How They Work Together
Profile matching
Sales Navigator automatically matches Salesforce leads and contacts to LinkedIn profiles. Reps see profile photos, headlines, and recent activity directly on CRM records.
Lead recommendations
Sales Navigator suggests new contacts at target accounts based on your Salesforce account list. Recommended leads can be saved and synced back to Salesforce as new records.
InMail from CRM
Reps send InMails and connection requests from within Salesforce. Activity is logged to the contact record, keeping all outreach history in one place.
Account mapping
Sales Navigator pulls your Salesforce account list to identify buying committee members, org changes, and account insights. Account-level alerts surface job changes and company news.
Setup Considerations
The integration requires LinkedIn Sales Navigator Team or Enterprise (not Professional). Team costs $149.99/user/month; Enterprise requires custom pricing.
CRM sync is one-directional for new leads: Sales Navigator can write leads to Salesforce, but Salesforce changes don't write back to LinkedIn. Plan your data flow accordingly.
LinkedIn data (profile info, InMail history) stays in LinkedIn's system — it doesn't enrich Salesforce fields like email or phone. Use a separate enrichment tool for contact data.
Matching accuracy depends on email addresses. Ensure Salesforce records have valid work emails for best LinkedIn profile matching rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sales Navigator add contact data to Salesforce?
Not directly. The integration shows LinkedIn profile information alongside Salesforce records but doesn't enrich CRM fields with emails or phone numbers. You still need a separate enrichment tool (ZoomInfo, Apollo, etc.) for contact data.
Which Sales Navigator plan works with Salesforce?
Team ($149.99/user/month) or Enterprise (custom pricing). The Professional plan ($99.99/user/month) does not include CRM integration.
Can Sales Navigator replace a data enrichment tool?
No. Sales Navigator provides LinkedIn profile data (title, company, connections) but doesn't provide email addresses, direct phone numbers, or company firmographics. It complements enrichment tools rather than replacing them.
