How to Export Leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to CSV

LinkedIn Sales Navigator does not offer a native feature for exporting lead lists, nor does it provide the leads’ emails. To export lead to a CSV or Excel file, you will need to use third-party tools like a Chrome extension.

However, most extensions can get your LinkedIn account suspended!?

Prospeo is the safest way to export leads from LinkedIn. And it takes just 1 click to get your leads. Here’s a sneak peek of how your lead list will look like at the end:

Let’s continue with a step-by-step guide on how to get similar lists for you.

FAQ on Exporting Leads from LinkedIn

1. Can I get my account suspended if I export leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

When you use Prospeo the answer is NO.?

LinkedIn does tolerate automated lead gen tools due to their widespread use by salespeople, but it's well-known that such tools violate LinkedIn's policies.

To ensure your account remains safe Prospeo operates differently by not using your LinkedIn account to open profiles; its extraction process runs entirely in the cloud.?

This allows you to export your LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches and lists using external accounts, keeping your account secure and compliant. That way your LinkedIn account will never get banned or suspended.?

2. How many leads can I export? LinkedIn limits and workarounds

LinkedIn Sales Navigator has two limitations:

• LinkedIn search limit: You can’t view more than 2,500 leads per search.
• Daily Sales Navigator export limit: You can’t export more than 5,000 leads per day.?

LinkedIn Search Limit

LinkedIn displays only the first 100 pages of a search, with 25 leads per page, allowing you to view and extract a maximum of 2,500 leads. If your results exceed 2,500 leads, you won’t be able to access any leads beyond that number.

The limit for company searches is 1,000, as LinkedIn displays only the first 40 pages of this type of search. However, there’s a hack to go around these limits

You can use filters to split your search into smaller ones and extract more emails and leads from Sales Navigator.?

Watch the video below to learn how:

Daily Sales Navigator Export Limit

Other extraction and lead generation extensions scrape LinkedIn lists through your profile. Not only are old-school scrapers risky for your account but impose a limit of 1,000 leads per day.?

Thanks to Prospeo’s cloud-based approach, you can export up to 5000 LinkedIn leads daily — five times more than you can with a standard extension!

Keep your account safe, and export leads with Prospeo.
