LinkedIn

What we’d expect selling here to look like

LinkedIn sells Sales Navigator both as a self-serve licence for individual sellers and as team plans sold through demos to sales leaders, sales operations and enablement. The product implies a land-and-expand motion, where single seats and free trials turn into team and CRM-integrated contracts, and renewals depend on how well reps adopt the tool.

What it builds, by career stage

Breaking in

For SDRs, BDRs and those aiming for a first SDR role, the product implies booking demos with sales leaders and sales operations teams, using the same prospecting habits Sales Navigator teaches, which builds fluency in how B2B teams find and reach buyers.

Building

For account executives, account managers and those working toward those titles, it implies growing seat counts inside customer sales teams, moving accounts to higher plans with CRM integration, and protecting renewals by driving rep adoption.

Leading

For sales managers, directors and heads of sales, it implies selling to peers who run sales teams themselves, inside a large company where Sales Navigator sits alongside LinkedIn's hiring, advertising and learning products.

Where it can take you

The experience travels to sales roles at sales technology, data and prospecting software companies, and to account roles at large software platforms. It also suits moves into sales enablement, customer success or sales operations roles.
