially if you're just getting started.

Step 3: Select your target on LinkedIn Sales Navigator

Go to LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Use filters to find your ideal leads (like job title, company size, or location).

Then click “Extract leads” using the GiveMeLeads extension or paste the search URL on the platform.

Step 4: Add Intent Data (Optional)

Depending on your GiveMeLeads plan, you can add intent data to your searches.

It’s a great way to find warm leads — people who are more likely to reply or book a call.

Let’s say your LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters are:

• Company size: 51–200 employees

• Job title: “Head of Sales”

• Location: San Francisco Bay Area

On top of that, GiveMeLeads will look for people who match these filters and show intent, such as:

• 1st-degree connections

• People in your competitors’ network

• People who follow your company page

• People who viewed your LinkedIn profile

Once you’ve selected your intent data sources, click “Save Changes”

💡 Pro tip: You can set priorities for each source. For example, you can give more weight to 1st-degree connections than profile viewers.

💡Pro tip #2: If you work with multiple sales reps (or co-founders), you can use all of their LinkedIn accounts to get more and better leads. Each account brings its own network, 1st-degree connections, and profile viewers — which means more warm leads for your team.

Step 5: Launch your export

You target is set up. Now it's time to export your leads.

For that, click on "New Leads Export".

You will get a pop-up where you can select:

• The number of leads you want to export

• If you want to schedule this export on a weekly basis.

Then click on "Export Leads".

Step 6: Schedule Your Leads Export (Optional)

GiveMeLeads lets you schedule lead exports. Pick the day you want, and you’ll receive fresh leads weekly.

Once set up, you'll get a fresh list of leads every week — automatically.

Each lead is unique, and the system ensures there are no duplicates. This saves you time and keeps your CRM clean, so you can focus on outreach, not data cleaning.

Then, you’ll automatically receive new leads every week — no manual work needed.

You can focus 100% on what really matters: sending emails, starting LinkedIn conversations, and booking meetings.

💡 Pro tip: With scheduled exports, you can easily build lead files with more than 2,500 fresh, qualified contacts delivered straight to your inbox every week.

Step 7: Download your leads file

When your export is finished, you’ll receive an email with a download link.

You can also download your file directly by clicking the "Download" button in your dashboard. You’ll see two options.

1. "Open in Sheets"

This gives you a simple version of your lead list.

You have:

• Source (Sales Navigator, 1st-degree, profile viewers…)

• First Name

• Last Name

• Profile picture

• Company name

• Job title

• Headline

• LinkedIn URL

• Email

It doesn’t include all the data, but it’s perfect if you just want to import leads into your CRM or outreach tool like Lemlist or Expandi.

2. "Download CSV"

This gives you the full file with all available data. For each lead, you’ll see extra info like:

• Whether they have LinkedIn Premium

• Their total years of experience

• Company details like size, industry, and location

• Etc

Here's all the informations you can have:

💡 Pro tip: Don’t forget to scroll horizontally — there's a lot of valuable data in your lead file, including job titles, company size, verified emails, and even intent signals.

On top of that, GiveMeLeads automatically cleans your data:

• Fixes capital letters in names and job titles

• Removes emojis from job titles

• Removes legal suffixes in company names (like LLC, GmbH, etc.)

GiveMeLeads also checks if each lead matches your LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters.

If a lead doesn’t fit — for example, they have:

• An invalid job title

• Invalid location

• Wrong company size work

• Etc

We tag them in the column "filters" with the reason they’re invalid (like “Invalid job title” or “Wrong company size”).

That way, you keep full control of your data and don’t waste time guessing why a lead doesn’t match your targeting. We make sure your boolean search is respected.
