LinkedIn Sales Navigator for GmailNode.io (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend
This product allows seamless integration between Gmail and LinkedIn Sales Navigator and imports data directly into our sales intel system. It is valuable to help map relationships and create timely sales pushes for key accounts. It would be valuable to have more robust integration with CRM systems like Salesforce and more reliable and robust contact information as well.

Node displays similar vendors and why they are similar which could be leveraged as a competitor as well as possible points of sales entry. It enables you to understand the customer, what technologies they are using, etc. which is very competitive intel. It becomes very easy if you are doing account-based marketing and if you are able to integrate into Salesforce.

Cons
  • Sometimes it tells me I need to log into my LinkedIn profile when I've already logged in. It's weird. It seems to be when the email address is not found. Instead of just saying the email is not found, it tells me I need to log in. Just something I've noticed.
  • Sometimes I get this weird thing where I go to compose an email and instead of having it open all the way to the right, it opens all the way to my left. I'm pretty sure Rapportive is what's causing it. It doesn't happen very often but sometimes I see that.

Rapportive is simple and great at what it does. Plus I anticipate they'll probably add more features in the future.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator continues to be a key part of our marketing strategy. We use it to manage our lead pipeline, connect with new potential customers and manage our existing clients. We started using Sales Navigator because our sales reps weren't as connected as they should be on LinkedIn. The product allows our reps to be more connected, and we're finding more opportunities by being more connected.

  • Really lets me leverage my entire business network
  • Empowers me to see the prospect's whole picture (who they know, where they went, what they do) and take advantage of that opening
  • We have no other system like it, so it's irreplaceable for us

  • Our company has increased profits 20% from last year after implementing Sugar
  • Our transfer to largely remote work has been hugely simplified by Sugar
