Considerations for connecting your Sales Navigator account with your LinkedIn account

Last updated: 2 months ago

When you access Sales Navigator for the first time, LinkedIn prompts you to sign in to your existing LinkedIn account. This required step links your Sales Navigator account with your LinkedIn account.

I already have a LinkedIn account

If you already have a LinkedIn account, signing in with your existing LinkedIn account ensures Sales Navigator reflects your professional identity, network, and activity. Connecting LinkedIn account helps you get the most value from Sales Navigator:

  • Get personalized lead and account recommendations.
  • Make sure buyers see your real LinkedIn profile when you send them InMails and connection requests.
  • See warm paths from your teammates’ networks with TeamLink, which expands your network by showing you when someone at your company is a 1st-degree LinkedIn connection with a lead (Advanced and Advanced Plus plans only). 
  • Unlock more insights about accounts when you visit their LinkedIn Page, if you’re signed into the same LinkedIn account you use with Sales Navigator (Advanced or Advanced Plus plans only).

I don’t have a LinkedIn account yet

If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, you’ll need to create a new one when you access Sales Navigator for the first time, or create an account directly from LinkedIn.

Important to know

 Keep in mind that LinkedIn’s User Agreement only allows members to have one LinkedIn account.

Admin access to LinkedIn activity

If your Sales Navigator subscription is provided through your employer, learn what LinkedIn and Sales Navigator usage data your account’s admins can see. You can opt out of LinkedIn.com activity tracking from your Sales Navigator settings.
