“LinkedIn has innovated in many ways in recent years. We use the Sales Navigator for our Team. We are able to use this Customer Relationship Manager to organize our leads, especially from vendors whom we have an affiliated relationship with.”  – Arcoma L. Briceño, Licensed Broker Associate, eXp Realty, LLC. Source: Trust Radius.

“It gave me the possibility to really find people that are a good fit for my business and what I am looking into. Easy to find really specific information like job titles, which company were they in and it is very industry-specific. It is great for connecting with the decision-maker or just to find leads.”  – Peter, The Million Dollar Training by Rober Rolih, Small-Business.

Octopus CRM

Here are some independent reviews of GetProspect from real users:

“Overall, I’ve been able to reach prospects in bulk and automate the outbound marketing process. Ease of use, most emails are accurate (even the unverified ones), the software doesn’t look for email addresses it has already found.” – Madhura S., CEO, Animation.

“It’s a browser plugin, and it requires your browser to be open. Sometimes it can be resource-hungry when having multiple tabs open. Somewhat more of a personal dislike is the use of Zapier. Somehow I cannot really get along with Zaps.” – Fabrice M, Inbound Growth Specialist, Mid-Market.

Conclusion

LinkedIn is, undoubtedly, a treasure trove for B2B sales prospecting. However, manual prospecting on the platform can be daunting, time-consuming, and overwhelming at times.
