You just need to click on it to export your leads and get their emails.

In this guide, you'll learn:

• How to export your leads from Sales Navigator step by step

How to Export Leads from LinkedIn 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 Data Can You Export from LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

You can get 3 types of data you can get when your export leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

1. Profile information
2. Company details
3. Verified emails

Let's dive in!

Profile Information

With GiveMeLeads, every export includes essential profile data:

This information identifies each lead clearly.

Company details

GiveMeLeads goes beyond basic LinkedIn profile scraping.

It also pulls detailed company data for every lead, giving you both personal and business-level insights in a single export.

Verified emails

On LinkedIn, you can sometimes find a lead's email by clicking on their Contact Info — but that only works if they're a 1st-degree connection. And even then, most people don't add their email to their profile.

So if you're doing outreach at scale, you'll need another solution.

GiveMeLeads finds the professional email of every lead including 2nd and 3rd-degree connections.

Just toggle the "Find Emails" button before launching your export.

You can also enrich your leads later. Go to the GiveMeLeads homepage and click "Find Emails" on any existing export.

A few minutes later, your file is ready with verified emails for every lead.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator Export Limits: What You Need to Know

When you export leads from Sales Navigator, you'll run into 2 limits.

Here's what they are and how to work around them.

Limit 1: Search Results Are Capped at 2,500 Leads

LinkedIn only shows 100 pages of results per search. Each page has 25 profiles.

That means you can only access 2,500 leads per search, no matter how many results your query returns.

How to work around it:

Split your search into smaller segments using filters like:

• Function
• Seniority level
• Industry
• Geography
• Company headcount

Each segment becomes its own search under 2,500 leads. You export them separately and combine the files at the end. This way you can cover your entire target market without hitting the wall.

Limit 2: LinkedIn Monitors Your Daily Activity

LinkedIn doesn't publish official limits, but the platform actively monitors unusual activity. If you extract too many leads too fast, your account can get restricted or banned.

Based on our experience, here's what we recommend:

• Stay under 2,500 leads per day
• Don't run multiple scraping tools at the same time
• Avoid using multiple tools at once (e.g. GiveMeLeads + another scraping tool)

GiveMeLeads is built to stay within these limits automatically. You don't have to worry about it.

A Note on Data Accuracy

Sales Navigator has the freshest B2B data available. But no database is perfect.

Keep these points in mind before you start outreach:

• Some profiles may not be fully up to date
• Email verification rates vary depending on your target audience
• Company data depends on how complete each LinkedIn profile is

Always do a quick sanity check on your most important leads before reaching out.

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

LinkedIn caps every search at 2,500 results. But that doesn't mean you're stuck.

The fix is simple: split your search into smaller segments, each under 2,500 leads. Then export them one by one and combine the files at the end.

Here's how to do it:

Start with your base search. Apply your core filters like job title, industry, and location. If the results show more than 2,500 leads, add an extra filter to bring it down.

The easiest filters to use for segmentation are:

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.

Example: You're targeting "Head of Sales" in Europe and you get 8,000 results. Split it into 4 searches by geography: UK, France, DACH, and Southern Europe. Each search now returns under 2,500 leads and you can export them separately.

Once all your exports are done, download each file and merge them in Google Sheets or Excel. GiveMeLeads automatically removes duplicates, so you don't have to worry about the same lead appearing twice.

How to export leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator for free?

You can export leads for free by copying and pasting data manually from each profile into a spreadsheet.

It costs nothing. But it doesn't scale.

Got 5 leads? Fine. Got 100? You're looking at 2 to 3 hours of copy-paste work, with no email addresses at the end of it.

GiveMeLeads does the same job in minutes. You get a clean, structured file with verified emails, ready to use.

How to use data extracted from LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

Now that you've exported a list of leads with all the right information, it's time to put that data to work.

Here are a few ways you can use it effectively:

1. Send personalized LinkedIn DMs
2. Send cold emails
3. Run multichannel outreach campaigns (LinkedIn + email)

1 - Send LinkedIn DMs

Since your exported list includes each lead's LinkedIn profile URL, you can easily reach out to them directly on LinkedIn.

This approach is great for warming up your prospects and starting genuine conversations before pitching anything. You can do it manually, or use a B2B prospecting tool like Waalaxy to send personalized messages at scale while staying within LinkedIn's limits.

Just make sure your message feels human — mention something relevant from their profile or recent post, and keep it short and natural.

2 - Send cold emails

Your exported list also includes verified work emails. That's perfect to launch targeted cold email campaigns.

Use the data from Sales Navigator — such as job title, company size, or industry — to personalize your message and increase your reply rate.

For example:

Hi {{FirstName}}, I noticed you're leading {{CompanyName}}'s growth in {{Industry}}. I thought you might be interested in…

We recommend tools like Instantly to help you automate and manage your campaigns safely while keeping your deliverability high.

3 - Multichannel outreach (mail + LinkedIn)

The most effective strategy often combines both LinkedIn and email.

Start by connecting or engaging with your lead on LinkedIn — a like, comment, or message can make your name familiar. Then follow up with a personalized email a few days later.

This mix builds trust and increases your chances of getting a reply since your prospect has already seen your name before.

Tools like Lemlist can work hand in hand to automate this multichannel approach.

How to Export LinkedIn Sales Navigator Leads to Your CRM (Without Advanced Plus)

LinkedIn Sales Navigator offers native CRM integrations… But only if you're on the Advanced Plus plan.

It doesn't work with the Core and Advanced plan.

The Advanced plan doesn't have public pricing, and to get access, you need to talk to LinkedIn's sales team.

But in short: it's expensive, and mostly designed for large sales teams.

How to export leads to your CRM without Advanced Plus

If syncing leads to your CRM is part of your workflow, you have a much simpler option:

👉 Use GiveMeLeads to export the leads and import your leads in your CRM.

With GiveMeLeads, you can export your LinkedIn Sales Navigator leads with verified business emails in just a few clicks.

Once your leads are exported to CSV, simply import the file into your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive… they all support this).

No tech setup. No enterprise pricing. Just your leads, ready to work with.
