Lead discovery

Lead discovery for outreach: build a list of the right people

Build a list from a LinkedIn search, a Sales Navigator search, people who engaged with a post, your own connections or a CSV file. See how well each person fits before a campaign uses the list. Importing never contacts anyone.

What it does

A small list of the right people, built in minutes.

  1. Many ways in

    Run a LinkedIn people search, paste the address of a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, pick up people who reacted to a post, bring in your connections or upload a CSV file.

  2. A dry run for every CSV

    The import wizard shows how many rows are new, already in the list, repeated in the file or unusable before it adds anyone. You can download the rejected rows.

How it works

Lead discovery

  1. Step 1 of 4

    Make a list

    Press New list, name it, pick a LinkedIn account and a source. Creating a list contacts no one.

  2. Step 2 of 4

    Add people

    Open the list, set your filters and press Import yourself. One import brings in up to 800 people, or up to 2,000 from Sales Navigator.

  3. Step 3 of 4

    Check the quality

    Skim the first people and the quality bar. Remove anyone who does not fit.

  4. Step 4 of 4

    Hand it to a campaign

    Add the list to a campaign when you are happy with it.

Limits and guardrails

What it will not do, and what you should know before you rely on it.

  • Sales Navigator searches need a LinkedIn Sales Navigator account, and the app says so if the one you picked is not.
  • LinkedIn applies its own rate limits to lookups, so a large import or a daily batch can slow down.
  • A revenue figure on a daily lead is an estimate, shown as a range and marked Est. It is not a quote. Companies without a known headcount show N/A.
  • Importing into a list that a running campaign already uses can start outreach to the new people, so check which campaigns use a list first.
  • Deleting a list deletes its people and cannot be undone.

FAQ

Questions

Where can the people on a list come from?

From a LinkedIn people search, a pasted LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search address, a post's engagers, your existing connections, incoming invitations, sent connection requests, a CSV file, your LinkedIn feed keywords or the daily ICP leads list.

Does importing contact the people?

No. Importing only fills a list. People are contacted only after a campaign that uses the list is started by you.

What are daily ICP leads?

A list type that fills itself. You describe your ideal customer once, and each day new decision makers from companies hiring for what you sell appear in a batch you review. It is switched on per workspace.

How big can a CSV file be?

Up to 50 MB. Commas, semicolons and tabs all work, and the file needs a column with the LinkedIn profile address and a name.
