Salesgear lets you import prospects directly from LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches — without exporting CSVs or using third-party tools.

You control:

  • How many contacts to import

  • Where they go inside Salesgear

  • How they’re tagged and organized

This makes Sales Navigator a live lead source, not just a research tool.

Before you start

Make sure:

  • LinkedIn Sales Navigator is connected to Salesgear

  • You have an active Sales Navigator search ready

If not connected yet, check out the “Connect LinkedIn Sales Navigator with Salesgear” article.

How contact extraction from Sales Navigator works

Salesgear doesn’t scrape blindly.

Instead, you:

  1. Share a Sales Navigator search URL

  2. Review how many prospects are available

  3. Choose exactly how many to import

  4. Decide how they should be organized inside Salesgear

You stay fully in control.

Step-by-step: Import contacts from Sales Navigator

Step 1: Copy your Sales Navigator search URL

  • Open LinkedIn Sales Navigator

  • Run your lead search

  • Copy the search results URL from the browser

Step 2: Paste the URL into Salesgear

  • Go to the LinkedIn import / Sales Navigator import flow in Salesgear

  • Paste the copied search URL

Salesgear will analyze the link and show:

  • Total number of contacts available in that search

Step 3: Choose how many contacts to import

  • Enter the number of contacts you want to extract

  • You don’t have to import all results at once

This is useful if:

  • You want to test a list first

  • You’re working with credit or outreach limits

  • You want phased imports

Step 4: Organize the imported contacts

Before importing, you can:

  • Select a list to add these contacts to

  • Add tags for segmentation and filtering later

This ensures contacts are usable immediately — not dumped into “All contacts”.

Step 5: Start the import

  • Confirm your selections

  • Start the import

Salesgear will import only the number of contacts you selected and add them to your chosen list with tags applied.

What happens after import

Once imported, you can:

  • Add these contacts to sequences

  • Run LinkedIn or email outreach

  • Assign owners

  • Enrich, tag, and track engagement

  • Export or sync them to your CRM

They behave like any other contact inside Salesgear.

Common use cases

  • Importing ICP-matched leads from Sales Navigator

  • Running account-based prospecting

  • Building role-specific lists (Founders, RevOps, Sales Leaders, etc.)

  • Keeping LinkedIn sourcing and outreach in one system

Key takeaways

  • Salesgear turns Sales Navigator searches into actionable contact lists

  • You decide how many, where, and how contacts are added

  • No CSVs, no manual cleanup

  • Best used alongside LinkedIn sequences and tagging
