What are LinkedIn Sales Navigator Saved Searches

When you open your Sales Navigator, and you're on the dashboard, you can see this feature "Saved searches".

A LinkedIn Sales Navigator Saved Search lets you save the filters you've used in a search.

You can save a lead or an account search:

Once saved, LinkedIn keeps working in the background. When new leads or accounts match your filters, you'll get an alert. It's like setting up a smart trigger.

It's very useful if you do LinkedIn account based marketing. When you target specific accounts.

You'll also get alerts each week:

• On your Sales Navigator dashboard (on Notifications)
• By email

How to Export Saved Searches on Sales Navigator

You've created a list of leads with your saved search.

Now, you probably want to get them into your CRM or grab their contact info to start your outreach.

But here's the problem:

LinkedIn Sales Navigator doesn't let you export leads natively.

You need a tool to export your leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator into a CSV file.
