LinkedIn is just the first touchpoint with your leads. After that, it’s important to pass the clients to the sales team, which is often done through a CRM for LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article explores the direct integration of Linked Helper with various Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. Many integrations are also available via webhooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll also compare this with the direct integration capabilities offered by LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Recruiter. Which is more convenient? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What is LinkedIn integration with a CRM?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Integration in this context means connecting two different software solutions for data transfer through an Application Programming Interface (API).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can transfer client data from LinkedIn profiles \u2013 their contacts, profile descriptions, and everything else. Messages with a lead, whether InMails or regular messages, can also be transferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integration can be one-way or two-way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can send client data to Salesforce in a one-way CRM integration with LinkedIn. Alternatively, you can transfer data about Open Opportunities from Salesforce to find these profiles on LinkedIn or find similar potential audiences in a two-way integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Only LinkedIn paid plans have direct integration with a CRM<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some CRMs themselves allow connecting to LinkedIn \u2013 but they can only be connected to LinkedIn’s paid solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and HubSpot provide<\/a> direct LinkedIn Sales Navigator CRM sync. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these integration methods, you won’t find the same flexible customization in creating, adding, and removing variables between the CRM and LinkedIn<\/em><\/strong> that you get when integrating through Linked Helper. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an important advantage! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for the most part, your options for direct integration are limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from early 2024, Recruiter also supports direct integrations through the CRM Connect feature.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This list includes all systems that can be connected to Recruiter. Some even allow synchronizing Google Meet and Zoom calls with Recruiter and receiving emails from Gmail and Outlook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if LinkedIn is a source for your account-based marketing (ABM) strategy, you might be satisfied with the Basic or Premium plan and not need a Sales Navigator subscription. Or Sales Navigator may not yet integrate with your CRM. In that case, it’s better to consider integration through Linked Helper for any of the CRMs you’ll see listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integration through Linked Helper is more advantageous due to pre-automation, initial qualification, and filtering.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can create a funnel in LinkedIn that better prepares the lead before it appears in the CRM. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linked Helper automates the process of engaging with leads \u2013 likes, post boosts, endorsements, follows, and sending connection requests, messages, and follow-ups. This consistent interaction helps you get to know your leads better before they enter your sales pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can start a dialogue and introduce yourself in a friendly manner. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice social selling without aggressive sales pitches via emails and calls. This is especially relevant when reaching out to C-level executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will collect more data from profiles, finding emails without manually copying them to transfer into the CRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy customization. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integration through Linked Helper offers more opportunities to set custom fields in the mapping between the CRM and Linked Helper. Essentially, you can add additional fields in any CRM, for example, for summaries, skills, the number of followers, and other important data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
