How To Export More Than 2500 Leads in Sales Navigator Searches?

You've just built a perfect search on LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

It shows 8,000 leads.

But LinkedIn only lets you see… 2,500 leads.

Good news, there's a way to export more than 2,500 leads on LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

In this article, you will discover:

• Why LinkedIn Sales Navigator limits you to 2,500 leads per search
• How to bypass this limit using smart filters
• A real-world example of how to split a large search into smaller segments
• How to keep track of each search to avoid duplicates
• The fastest way to export all your leads from Sales Navigator into a CSV file

Let's dive in!

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 6 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. Launch your export
5. Schedule your export (Optional)
6. Download your leads file

Let's dive in!

Step 1: Create a GiveMeLeads account

Go on GiveMeLeads. Then click on "Get first 20 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

To get started, install the GiveMeLeads Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Once installed, it integrates directly into LinkedIn Sales Navigator, allowing you to extract your leads instantly while browsing your search results or saved lead lists.

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). Like decision makers for example.

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

Step 4: Launch your export

Your target is set up. Now it's time to export your leads. For that, click on "New Export".

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

• The number of leads you want to export
• If you want to get the verified emails (of all leads or filtered leads only)
• If you want to schedule this export on a weekly basis

Then click on "Export Leads".

Step 5: Schedule your leads export (Optional)

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

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.

Step 6: 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:

• matches_filters / invalid_reason
• 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 a B2B 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, and company details like size, industry, and location.

GiveMeLeads also 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. Leads that don't fit are tagged in the matches_filters column with the reason they're invalid (like "Invalid job title" or "Wrong company size"). That way, you keep full control of your data.

With GiveMeLeads, you also get the verified professional email of every lead — even if they're in your 2nd or 3rd-degree connections.

What are the Sales Navigator Limitations?

Even if you split your search, LinkedIn still limits your daily export volume.

You can only export up to 2,500 leads per day. If you do more, it's not safe for your LinkedIn account.

So if you want to export 8,000 leads, here's how to do it:
