The fact is that you can manage several service packages on LinkedIn, for example Sales Navigator and a normal free plan. You may use the first one to collect your database (since this solution has advanced filtering functionality and the ability to sort lists) while sending messages from the basic profile (so as not to look like you are aggressively selling).<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p>You can not only collect leads from LinkedIn search but also upload profile links from a CSV file. Why is it useful? This feature expands the possibilities of filling the campaign Queue with leads.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For example, a standard URL to a free profile will look like this: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/william-s-bennett\/<\/li>\n<li>Your Sales Navigator link may appear as follows: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sales\/people\/ACwAAA8BYqEBlKc364xhzvywer-dsdfcfccTiwe2NE,name,sSHShttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/william-s-bennett\/<\/li>\n<li>And your Recruiter link looks like this: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/recruiter\/profile\/250049025,sBHS,name<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p>You can choose in which platform to process profiles within one second. At the same time, you can use Linked Helper to convert a Sales Navigator URL to a LinkedIn link (and vice versa) if you have a subscription. This will happen when processing profiles during a marketing campaign in the software (auto-inviting, sending messages, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>At the moment of visiting the target profile, Linked Helper will bring the link into the Basic view and after that you can download the file from the CRM.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p>Also, if your subscription to a paid plan ends, all data about people will still be saved in Linked Helper&#8217;s CRM.
