LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a tool designed to help sales professionals find and connect with potential customers on LinkedIn. It’s a paid service but worth it if you’re in sales and want to generate leads for your business.
In this article, you will learn how to get emails from LinkedIn Sales Navigator in just a few clicks.
Two strategies for finding your prospects’ emails on LinkedIn (and Sales Navigator)
B2B businesses can use LinkedIn to access the contact information of their target prospects in several ways.
Scraping emails from your 1st-degree connections
If you’re trying to build your LinkedIn network, one of the best ways to connect with potential new contacts is to download their email addresses. And if you’re looking for an easy way to do this, LinkedIn First Connections is a great option.
If you already have a few 1st-degree connections with people who work at companies that match your target market, you can scrape their email addresses from LinkedIn. To do this, go to your account setting and download the LinkedIn contacts archive.
Choose to download your “Connections.”
Once done, LinkedIn will send you a spreadsheet with all of your first-degree connections, along with their basic profile information, in about 10 minutes.
The above method is an easy way to extract leads from your 1st-degree connections. However, if you need to download data for people who aren’t in your immediate network, Sales Navigator is the way forward.
Using the LinkedIn Sales Navigator
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a premium feature that can extract the email addresses of potential clients. It’s free to use for the first 30 days. After that, there is a monthly fee, but it’s well worth the investment.

It wants to make sure that its members are only sharing their email addresses with people they know and trust, so it has implemented several measures to protect members’ privacy. However, there are ways around it and one of them is the LinkedIn extraction tool.

When you click the option, the Wiza Dashboard will open. From there, you can choose how much of the search you want to export, the categories of emails you’re looking for, anda the name of your list.

Wiza will need to extract all the emails from the LinkedIn Sales Navigator list, which may take some time.
