When you should keep LinkedIn Sales Navigator
- First-party LinkedIn profile data that people maintain themselves; no other source is as current for role changes.
- A compliant way to search and message on LinkedIn; scraping LinkedIn instead violates its User Agreement and risks account bans.
- Warm-path features such as shared connections (TeamLink) that rely on LinkedIn's network graph.
We'd rather you keep paying than switch to something that makes your work worse.
